If you’re looking to move your inventory without selling it piecemeal, contact your competitors to gauge their interest. In addition to direct competitors, contact resale and thrift shops that don’t often get the opportunity to buy new items. Set a price for your entire stock, which they might not want, then entertain bids for what they want. By the time they cherry pick, you might not have enough left for a sale. However, a donation might close the gap and make it worthwhile. If you feel you can move the inventory piecemeal with a more drawn-out sale, set a firm price for the entire lot — your competitor can still make a profit from the item he wants to sell, discounting or donating the rest.
