Disposing of stock
Discussion
Maybe PH can help with this one, which is a post on behalf of Mrs TB.
For several years she has run a successful accessories business, importing scarves, purses, handbags, and so on, from the factory for sale in the UK and by mail order worldwide. Due to wanting to accompany me in spending more and more time out of the UK, and due to being strangulated by the last few years of government incompetence, she has let her stock run down and with the bsuiness about to close she is now sitting on a single item, but in moderate numbers. She has something like 500+ canvas style belts to dispose of, and with the usual suspects out of the equation she got to wondering how this might be done without giving the appearance of a fire sale - it's no such thing, she is under no real urgency or any financial / cashflow difficulties - and without going to her usual suspects who would probably think the above was true regardless.
She isn't contemplating the thought of attending many months of Sunday morning car boot sakes with relish, so that apart, any ideas and particularly for a single disposal?

I'd say either go to the existing customers with the single item as an "end of line" special offer or the bulk lots section of ebay at maybe 50 a time?
