Who we are
Thank you for visiting our website.
Grey Lots is a Wholesaler specialized in the sale of True Liquidation Merchandise. We are family owned and have been in the Liquidation Industry since 2002. We are experts in supplying resellers large and small with profitable liquidation merchandise at its fraction of its original cost.
What We Do
Our Merchandise
The large majority of our merchandise is secured under direct contract with Fortune 500 Department Stores & E-commerce Retailers and is mostly made up of Customer Returns, Shelf-Pulls & Overstocks. The estimated amount of goods returned to US retailers is in excess of $221 Billion/Year at full retail value (source: IHL Group). Of course not all those goods end up in Liquidation loads but this figure doesn’t include overstock or discontinued merchandise values.
Grey Lots also Offers Liquidation Services to businesses such as small to medium size retailers, distributors, manufacturers, Logistic Companies, Financial Institutions & more.
Most department stores will liquidate or salvage items that they choose to no longer sell in their stores. These goods will include customer returns, shelf-pulls, marked-down items, out-of-season, discontinued items, in-store display items, overstocks, etc. Each store will operate their program differently & there may be little consistency from store to store. Grey Lots purchases these loads under contract in very large quantities from the stores and makes them available for re-purchase to our customers either as a complete truckloads or broken down in to smaller lots.
THE HISTORY
Grey Lots was founded in 2002 and began operations in a 6,000 SQFT warehouse/retail store in West Los Angeles with a team of 4 including the current founders & owners.
The initial concept was to purchase excess merchandise from the domestic market and resell it through our retail and online b2c channels that we had initially created
In the early 2000’s the Liquidation Industry was fairly different then today. Supply sources were fairly centralized, customer service was close to non-existent, hundreds of brokers were operating in the industry and transparency was extremely lacking.
Recognizing the opportunity to solve many of the challenges associated with sourcing liquidation merchandise that we faced ourselves, our initial 5 year business plan was quickly transformed and the new one we still see being reinforced today emerged.
We believe that taking a long term approach to our business and operating with Key Values of Honesty, Integrity and Transparency coupled with our mission to offer World Class Customer Service has helped us establish ourselves as a recognized Leader in the Liquidation Industry.
We’ve been there – so we know your challenges and hope that Grey Lots can be an ongoing part of your solution.
