How it works

From dead stock to deposit in three steps

List in minutes, let verified buyers compete, and settle securely. You're never obligated to sell below your reserve.

01

List your surplus

Upload your lot — quantities, photos, condition and a reserve price. Listing is free and takes minutes.

02

Collect competitive bids

Verified B2B liquidators, off-price retailers and exporters bid against each other. See every offer and negotiate directly.

03

Settle through escrow

The buyer funds Stripe escrow before you ship. Once receipt is confirmed, funds auto-release to your account.

B2B resellers only

FAQ

Common questions

What is Forthclear and how do I sell excess inventory fast?
The fastest way to sell excess inventory is on a B2B surplus marketplace where verified bulk buyers actively bid on overstock, dead stock, and seasonal returns. Forthclear lets Shopify and DTC merchants list surplus for free, collects competitive offers, and settles each sale through Stripe escrow — with a 5% fee charged only on completed sales.
How do I sell surplus inventory fast?
The fastest way to sell surplus inventory is to list it on a B2B marketplace where verified bulk buyers are actively searching. Forthclear connects sellers to wholesale buyers within hours — you list for free and receive offers directly. No brokers, no long cycles, just direct B2B deals with Stripe escrow for safe payment.
How do I calculate the right wholesale price for excess stock?
Use Forthclear's free wholesale margin calculator to find the optimal liquidation price for your dead stock. Enter your original cost and desired margin, and the calculator shows you the floor price needed to recover costs vs. the price at which buyers will actually engage. Most excess inventory moves fastest at 30–60% off wholesale cost.
What is the best way to manage and sell dead stock?
Dead stock management has three phases: identify it (age reports, turnover ratios), price it to move (use wholesale calculators), and liquidate it fast (B2B surplus marketplace). Forthclear automates all three — it identifies aging inventory, suggests a liquidation price, and connects you with verified buyers ready to buy in bulk.
Is it free to list on Forthclear?
Yes. Listing surplus and overstock inventory on Forthclear is always free. Forthclear charges a 5% fee only on completed sales — there are no monthly fees or listing charges.
