Turning Returns Into Revenue at ASD Market Week 2026

In August 2026, Via Trading participated in the Summer Edition of ASD Market Week in Las Vegas. Our team connected with buyers, resellers, and industry professionals while sharing practical insights about customer returns, liquidation merchandise, and profitable resale strategies.

What Resellers Often Get Wrong About Returns

Via Trading CEO Jacques Stambouli joined Dave Gershon of B-Stock and Shannon Jean of Reseller Mastermind for an expert panel moderated by Tony Sciarrotta, Executive at RL Solutions Group.

The conversation focused on one important lesson: buying customer returns is not the same as buying closeouts.

The speakers discussed how resellers can identify hidden risks, recognize overlooked opportunities, avoid costly beginner mistakes, and turn returned merchandise into profitable inventory.

Putting Every Load to the Test

Following the panel, Mike Stambouli and Luis J. Garcia led an educational workshop titled: “Returns to Revenue: How to Evaluate, Buy, and Resell Customer Returns and Liquidation Goods.”

During this 60-minute session, attendees worked through a realistic customer-return load using Via Trading’s R.E.T.U.R.N.S. Framework.

The workshop showed participants how to look beyond a load’s advertised price and retail value by evaluating:

• True landed costs
• Product condition and potential risk
• Realistic resale value
• Operational and storage requirements
• Labor and resources needed
• Potential profit margins

Attendees left with a practical and repeatable process they could apply to future purchasing decisions.
