Compare an item's stock age with how long that model usually takes to sell. Once it goes past that, cut the price in steps (5%, then 10%) or send it to a dealer. Don't wait until the market price falls below your cost.
After how many days should you cut the price of aged stock?
By default the system treats stock older than 30 days as slow-moving, which calls for a 5% price cut, and stock older than 60 days as aged stock, which calls for 10% off or selling to a dealer. Your shop can change both limits in its settings.
| Age | Status | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 0–30 days | Normal | Price at market |
| 31–60 days | Slow-moving | Cut the price by 5% and promote online |
| 60+ days | Aged stock | Cut by 10%, or send to a dealer or marketplace to recover your capital |
See Aged stock and Days-to-Sell in the glossary. Laptops usually sell more slowly than phones, so check each model's Days-to-Sell as well.
Why is selling at a loss sometimes better than holding on?
Because used prices usually fall every month, and the cash tied up in an old device could be buying faster-selling stock instead. Taking a small loss today can cost less than a bigger loss next month.
The longer you hold stock, the more holding cost your Capital tied up carries.
The app alerts you to slow-moving and aged stock automatically, with a suggested price. See Inventory Intelligence
