The typical liquidation strategy for wholesale and industrial inventories is an orderly liquidation sale. For the liquidation of wholesale inventory, open sales orders are filled, and the remaining inventory is sold to existing customers, as well as to new customers and competitors. For the liquidation of industrial inventory, the opportunity to convert raw materials and work in process into finished goods is evaluated.
The finished goods are then sold to existing customers, as well as to new customers and competitors. Any inventories remained unsold after these primary channels are typically sold to dealers and brokers at significant discounts.
