We just received some great new closeout tools at Kole Imports, which we’re happy to offer to you at low wholesale prices.  Take a look at your tool section and think about how these items would fit into your product mix.  If you don’t sell tools, you should.  There is always a demand for basic tools, and they are often bought on impulse, when the customer sees something he doesn’t have in his toolbox.  It’s even more likely to be an impulse purchase if the price is right.  These new closeout tools are wholesale priced low enough to be sold in a dollar store. They are UPC coded and packaged to hang on a display hook.  Click here to see all of our tools or scroll down to see the new items pictured below.

Mini Hacksaw Tool Closeout MT510

Closeout tool item MT510 is a nice mini-hacksaw, which is a plastic handle designed to hold a hacksaw blade.  It’s perfect for cutting things in hard-to-reach places.  This is a very handy tool, but don’t use it unless you’re wearing safety glasses.  What?  You don’t have safety glasses?  Fear not.  Take a look at the next closeout tool below.

We’re always looking to buy new closeouts, and if you have something you need to liquidate, here are some guidelines so you’ll know what we’re seeking.

A large portion of our customers own dollar stores, so merchandise priced low enough to retail for a dollar would be nice, but we’ve been doing really well with larger over $1 closeouts as well, so we will consider bigger items if we believe they are a fit for us and our customers.  Please contact Kole Imports if you have closeout merchandise you want to liquidate.  Call 800-874-7766 ext. 147 or send an email to closeouts@koleimports.com

New items, packaged for retail, and labeled with UPC codes are what we prefer.  We don’t buy chemicals, food, used or defective items.

We like to buy large quantities of each item, so they will be easier to sell in wholesale lots.  For example, if you are selling 2,000 different items, and you have 24 pieces of each item, we wouldn’t be interested.  But if you are selling 24 items and you have 2,000 pieces of each item, we would be interested.  We want to have enough pieces to be able to sell them to multiple customers and not be sold out after the first sale.

If you have an item you believe meets all of these criteria, put together an email with as much detail as possible, including pictures and the price you are asking for, and email it to closeouts@koleimports.com.

We just received a shipment of collectible pewter boxes inscribed with famous quotes or inspirational messages.   These are a closeout from a major gift company.  They are tagged with a retail price of $18.00 each.  Our wholesale price is much lower.

Scrapbooking is still hot, and we have some nice new scrapbooking closeouts.  If you have a scrapbooking section in your store, you should add some of these items.  And if you don’t have a scrapbooking section, you would be wise to add one.  We have a lot of regular-stock scrapbooking items as well as the new closeouts, and you can see them all in the scrapbook item section on koleimports.com.
