Categories that tie up capital
- Large CRT-era electronics and non-smart TVs — near-zero demand.
- Off-brand tablets and unknown-brand laptops; buyers cannot value them, so they never sell at ask.
- Anything requiring a warranty claim to be usable.
- Bulk fast fashion in odd sizes.
- Devices with account locks — unsellable regardless of price.
Seasonality is the hidden multiplier
Air conditioners spike March-June, academic books at admission and exam cycles, fashion and electronics before Eid, and furniture around July-August moving season. Buy off-season, sell in-season.
