A new spotlight on the liquidation trade
On Thursday, October 2 at 10:15pm, Kabel Eins launched the brand-new doku-soap "Die Restposten-Kings." Across eight episodes, the series follows six traders in the world of surplus stock and returns as they chase deals, negotiate under pressure, and reveal the highs and lows of a unique business.
For our industry, it’s rare to see prime-time television take an interest in what happens behind the doors of warehouses. Die Restposten-Kings offers the public a glimpse into a trade that many only encounter when they spot a bargain in-store or online. For entrepreneurs already active in the field, it’s a show worth watching closely — both entertaining and instructive.
Episode 3: “Dicker, wo ist der Gummibesen?”
After the premiere and a strong follow-up in Episode 2, the third episode airs on Thursday, October 16 at 22:15. Its playful title — “Dicker, wo ist der Gummibesen?” — hints at the colorful, fast-paced nature of the show.
Episode 3 is especially meaningful for us at Liquidation Stock: this is the episode where we make our appearance. In our first blog, we teased that you might catch us in the series. Now we can confirm it: Episode 3 features us sharing a bit of our perspective and industry know-how.
Behind the scenes: helping businesses grow
What excites us most about Die Restposten-Kings isn’t simply seeing ourselves on screen. It’s watching some of our own customers featured as part of the cast. Their stories are a powerful reminder of how far determination — combined with the right support — can take a business.
Many of our customers started small: buying their first pallets, experimenting with sales channels, and learning as they went. With access to reliable stock, guidance, and our supportive partnership, they’ve grown into entrepreneurs.
-
Some built impressive followings on TikTok, where they entertain audiences with unboxings and connect with new buyers.
-
Others run live auctions, turning social media streams into fast-paced, interactive sales events.
-
And even others are now part of a nationwide doku-soap, showing Germany what the liquidation trade looks like up close.
For us, this is a proud moment. We love working behind the scenes to help businesses grow — whether that means guiding someone through their first stock purchase or supporting established resellers as they scale. Episode 3 is proof of what’s possible when expertise and ambition come together.
Starting out or stuck? You don’t have to go it alone
