Definition
Dead stock
Dead stock is inventory that has stopped selling and is unlikely to sell at its current price: cash sitting on a shelf, often with storage cost attached.
Every shop accumulates some. The fix is to find it early, when it can still be discounted, bundled or returned, rather than discovering it in the annual count. Items with zero sales in 90 days are the usual first cut.
