Is this relevant if we only clear stock once a year?

Yes — one of the main themes is that irregular sellers consistently get weaker pricing, and the course shows how to change that without adding much internal work.

Does Palletise buy the stock covered in the course?

Palletise buys surplus, end-of-line and returned stock from UK businesses, and can also list on your behalf where an outright purchase is not the best route.

About this course

Written for the supply side of the market: retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers who need a repeatable way to move returns, end-of-line and overstocked goods. It covers valuation, presentation, buyer expectations and the cadence that consistently produces stronger offers.

Value surplus realistically against resale value rather than original retail
Prepare and present stock so buyers price certainty rather than risk
Compare offers on a like-for-like basis, including collection and timing
Set a clearance cadence that improves pricing over time
