Frequently Asked Questions
How does the inventory turnover calculator work?
Enter your total cost of goods sold over a period and your average inventory value. The calculator divides COGS by average inventory to produce your turnover ratio, then converts it to days of supply. A secondary sell-through tab lets you enter units listed versus units sold to score your inventory health against category benchmarks for clothing, electronics, and collectibles.
What inventory turnover ratio is healthy for a reseller?
A healthy reseller inventory turnover ratio is 4 to 12 times per year, meaning your full stock cycles every 1 to 3 months. Clothing resellers targeting fast fashion should aim for 8 or higher; furniture and collectible flippers naturally run lower at 3 to 5. A ratio below 2 signals that dead stock is tying up capital — items that haven't sold in 60 days are candidates for repricing or liquidation.
What is sell-through rate and how is it different from inventory turnover?
Sell-through rate is the percentage of listed units that actually sold in a given period — units sold divided by units available. Inventory turnover is a dollar-value metric: cost of goods sold divided by average inventory. Both diagnose inventory health but from different angles. A 70% sell-through rate combined with a low dollar turnover ratio typically means you're moving cheap items fast but holding expensive slow movers.
How do I calculate days of supply for my reseller inventory?
Days of supply is your average inventory value divided by average daily cost of goods sold. If you hold $3,000 in inventory and sell $100 in cost of goods per day, your days of supply is 30. The goal is to keep days of supply tight — under 45 days for most categories — so capital isn't locked in unsold inventory. High days of supply often precede a cash-flow crunch when sourcing opportunities arise.
Which items should I flag as dead inventory and how quickly?
Flag items as dead inventory after 45 days without a sale for high-velocity categories like clothing and shoes, and after 90 days for slower categories like furniture and vintage collectibles. Once flagged, run a 10 to 20% price drop first, then cross-list to another platform if it still doesn't move. Holding dead inventory past 90 to 120 days costs you the sourcing capital that could be funding faster-turning flips.
