While some companies are suffering losses from excess inventory, others are making bank from it. Liquidity Services fall in the latter category.

Liquidators, like Liquidity Services, often buy excess and returned merchandise from retail giants, which they then sell to resellers and regular consumers typically at a much lower price.
