How insolvency stock is sold in Germany
In German insolvency proceedings, the court appoints an insolvency administrator (Insolvenzverwalter) who is responsible for realising the company's assets for the benefit of creditors. Inventory such as footwear, apparel or consumer goods is part of those assets.
Administrators usually need to act quickly: storage costs run on, leases end and seasonal goods lose value. They therefore prefer buyers who can take a complete lot, pay before handover and collect without delay. Individual sales to many small buyers are rarely practical in this situation.
How we take over and resell the stock
Our sister company we-buy-stock.com buys stock from insolvency administrators, brands and manufacturers on its own account, with payment before handover. The goods are then offered through we-sell-stock.com to registered trade buyers.
For you, this means you buy from a German company that holds title to the goods, not from a broker. There are no fees and no commission. Lots range from €10,000 up to several million euros, from single pallets to complete warehouse stocks.
How offers reach you
Bankruptcy stock is not listed publicly. Administrators expect discretion, so we send offers by e-mail or WhatsApp only to registered buyers whose profile matches. Each offer contains photos, a packing list with items, sizes and quantities, the price and the validity. Lots are allocated in the order of binding confirmations, and prepayment by bank transfer is due within 48 hours of the proforma invoice.
