Howard Rosenberg founded B-Stock Solutions after leaving eBay in 2008, where he launched a unit that built and hosted private-label marketplaces. He recently joined AuctionBytes Editor Ina Steiner to discuss secondary market trends and whether it makes sense for sellers to source product on liquidation marketplaces such as B-Stock Solutions. Mr. Rosenberg discusses many issues, including:
Why eBay dismantled its eBay Private Marketplaces unit and whether it made sense given eBay's overall strategy;
Some of the reasons why retailers and manufacturers prefer their own private marketplaces for liquidating inventory over multi-seller marketplaces;
How online and eBay sellers can source inventory on liquidation marketplaces;
Where sellers can find returns and overstock inventory in bulk lots from retailers such as Macy's and Wal-Mart through B-Stock Solutions websites.
