What is the difference between Reshopper Surplus Stock and the other categories on Reshopper?

As a marketplace, Reshopper features three categories for traditional second-hand items: "For Kids," "For Mom," and "For the Home." Alongside these categories, there is the "Reshopper Surplus Goods" section, which operates on a different business model. These surplus goods are all brand-new items—not manufactured specifically for Reshopper—sourced from bankruptcy stock, customer returns, insurance claims, and other excess inventory that might otherwise end up sitting in a warehouse or being destroyed.

Reshopper surplus goods account for only about 1 in 100 of the total transactions on the marketplace.
