overstock market subject to prior success Explanation: Definitely not "secondary market" as that is usually a term in finance referring to products such as commercial paper or other instruments which are sold a second time. I had a few options in mind: - remainders market (but this is just for books) - surplus market (but this is mainly for army/navy) So I tried "overstock market" and got a few hits: "How to play the overstock market By Michelle Kessler, USA TODAY A hidden upside to the economic downturn: It's gotten easy to find cheap stuff on the Net..." http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2001/12/05/gift-guide-barg...

Here are some hits for "surplus market": " FreeMarkets targets surplus market with buys" http://news.cnet.com/2100-1017-238279.html "Understanding the Surplus Market: A Primer on Categories of Merchandise for Sale" https://www.gencomarketplace.com/sws/action/Resources?menuTa... The term surplus market also has two specialty meanings you don't want here: - "excess and surplus market" (for insurance) - "army/navy or military surplus market" |
