Resale has always been part of retail, but how it’s managed has changed dramatically over the past century. From clearance bins and jobbers in the early 1900s to today’s technology‑driven recommerce platforms, retailers have continually adapted to keep products moving and value recaptured.

Our newest infographic, The Evolution of Resale and Recommerce in Retail, traces 100 years of retail innovation, from the rise of off‑price stores and ecommerce returns to the emergence of digital B2B resale platforms like B‑Stock. See how a once‑manual process transformed into a multi‑billion‑dollar industry that now powers the circular economy.

Explore how far the industry has come, and where it’s headed next.
