At College Liquidation, we believe in keeping prices as low as possible — but even more than that, we believe in showing up for students face-to-face. That’s why our deepest discounts — up to 75% off — are reserved for the place where the real magic happens: our nonprofit campus pop-up events.

These events are powered by:

• Student volunteers and ambassadors
• Local organizations and clubs we partner with
• Bulk activation efforts that reduce operational costs
• The mission-first spirit of giving back where it matters most

Because of this, we’re able to pass along unbeatable savings that often feel too good to be true — and that’s by design. It’s one of the core ways we restore dignity, equity, and affordability to student life.

Our online store is meant to be a year-round extension of that same mission.

Here’s what you still get:

• 30–50% off name brands — unheard-of prices you can’t find anywhere else
• Convenient access wherever you are
• Optional Drip+ membership for even more exclusive deals and early drops
• 100% of proceeds fuel our expansion to more campuses and deeper mission impact

Shopping online helps us grow. It ensures we can:

• Maintain consistent operations
• Cover shipping, fulfillment, and storage
• Fund future pop-ups at schools that need them most
  

Everything You’ve Ever Wondered About College Liquidation — Answered.

What Is Drip+?

Drip+ is our monthly membership that gives you insider perks like:

• Unlimited access to shop on campus
• Extra discounts
• Member-only product drops
• Priority event access
• Surprise gifts, AMA sessions, and more

It starts at just $5/month, and helps fuel our nonprofit’s expansion to more schools and cities.

College Liquidation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by students, for students. Our national operations are led by a small full-time team, while events are powered by student volunteers, campus chapters (CLX), and registered student orgs.

We partner with Greek life, cultural clubs, business societies, sustainability orgs, and more, to bring each event to life.

Yes — sustainability is a core part of our mission. We:

• Divert thousands of pounds of unsold merchandise from landfills
• Track how much waste we’ve helped prevent
• Partner with local orgs to responsibly recycle leftover materials
• Donate unsold goods through nonprofit partnerships

Every purchase = reduced waste + better access.

We work hand-in-hand with student orgs to:

• Raise money for their group through revenue-sharing
• Provide volunteer hours and leadership opportunities
• Boost engagement across campus
• Give members priority access to products and partnerships

If you're part of a student org or RSO, we’d love to collaborate.

We aim for as many pop-ups per semester per school as we can, where we’re active. Each event typically runs for 3 days, and features completely new inventory, seasonal collections, and special drop alerts for members.

College Liquidation is a nonprofit organization. Every dollar we make gets reinvested back into:

• Paying student interns and pop-up staff
• Purchasing new inventory
• Expanding to more underserved campuses and schools
• Creating and building free student resources, mental health support, job prep workshops, and other programs
• Covering event operations and storage costs
• Staffing pop-ups with students
• Operating and logistics costs
• And more…

We believe students deserve access, dignity, and transparency — and our finances reflect that. We are proud to operate with transparency and mission-alignment. Every purchase = impact. 

Absolutely. Our mission starts with students, but it expands to include alumni, parents, supporters, and friends of the cause. Whether you’re shopping for your dorm or just supporting the mission — you’re welcome here.

Yes! You can give a one-time donation or become a monthly Drip+ donor starting at just $5. We also offer sponsorship packages for businesses, foundations, and alumni groups who want to bring our program to new schools or fund larger initiatives.

These are our student-facing, mission-aligned program branches:

• CLX (College Liquidation Exchange): Our on-campus student chapters
• CLUE (College Liquidation for University Equity): Our wellness and inclusion wing
• CLIC (College Liquidation Impact Collective): Our national organizing and sustainability arm

All of them help ensure that every campus event is rooted in equity, opportunity, and environmental stewardship.

All sales are final.

Because of the unique nature of our model — selling heavily discounted, limited-quantity merchandise — we are unable to offer returns or exchanges.
This ensures we can offer maximum value to students while operating sustainably as a nonprofit.

Yes — and we love it.

We work with fraternities, sororities, business clubs, cultural orgs, student governments, and more. Partner orgs can help host events, receive shared revenue, and gain leadership experience while giving back to campus.

Custom sponsorships are available for:

* Alumni groups
* Local businesses

Yes — anyone can support the mission by purchasing online or donating. While pop-ups are designed for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and families are welcome to join Drip+ or shop online when available.

Yes — College Liquidation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our structure is mission-driven, impact-focused, and built to grow with transparency and community benefit at the core.

No — we don’t sell used items. College Liquidation offers brand-new, name-brand items that have been overproduced, discontinued, or liquidated from major retailers and suppliers. Think of it as a campus-first clearance network — but nonprofit and purpose-built.

College Liquidation sources all products through a combination of:

* Liquidation purchases
* Brand or distributor donations
* Overstock and surplus procurement

These are often items originally intended for major retailers, manufacturers, or licensed distributors. Our products are sourced from a mix of overstock, closeouts, and liquidated merchandise from trusted suppliers and brands. We work with vetted suppliers to ensure that every product is new or like-new and appropriate for student distribution.

Brands often face:

* Overstock from seasonal collections
* Returns or unsold inventory
* Marketing samples or discontinued items

Rather than destroy this inventory (which is common in fashion and retail), some brands and suppliers choose to liquidate or donate these items. This allows them to reduce waste while helping nonprofits like us support students.

Yes. All items are brand new or like-new condition, unless otherwise noted. Our inventory includes:

* Overstock
* Shelf-pulls
* Unused returns in like-new condition
* Discontinued styles
* Donation batches from distributors

We do not sell used, worn, or damaged goods. Every item undergoes quality control before distribution.

No. Due to the nature of the secondary liquidation market, we are legally prohibited from guaranteeing or marketing any item as “authentic” — even if it appears to be.

Here’s why:

* Many brands include “no resale” or “no marketing” clauses once products are liquidated or donated.
* This protects their retail pricing, brand image, and authorized reseller relationships.
As a result, we do not use any brand relationship claims as of now in our marketing, and we make no guarantees of authenticity. This protects both our nonprofit and the brands we work adjacent to.

All sales are final. No claims of brand authenticity are made.

College Liquidation is a mission-first nonprofit that operates with integrity. We:

* Work with reputable liquidation and donation partners
* Perform internal quality control on all goods
* Focus on access, equity, and sustainability over profit

This model allows us to bring incredible value to students, reduce global waste, and create educational and leadership opportunities on campus — all while complying with industry standards.

The resale and liquidation ecosystem is complex — but if used ethically, it creates massive social good:

* Keeps quality merchandise out of landfills
* Puts real goods into the hands of students who need them
* Builds a more equitable fashion and essentials economy

By shopping with us, you’re not just getting great deals — you’re helping rewrite what access looks like on college campuses.

Absolutely! We love when students share their hauls, outfits, or pop-up experiences — just tag us and let others know the impact behind the deal.

Please note: while you may recognize certain brands or styles, we cannot confirm or promote brand authenticity in your posts.

We aim to visit active campuses as much as possible. You can follow us on Instagram or join Drip+ to get event alerts, exclusive drop dates, and early access.
