Disposition evidence brief

Reverse supply needs its own decision evidence

Primary retail value does not describe what inventory can recover after return, overstock, handling, and secondary distribution. Liquidata creates a separate analysis record for the secondary-market decision.

Decision to make

Which disposition path fits the value and condition of this inventory?

FROM LOAD TO CHANNEL

Structure returns and overstock for a disposition decision

Primary retail pricing stays out of the secondary-market decision.

Questions

Questions to settle for this resale model

Can Liquidata analyze customer returns and overstock?

Yes, when the manifested product data is sufficient. Condition and category remain explicit parts of the analysis.

Is Fair Value the original MSRP?

No. Fair Value is researched comparable retail value for supported line items, distinct from the seller-reported source value.

Do source-safe public pages reveal the vendor?

No. The public contract excludes vendor, seller, marketplace, source URL, and internal identifiers.
