So here's the deal.
I bought an entire surf shop's soft goods inventory, when it was going out of business, planning to just list things on ebay and sell locally. Life happened, so it sat while I was in grad school. Fast forward 4 years and I do not have the time. So rather than just trying to piece everything off on ebay, or hock it all online, or have a bunch of "sample sales" to turn a profit, I just want my money back out of it. Wholesale retail value of everything is over $8,200.00, wholesale around $4,000.00. I negotiated everything down to $1,900.00. Over the years, I grabbed a few hats out of it, and 3 pairs of sandals. So I am looking to get $1,800.00 for everything. A lot of women's clothing and bathing suits. Body Glove, Mar Chiquita, Rygy etc. Men and women's sandals. quiksilver hats, rash guards, roxy belts, backpacks, straw hats, ocean core board shorts, and some hyperflex wetsuits. This would be great for a surf shop, or someone who has the time to sell everything to turn a profit. Contact me for a complete inventory list. pauloquinn@gmail.com------------------------- Anything the mind can concieve and believe it can achieve |

wouldn't get your hopes up on for someone buying 4 year old surf swag, but I'm not in the surf industry so I may be wrong. Sometimes in central american countries the surf shops have clothes and boardshorts that I remember seeing in our shops a few years back so that may be worth looking into selling it to a shop in central america if no one bites on here, just an idea. |

Surfmcc32, I disagree. Bikini styles have not changed that much in the last 4 years, and it's not like a quiksilver cap looks that different now than a few years back. If anything, retail prices have gone up. I am not here trying to sell to a Quiet Flight/Catalyst type shop but figured someone at an independent shop, online store, or entrepreneur type might be interested. Please show some etiquette and if you are not interested, then don't post on another forumer's post and open with, here is why your stuff will not sell. This is especially true if you are not an expert on the matter you are speaking, as you just admitted to not being "in the surf industry". Thanks for your suggestion though.

didn't mean to offend you with the first comment, and I made the post to give the idea of selling out of country. But when you put it like that I can see it selling, I was close minded and thinking only of Mtb, Catlyst, etc. Now that I think about it more sandals, quiksilver hats, rash guards, roxy belts, backpacks, straw hats, ocean core board shorts, and some hyperflex wetsuits from 4 years ago are gonna be pretty much indistinguishable vs todays stuff. |

ha- gd smartalecky know it all college graduates with 0 experience always know how to trip & step on thier di-- in somebody else's house, then haveta apologize for thier di--headedness, ,or not, like some brand new 2nd louie assigned to a combat unit.

I know that you have previously said "No" to ebay, and such, but, , , ,
I have been an ebay "Top Rated Power Seller" and can get you set-up to sell. ------------------------- Dora Hates You |

Just to think about.. You stick this on a retailer floor at a shop not open to do business with some of these brands and you will get a letter fairly quickly from the brands lawyer to cease selling. Happens all the time. You have to have retailer seller agreements with a brand to sell their goods. And trust me, the surf industry isnt jamming on all cylinders and you stick these old goods next to a shop that is open with quik or roxy etc, you will definitely ruffle feathers. |

Can you give me an idea of how much you have available? Like, how many pieces of luggage? I have a friend in CR with a surfshop and he comes to FL to pick up gear and resell here, but tries to keep it in a couple of suitcases to avoid heavy intl shipping. I've got friends coming soon (I live down here also) so may be able to help get it here and arrange a sale. PM me if you want to communicate that way... |
