Every week surplus flooring sits in a warehouse, carrying costs eat margin and the product moves closer to obsolete. PlankMarket is the fastest path from excess inventory to verified buyer — before the recovery window closes.
Plug in your numbers. See warehouse, insurance, depreciation, and opportunity costs — then compare holding vs. selling today.

Carrying costs do not pause. Depreciation does not wait. The flooring market moves on. Here is what inaction actually costs.
The longer surplus sits, the less you recover. The question is not whether to liquidate — it is how fast you can get it in front of the right buyers.
A dedicated liquidation channel that connects your surplus inventory to verified flooring buyers who are actively looking for it. No brokers. No middlemen. No wasted time.
Turn warehouse dead weight into working capital. In days, not months.
Every buyer who transacts on PlankMarket has completed business verification — EIN confirmation, document review, admin approval. These are flooring contractors, retail stores, builders, and purchasing managers who registered specifically to source closeout and overstock inventory. They are not browsing. They have projects to fill and budgets allocated.
Buyers set up saved search alerts for specific materials, species, grades, and conditions. When your lot matches, they are notified immediately. Your inventory reaches the right buyer the day it goes live — not after weeks of outreach.
Enter your specs — material type, species, dimensions, grade, condition, lot size. Upload photos. Set your price. PlankMarket's AI drafts a complete listing description from your inputs. Review the draft, adjust if needed, and publish. That is it. No copywriting. No formatting. No admin bottleneck.
44 flooring-specific data fields. Up to 20 photos per listing. CSV bulk upload for high-volume sellers managing large inventories. Your team lists faster, which means your inventory hits the market faster, which means the depreciation clock stops sooner.
Buyers pay through Stripe at checkout. Funds are held securely until the carrier picks up the shipment. Once pickup is confirmed, payment releases automatically to your Stripe Connect account. No net-30 terms. No collections calls. No accounts receivable friction.
Buyers have a 48-hour post-delivery window to report damage or shortages with photo evidence. If no dispute is filed, the transaction closes and funds are confirmed. Your seller dashboard shows real-time earnings, payout status, and full transaction history.
No onboarding calls. No account managers. Register, list, sell, get paid.
Not a generic marketplace with flooring bolted on. Every feature was designed around how this industry moves surplus.
If you have surplus flooring that is not moving through your usual channels, PlankMarket was built for you.
No listing fees. No required monthly subscription. No setup costs. The Free plan gets you started, and Pro is optional for unlimited listings and advanced tools. You pay 2% plus the inventory-only Stripe fee when inventory sells.
Buyer pays listed price plus the 3% buyer fee on inventory only. Your seller Stripe fee applies to inventory only. Freight is quoted separately with margin built in, and PlankMarket absorbs the shipping-related processor cost. Your payout transfers to your Stripe Connect account typically within 3-5 business days of carrier pickup.
Traditional liquidators
Pay 30-50 cents on the dollar for your inventory. You are leaving recovery on the table to avoid the hassle of selling direct.
Freight brokers and middlemen
Add markup layers, provide no buyer network, and give you zero visibility into the end transaction.
Open classifieds or general marketplaces
No flooring-specific tooling, no verified buyers, no freight integration, no payment protection. You spend more time filtering than selling.
