Here's a bright and booming sector within retail.
Bulk Inventory Buyers
Off-price retailers — TJ Maxx owner TJX, Ross Stores and Burlington — are expected to see incremental sales growth of $18 billion to $19 billion by 2021, according to JPMorgan. And that boost will primarily stem from the demise of department store chains, analyst Matthew Boss wrote in a Monday note to clients. Excess Inventory Buyers
"We expect off-price will be the primary beneficiary of this brick & mortar sales volume up for grabs and benefit from the plethora of close-out merchandise for several years," Boss said. Closeout Buyers
And when it comes to the growing threat of Amazon, the Street shouldn't be worried about off-price players losing market share, Boss added.
Shares of Ross Stores were climbing more than 3 percent Monday, following JPMorgan's report.
TJX's stock was up more than 1 percent, while shares of Burlington were up close to 2.5 percent on the day. Burlington has been the biggest gainer of the three of late, having climbed more than 8 percent in 2017.
Here's the argument for off-price retail: Amazon's encroachment into the apparel industry more closely resembles a full-price department store, instead of a Ross or TJ Maxx model, JPMorgan's Boss said. He cited the internet giant's Prime Wardrobe pricing structure as an example, saying the fashion focus at Amazon instead looks to mirror companies like Macy's and J.C. Penney.
Since 2011, department stores have lost roughly $25 billion in sales on a combined basis, and are on pace to lose another $22 billion in sales over the next five years, should the downward trend continue, JPMorgan found.
Off-price retailers, on the other hand, have gained $14 billion since 2011, the firm said.
JPMorgan has upgraded Ross Stores to overweight, giving the stock a fresh price target of $74 per share, up from $65. The stock was trading near $63 per share Monday morning.
An important point to also be made is just how difficult the off-price model — offering a treasure-hunt type experience — would be for Amazon to copy online, Boss emphasized in his report. He cites "high barriers to entry" to tapping into the concept successfully.
"The model is difficult to replicate with over 1,000 buyers worldwide currently sourcing from 18,000 vendors in 100+ countries," he said.
Ross Stores' management team has also stepped up defending its turf.
"If I was Amazon, I don't think I'd be looking at the off-price space as my big opportunity," Ross Stores chief operating officer, Michael O'Sullivan, said at an investor conference earlier this month.
"I think within the world of retail, especially given the economics ... I don't think off-price is really the place where I'd focus my energy," O'Sullivan added about Amazon. "Doing a treasure hunt online is much more hit or miss, because you are not actually seeing — or you're seeing it, you're just not experiencing the product in a same way that you would if you were in a store."
Amazon didn't immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
At a time when many retailers are shuttering stores to get back to a "healthy" footprint, off-price companies have plans to open more doors in the years ahead. TJX even recently rolled out an entirely new nameplate, Homesense, in the United States.
JPMorgan has called out Ross' long-term store target of 2,500 locations as being "conservative."
"The growth runway for ROST is well beyond 10 years," he said, adding that — based on meetings with Ross' management team — JPMorgan believes real estate landlords are more willing to partner with Ross today, especially given the "fall-out" in the sporting goods and office space.
Ross Stores, TJX and Burlington are each forecasting same-store sales growth to close out the year — not something many retailers can promise in such a volatile market today.

How do I sell my excess Inventory.
“Inventory is money sitting around in a different form,” writes Rhonda Abrams in “The Rhonda Report.” And unless you can sell it, excess inventory can be a huge drain on profits.
This includes the cost of storing the stuff and the decreasing value of merchandise that’s perishable or becoming dated.
Excess Inventory Buyers Here’s how to make the most of your excess inventory.

Sell it to an inventory liquidator
An inventory liquidator will buy your excess merchandise and re-sell it, oftentimes at a discount. There are several things to keep in mind if you decide to go with this option. First, make sure you know what the value is of your merchandise and how much you are asking for before entering into any negotiations.
If your inventory is particularly brand sensitive or includes other factors, then you also need to establish that going into the deal. “Even if the buyer gives you the highest price upfront, if they put your brand in jeopardy or compromise your current sales channels then you still end up losing,” warns InventoryBuyer.Net. Consider the cost of delivering your inventory to the buyer as well. If you need cash quickly, inventory liquidators can be helpful, but be aware of the risks.
Sell it online 
If you don’t have enough to sell to a liquidator, try selling your excess merchandise through third-party sites. For single items, try listing products on eBay and Craigslist. Another marketplace for slightly larger quantities is Overstock.com.
Give bulk purchase discounts
Motivate customers to buy more than one product or service by offering “two for one,” or “buy one, get one free” discounts for bulk purchases.
Start bundling
Similar to the bulk purchase, gather several products or services and sell them for an overall discount. Buyers often perceive this as getting more value for their money and it moves a lot of merchandise at once, notes Abrams.
Offer extremely steep discounts 
We saw a lot of these when the last recession was at its peak. Products were put on sale for unbelievably high discounts, sometimes as high as 50 percent or more. Only offer this type of sale for a short period and avoid doing it regularly, otherwise you will find it difficult to sell anything at full price.
Use as rewards for customers 
Repackage products that cannot be re-sold, such as flowers, fruit baskets, or other perishable items as rewards for your long-time customers or new customers. We Buy Liquidation
Turn your excess inventory into gifts for references
Use your products or services as an incentive to get customers to bring their friends. Consider offers like “Get one free bag with each new client you refer to us.”
Give a donation for marketing purposes 
If you absolutely cannot sell the products or services, donate them to organizations and turn it into a public relations event to raise your visibility. Some examples include donations to local community events, schools or libraries.

TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2017 /CNW/ - Sears Canada Inc. ("Sears Canada", "Sears" or the "Company") is announcing that it has received approval from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "Court") to proceed with a liquidation of all of its inventory and furniture, fixtures and equipment located at its remaining stores (the "Liquidation Sales").
Closeout Buyers
The Liquidation Sales are expected to commence on October 19.
Sears Canada and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Sears Canada Group") were granted an Initial Order and protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") on June 22, 2017. As authorized by the Court, the Company, with the assistance of its financial advisors, conducted a comprehensive sale and investment solicitation process to seek out proposals for the acquisition of, or investment in, the Sears Canada Group's business, assets and/or leases. Sears Canada received and obtained court approval of going-concern transactions for various lines of business but following exhaustive efforts, no viable transaction for the Company to continue as a going concern has been received to date. Accordingly, Sears Canada, with the recommendation of its advisors and approval of the Monitor, FTI Consulting Inc., sought and received an order authorizing the Company to proceed with the Liquidation Sales.
Wholesale Liquidation Buyers


The Court also extended the Stay Period to January 22, 2018.
Sears Canada has a long and well-documented history of being a great place to shop and work.  Sears thanks its customers for their loyalty and support since 1953, when it began serving Canadians coast to coast under its then corporate name, Simpsons-Sears Ltd.  Sears also extends heartfelt thanks to its associates, both current and former, who helped build the Company into what was, for much of its existence, Canada's number one retailer, providing great value through quality products, exceptional services and outstanding prices. Sears, thanks to the dedication and hard work of its associates, also earned a reputation of trust and goodwill providing significant financial and moral support to community groups and charitable organizations that reflected the interests of the communities that Sears served. Over the past 18 months, Sears Canada had embarked on a reinvention plan that had begun to gain traction with customers. Unfortunately, despite the outstanding efforts of dedicated associates across the Company, Sears Canada does not have the financial resources to provide it with the time necessary to complete its reinvention.
After October 18, Sears will no longer be in a position to honour Sears Protection Agreements to customers. Most merchandise normally sold by Sears comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty, which will be available to customers directly from the manufacturers as is presently the case. Refunds on protection agreements will be allowed to customers that have purchased them within the past 30 days per normal procedures. Servicing on furniture and mattresses under the Guardsman (Valspar) protection plan will continue to be honoured in accordance with the protection plan documentation provided to customers at time of purchase. Delivery service will continue to be available until November 30, 2017. The Company will continue to accept Sears gift cards and redeem Sears Club Points during the liquidation period. During the liquidation period, all sales will be final and not returnable or exchangeable. Sears continues to seek a purchaser for the Sears Canada Product Repair Services (PRS) business but the terms upon which an acquirer of that business would provide services to Sears customers are not known at this time.
Leadership Announcement
Brandon G. Stranzl has resigned from the Board of Directors. In light of the liquidation, his services are no longer required as Executive Chairman. The Company thanks Brandon for his service to Sears Canada and wishes him well in the future.
Additional Information
The contractual joint venture ("JV") of Gordon Brothers Canada ULC, Hilco Global (through its Canadian division, Merchant Retail Solution ULC), Tiger Capital Group, LLC and Great American Group , LLC (through its Canadian division GA Retail Canada ULC) has been retained by the Company to operate the Liquidation Sales at all of its full-line and Sears Home locations. The JV group has significant experience in Canada, having conducted the liquidation sale in the Sears Canada stores previously announced for closing this summer as well as liquidation sales for other retailers in Canada including Target Stores, Express and BCBG.

​Excess Inventory Buyers
Closeout Merchandise is one in the same as excess inventory. A product such as a headphone can become a part of the world of closeout if the manufacturer decides to upgrade the product’s packaging. The older packaging was good for its time but it’s time to change it up and make it be more appealing to the customers. It can also become a part of the closeouts if there happens to be a canceled order. A manufacturer makes or brings in product X for a customer and their customer changes their mind about this order and cancels – This manufacturer either now has to find another customer for this or they have to find a solution to at a minimum cover their cost of production.
