Welcome to B-Stock–we’re glad you found us. If you’re here for the first time or new to the resale industry in general, this blog will explain what it’s all about!

Don’t have time to read? Watch our introduction video below!

Every single day, tons of products get returned or just don’t sell. But what happens to all these customer returns and overstock goods? Believe it or not, they don’t stay on primary shelves. Most of this merchandise is slated for what we call the secondary, resale, or recommerce market.

Recommerce | Resale Fast Facts

17%

of annual sales were returned in 2024

70%

of consumers reported buying secondhand

  • 17% of annual sales were returned in 2024, totaling $890B
  • The secondary market is valued at $700B and is growing faster than the primary market
  • 70% of consumers reported buying secondhand goods either for sustainability or economic reasons in 2025

Simply put, resale offers endless opportunities for entrepreneurs. It’s no wonder resale marketplaces like Whatnot, Poshmark, and ThredUp are thriving and the popularity of bin and discount stores are on the rise.

If you’ve ever dreamt of tapping into this booming market and reselling products that come from major retailers and brands like Costco, Target, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Foot Locker, and The Home Depot, there has never been a better time. And B-Stock can help.

Hear From Our Buyers

Hundreds of thousands of buyers choose B-Stock every day–some have been with us since the beginning!

“One of the things we love most about B-Stock is the diversity of product that you can buy. Whatever you want to sell, you can find on B-Stock.” – Chad, ProBid Partners LLC

“These are opportunities that I wouldn’t have been able to find on my own, but through your website, have been able to meet new vendors and bring new products to my customers.” – Debra, Pretty Little Things

Having a great selection of inventory is only one part of the equation; we also have an amazing customer support team to assist buyers every step of the way.

“B-Stock has been great because they’re super reliable, and if I had a problem, they would resolve it with me. There were people I could talk to. Their support and salespeople they got it. They’re like, ‘If we help Shannon succeed, it’s gonna help us succeed, right?’ And a lot of vendors don’t get that…So it was really a nice change, and they built an incredible credibility funnel that just led me right into it.” –Shannon, Reseller Mastermind & Founder of ReBound Trading
