About

Surplus Inventory is a web-based platform that helps companies sell their excess inventory directly, instead of handing it off to a liquidator at a fraction of its value. Sellers list their parts on our site, manage their listings, and connect with buyers who are actively searching for the components they need.

Moving surplus off the shelf has real impact on a business: lower inventory value on the books, higher inventory turns, reduced working capital requirements, and more room — both financial and physical — for the products that actually sell. By going direct, sellers also retain far more margin than they would through a traditional liquidation channel, and often discover new customers along the way. And because surplus moves through a separate channel, your existing e-commerce listings stay clean — protecting the pricing integrity your current customers expect.

Visibility matters as much as the listing itself. Every night we submit all of that day's new and updated parts to the major search engines, so new parts, price changes, updated descriptions, and changes to availability and quantity are picked up within a day — giving your surplus inventory maximum exposure to buyers searching the open web.

Buyers get an equally direct experience. No account is required to search the catalog, and there are three ways in: by manufacturer and part number, by category, or with a full-text search that looks across descriptions, notes, and alternate part numbers. Because the same part number can appear under multiple manufacturers, our search is built to handle the realities of how surplus inventory is actually catalogued.

Buyers can save any search — manufacturer and part number, category, or full text — and we run it automatically every night against the day's new and updated listings, emailing them the moment something matches. They find your parts without having to check back every day. See how saved searches work.

We offer three subscription tiers — Lite, Standard, and Premium — billed monthly with no minimum commitment, and your first month is free. Subscribe when you have surplus to move, cancel when you don't. If you have questions or want to learn more, reach out through our Contact Us page and we'll help you figure out which tier fits your business.

Sign up and pick the subscription tier that matches the size of your catalog — Lite, Standard, or Premium. Your first month is free, and billing is monthly with no long-term commitment, so you can cancel whenever you don't have surplus to move.

Add parts one at a time, or upload a spreadsheet to bring your whole catalog over in a single pass. Each listing carries the manufacturer, part number, description, quantity, price, and the contact details — email and phone — that buyers will use to reach you.

Most traffic comes from the open web — buyers searching by manufacturer and part number find your listings directly. (See Maximum visibility from day one above for how we keep them indexed.)

When someone finds one of your parts, the listing connects them straight to you — your email address and phone number, revealed after a quick bot check that keeps scrapers and spammers out. There's no inquiry form and no middleman; the buyer reaches out to you the same way they would from a classified ad.

Surplus Inventory is not part of the transaction. You negotiate price, terms, payment, and shipping directly with the buyer. Think of us as a sophisticated classified ad for your surplus inventory: you keep the full margin and you keep the customer relationship.
