Connecting smart buyers with premium closeout inventory since 2009. We’re more than a marketplace—we’re your trusted partner in surplus trading.
BestCloseouts was founded in 2009 by Michael Richardson, a veteran of the liquidation industry who saw an opportunity to transform how businesses access surplus inventory. What started as a small operation in a 5,000 sq ft warehouse has grown into one of the nation’s most trusted closeout marketplaces.
Our journey began with a simple mission: connect manufacturers and retailers sitting on excess inventory with savvy buyers looking for exceptional deals. We recognized that the traditional closeout industry was fragmented, opaque, and difficult to navigate for both buyers and sellers.
Today, we operate from a 150,000 sq ft facility and have facilitated over 5,000 successful transactions, moving more than $50 million in inventory annually. But our core values remain unchanged—transparency, reliability, and a genuine commitment to our clients’ success.
Every member of our team brings deep industry expertise and a passion for helping businesses maximize value from surplus inventory. We’re not just brokers; we’re partners invested in your long-term success.
