Why would a company purchase Closeouts?
The off price industry accounts for hundreds of millions of dollars a year in retail sales. Discount retailers, swappers (flea market vendors), eBay Sellers, exporters, wholesalers and many other companies purchase these products. Closeouts are usually purchased at a substantial discount to first quality in line production. These discounts can be from 15% to 80% off first quality prices. These discounts are usually passed on to the consumer and afford a merchant the opportunity to promote a product at a discount to the market.
