Again, I understand how that can prevent a profit.
But how does it hinder you to put ads (I guess both Ebay and Amazaon have those) for your product and sell it off for half the price?
I'm not addressing that she might have to fold her business. I'm only addressing the being stuck with inventory part. That makes it sound like she had to throw it away or something.
- moltar 8y agoYeah, sellers do that all the time. You can liquidate. There are also Facebook groups where sellers bulk liquidate. The fact that they were stuck with inventory in the garage just means they had no idea what they were doing.
- waisbrot 8y ago"Stuck with" is a colloquialism. It's just saying that she'd planned to make X profit and instead will end up with a loss. There's plenty of ways to make a loss: sell it at a discount (near or below what you bought for) or spend so much effort making sales that your opportunity cost is more than your profit. The article's point isn't about how she's going to get rid of her useless inventory, so it just uses the shorthand that she's not selling at Amazon and has no immediate profitable back-up plan.
