How to read a clearance offer?

The world of clearance sales can be very advantageous... provided you understand what you're buying. Between vague descriptions, overly vague lots, or poorly explained conditions, misreading an offer can lead to unpleasant surprises.

At Simcha.fr , we believe in clear and transparent information . Here's how to properly analyze a toy clearance sale before buying.


🔍 1. Is the product clearly identified?

A good clearance offer should mention:

  • The type of product (plush, figurine, game, etc.)

  • The license or universe concerned (e.g.: dinosaur, car, famous character, etc.)

  • The format (individually, in batches, in blister packs, etc.)

  • Product condition : new, in original packaging, reconditioned?

💡 If nothing is clear or the description is vague, move on.


📦 2. Does the offer mention a specific quantity ?

A serious offer indicates:

  • How many units does the lot contain?

  • Whether it is mixed (mixture of references) or homogeneous

  • If the lot is limited or renewable

At Simcha , the lots are clearly listed and the quantities are verifiable . No "mystery" lots where you don't know what you're buying.


💶 3. Is the price reasonable?

A good clearance price is:

  • lower than the usual resale price , but

  • not unrealistic (beware of counterfeits or defective products)

  • displayed including VAT if you are a private buyer or micro-entrepreneur

💡 If you can't understand how much the unit product costs you → be wary.


📝 4. Are the terms of sale clear?

Check if the offer specifies:

  • The delivery method (e.g. Mondial Relay, Colissimo, etc.)

  • Fixed or variable shipping costs

  • Shipping times

  • Whether there is a minimum order or not

🟢 At Simcha.fr , shipping costs are fixed at €4.99 per order via Mondial Relay , and free for orders over €500 including tax . All products are in stock in France .


🧾 5. Is the company reliable and identifiable?

Before ordering:

  • Check that you can contact the seller easily

  • Make sure it is based in France or Europe

  • Prefer a seller who provides a clear invoice , even for small amounts

💡 At Simcha, you always have an invoice, a SIRET number, an accessible email, and a team that responds to you.


✅ In summary

To read a clearance offer correctly:

  • Check that the product, quantity and price are correctly detailed.

  • Make sure of the delivery conditions and deadlines

  • Choose a transparent, local, and responsive seller
