How to recognize a real clearance lot?
On the internet, you see anything and everything sold under the label "clearance." However, not all so-called "clearance" lots are equal. Some are genuine end-of-line or unsold new items. Others conceal damaged products , drop items shipped from abroad , or even toys not authorized for sale in Europe .
Here are the clear signs to recognize a real clearance lot , and avoid the pitfalls.
✅ 1. Stock is physically available , not virtual
A real discounter has the stock at home :
-
He knows exactly what he's selling
-
It can ship quickly
-
It indicates limited and precise quantities
🟢 At Simcha.fr, everything displayed is in actual stock , in our warehouses in France.
✅ 2. The product is new, in its original packaging
The clearance concerns:
-
unused toys
-
in perfect condition (including packaging)
-
sometimes from discontinued collections , but not obsolete
🚫 If these are “damaged,” “incomplete,” or “reconditioned” products, it is not a real clearance sale.
✅ 3. The seller is professional , identifiable and accessible
A serious supplier:
-
displays his full contact details
-
offers invoices
-
is registered in France or in Europe , with VAT number
-
can answer your questions quickly
🟢 Simcha Trade is a company registered in France, with a team available to support you.
✅ 4. Prices are low, but consistent
A real clearance sale:
-
offers attractive prices , but not “too good to be true”
-
works with official licenses (Disney, Mattel, etc.)
-
announces its conditions of sale clearly
🚫 If a full batch of licensed toys is sold off at a ridiculous price without specific details: be wary.
✅ 5. There is no misleading promise
A reliable supplier will not tell you:
-
“You can resell at x5 without any problem.”
-
“Everything sells very quickly”
-
“You’re guaranteed to make a profit.”
🟢 A good discounter offers you opportunities , it's up to you to adapt them to your resale strategy.
✅ In summary
A real clearance lot is:
-
New, real stock, available immediately
-
Officially licensed toys
-
A reasonable discount compared to the market price
-
A serious, professional seller, based in France
