What is dead stock in an electronics shop?
Dead stock is inventory that no longer sells, or moves too slowly for the business’s needs. A high-value device left on a shelf ties up money that could otherwise replenish products customers are buying.

How to find it in your own records
Review purchase date, recent sales, cost, condition and current demand. Separate a product with low demand from an item that may sell better at another branch. Agree a review threshold for each category.
What to do with it
Consider a transfer, a planned offer or a supplier return where your agreement allows it. Record the decision and its effect on margin rather than applying a fixed discount to every older item.
