Inventory problems solved.
Deals done right.
We help retailers, brands, warehouses, 3PLs and insurers recover value from problem inventory — closeouts, excess stock, customer returns, refused freight and salvage. Single truckload to multi-truckload, decided fast, handled by the principal.
Who we help
Built for the people left holding the inventory.
Insurers & CarriersInsurance salvage inventory buyer
Fire, water and freight-claim inventory recovered quickly, with condition fully disclosed and documentation handled.
Retailers & BrandsBrand-safe liquidation
Excess, discontinued and returned product placed discreetly, without undercutting your channels or your brand.
Warehouses & 3PLs3PL abandoned inventory
Abandoned, refused and aged inventory cleared so your docks and racking earn money again.
What we buy
If it is taking up space and not selling, it is worth a call.
We buy across categories and across conditions. The lot does not need to be clean, counted or manifested before you reach out.
Distressed & bankruptcy
Distressed and bankrupt brand inventory
When a brand defaults, winds down or files, someone is left responsible for inventory they never wanted. We turn it into cash quickly, with a process you can defend.
For asset-based lenders, factors, inventory financers, assignees, turnaround and restructuring firms, bankruptcy trustees and their counsel.
A fast number that holds
A real bid or recovery estimate within 48 hours of receiving the inventory list. No renegotiating at the dock.
A paper trail you can defend
Written offer, the basis for the price, and full sale documentation for your file.
Any size, any structure, one call
We buy outright or sell on a recovery split. No minimum deal size. Channel and brand restrictions honored.
- No cost to you. We recover, we split, you get documentation of every sale.
- Show us the inventory. Get a price. No ladder to climb.
Send us the list
Get a real-world bid within 48 hours. No cost, no obligation.
3PL and abandoned stock
Stock the owner stopped paying on, once you have the legal right to dispose of it.
Excess inventory from brands
Good product in the wrong quantity, tying up racking you need for moving goods.
Overstock, shelf pulls and customer returns
Overbuys and shelf-pulls, plus manifested or unmanifested returns, graded or untouched, by the pallet or the trailer.
Closeouts and discontinued products
Programs that ended, packaging that changed, SKUs you are no longer carrying.
Refused and abandoned freight
Loads turned away at the dock that are now sitting somewhere accruing charges.
All other situations
Cancelled orders, packaging changes, short-dated goods, warehouse and facility closures, and mixed lots.
Insurance salvage and claims
Fire, water, freight and transit claims where the goods still hold recoverable value.
Not sure it qualifies?
Send it anyway. We will tell you plainly whether it is a fit for us.
What we do
Three ways to move inventory
Off the books today, or the strongest number we can get you. We meet you where you are.
01
Buying
We purchase the lot outright. You get one number, one pickup and the problem off your books.
Cleanest exit
02
Brokerage
We take the lot to buyers who fit it, negotiate the deal and run it end to end.
Wider reach
03
Consignment
You keep ownership while we place it. Slower than a buyout, and usually a better number.

Where inventory goes
You get to decide where it lands.
We never post listings publicly. Every lot goes to specific, vetted buyers chosen to fit the product and your requirements.
- Off-price and value retail
- Grocery, drug & convenience
- Independent & small-format retail
- Wholesale & jobber networks
- Online resellers & marketplace sellers
- Export & international distribution
- Institutional, non-profit & donation
- Recycling, recovery & certified destruction
Restrictions are written into the agreement.
Channel limits, no-online-resale, export-only, geographic limits, delabeling and certified destruction — whichever apply to your lot are written into the purchase agreement before anything moves, and carry forward to downstream buyers. Not promised on a call.
The cost of waiting
Inventory that sits isn’t free.
Every month obsolete stock stays on the floor, it costs more and is worth less.
Storage & space
Racking and floor space that could be earning on moving goods.
Insurance & handling
Coverage, counts and touches on product nobody is selling.
Capital tied up
Money sitting in a pallet instead of working somewhere else.
Declining value
Seasons pass, packaging dates, and buyers offer less.
Management attention
Meetings and follow-ups spent on a problem that will not resolve itself.
We help turn a line item you’re carrying into cash, space or a clean exit — on a timeline you control.
144 Asset Solutions does not provide tax or accounting advice. Consult your advisor on write-offs and reporting.
How it works
Four steps, no runaround.
Most sellers get an answer inside one business day of sending the details.
- 01
Tell us what you are holding
Send the details you have. If you need an NDA before naming the brand, say so and we will send one first.
- 02
We review it and come back
You get a straight answer — a number, a plan, or an honest “this is not a fit for us.” No chasing.
- 03
We put the terms in writing
Price, pickup window, condition and every channel or brand restriction, in a written agreement before anything moves.
- 04
Product moves, value recovered
We coordinate the pickup, handle the paperwork and pay on the agreed terms.
Why 144
An operator, not a marketplace.
We are the specialist for inventory that is too small to get real attention from a large firm and too big to handle yourself. One point of contact, start to finish.
One truckload or twenty
We are built for the size of deal that is too small to matter to a large firm and too big to handle yourself.
A decision, not a process
One person reviews your lot and answers. There is no committee and no internal approval chain.
Restrictions in writing
Channel, brand, geographic and destruction requirements are written into the agreement, not promised on a call.
No public listings
Your inventory is never posted. Offers go to specific, vetted buyers who fit the lot.
Condition disclosed both ways
We tell buyers exactly what it is. That is why they keep answering when we call.
Paperwork handled
Manifests, BOLs, resale certificates, destruction certificates and claim documentation.

How Channel Restrictions Protect Your Brand in a Liquidation
Moving excess product does not have to mean losing control of where it lands. Channel restrictions are the mechanism — here is how they work.
