Title: Chorogrip
Post by: sbell111 on March 11, 2011, 09:42:50 AM
Like most others on this forum, we strive to sell off everything from purchased lockers super fast in order to maintain liquidity to keep buying lockers (and actually be able to spend some profit  :D).  However, sometimes things stick around for a while for various reasons.  Certain items sell best just before Christmas, for instance.  So you buy and hold those, getting a better return when you sell them in November and December.

On rare occasions, we end up holding onto certain items simply because we know it has value, but aren't able to find the right channel to get rid of it.  My albatross has been chorogrips.  Quite a while ago, we dragged three brand new cases of probably five hundred (or more) of these things out of a stuffed locker.  I really don't want to just throw them away because they have value, but until I find that right buyer, they've just been taking up real estate.

I agree, there are some things you just know have value to the right person. I bought a unit that had a 55 gallon drum of 35% pure Hydrogen Peroxide. It took forever to sell, but the point is, it did. Others were telling me to just trash it and move on, but the difference between the people who lose money and make money in this business is the ability to capitalize on everything you have to work with. Remember, one mans trash is another mans treasure. Everything will eventually sell if you have it priced correctly, with the exception of Chorogrip, (just kidding).

Heck, try calling the owner of the company directly and tell him what you have,....he may have a customer he can refer you to if you agree to sell them for less than retail or if you agree to donate a portion of your sale to some singing charity or something like this.

Short of that, you need to call on big churches and schools who would have big choirs and offer them to them

Maybe even their one distributor would buy them from you for wholesale cost so they could flip them at retail?

Just some thoughts.....but then again, I have been told for many years that I could sell Ice to Eskimos...haha

Why don't you contact a church and see if they are willing to buy some.

I just joined this site today so I am a newbie. Did you ever find a buyer for these? Just curious.
