What is dead stock and what should I do with it?

Dead stock is inventory that has stopped selling at any price you would accept. It occupies storage, consumes working capital, and usually loses value while you decide. The options are discounting, bundling it with products that do move, selling it to a liquidator, or writing it off, and all of them are cheaper than holding it another year.

The number that matters is what the cash would earn elsewhere. Storage costs are visible and small; the capital locked in unsold goods is invisible and large.
