Set a Price Drop.
Watch buyers come to you.
When you list your inventory on Max Retail, it’s already aged and you’re ready to turn it back into cash. However, some of your inventory sells much faster than others. Price Drops help you sell the rest.Â
What Is a Price Drop?
✔ Automated discounts you schedule based on how long an item’s been listed
✔ You set the rules — what discount, at what point in time — and we handle the rest
✔ No daily maintenance required
How Do They Impact My Sales?
✔ Converts already-interested shoppers
✔ Attracts a greater pool of shoppers who can afford the new, lower price
✔ Increases sell-through on aged listings, boosting your payouts
What Extra Exposure Does it Give My Listings?
✔ Special site placement on Sales Channels
✔ Discount badges that help your items stand out
✔ Alerts sent to thousands of shoppers who:
– Have your items sitting in their cart
– Have your items saved to their wishlist
– Have liked or are “watching” your items on resale marketplaces
Choose Your Price Drop Strategy
Max Retail offers three ways to run your Price Drops — pick the one that fits your inventory and payout goals:
- Slash & Clear — Aggressive. 10% off every two weeks, capping at 60% around day 90. Built for sellers who want aged inventory gone fast.
- Slow Drip — Steady. 10% at 90 days, 20% at 120 days, then 10% every 30 days up to 50%. Built for sellers who want more runway before deep discounts kick in.
- Choose Your Own Adventure — Custom. Set your own tiers and timing to match your inventory and payout goals. We recommend 10% increments for maximum exposure across every marketplace.
Guardrails
✔ $20 floor, always. No matter your discount percentage or how long an item’s been listed, your Max Retail list price never drops below $20.
✔ Brand exclusions. Customize within any strategy – Exclude specific brands to hold at full price.
✔ Update anytime. Change your strategy, tiers, or exclusions whenever you want. Nothing’s locked in.
