Buying holiday family board games and winter footwear and apparel before the rush gives resellers a first-mover advantage. Every retailer knows that if you wait until the peak holiday rush to purchase, you are already behind. September is the moment when prepared resellers build their Q4 inventory, locking in prices before competition intensifies. At 888Lots, we see this pattern year after year. By the time October rolls in, board games and winter footwear begin moving at an accelerated pace, and prices across the industry climb. The advantage belongs to those who stocked early.
According to our system data, two categories stand out as essential profit drivers: family board games and snow boots. We have already received several shipments in our New Jersey warehouse, and resellers who act now can secure items that will be gone within weeks. The following breakdown highlights why this period is so critical, but more importantly, it shows you the very offers available at 888Lots today that can turn into reliable Q4 profit.
The Case for Board Games in September
Family board games have always been a staple of the holiday season. The difference now is that demand begins earlier. Parents are planning budgets in September, grandparents are buying gifts in October, and online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay record steady growth in board game searches even before Halloween. That behavior tells us that resellers who stock games now can spread sales across several months, not just in December.
The real advantage comes not just from broad category growth but from the specific titles that are available right now. At 888Lots Wholesale & Liquidation US, we are offering in-demand games such as Avalon Hill’s Risk Shadow Forces, Byron’s Continent Race, and A&A’s Wooden Chess & Checkers Set. These items are brand new, attract strong consumer interest, and are priced at liquidation levels that give resellers a competitive edge online. For those serving family-friendly markets, options like Ticket to Ride: First Journey provide an easy entry point for younger players, while entertainment-focused titles such as the WWE Road to Wrestlemania Board Game cater to fans looking for action and excitement during the holidays.
Every reseller knows that board games are low-risk because they never disappear from consumer interest. What changes year by year are the trending titles, and with our updated catalog, you can select exactly which styles fit your customer base. Whether you sell through discount stores, e-commerce platforms, or even local flea markets, these games have the versatility to move quickly and in volume.
Specific Board Game Offers Available Now
Resellers browsing our platform today will find offers for classic family board games that have delivered consistent sales for years. These evergreen titles are trusted holiday staples, priced well below standard wholesale levels to ensure healthy margins even after marketplace fees. For those targeting the educational niche, we also stock learning-oriented games and puzzles that parents specifically look for as “screen-free” gift options during the holiday season.
Alongside the classics, our catalog also features trending family board games that reflect current consumer interest. These games see rapid spikes in demand around November and December, and early buyers can secure them at liquidation pricing before competition drives costs higher. Quantities on these fast movers are always limited, and once they are gone, resellers often face paying market price from other suppliers. Our advice is simple: securing both classic and trending board games in September allows you to build a balanced Q4 inventory, generate turnover for months, and maximize profits.

Snow Boots: September Advantage
Snow boots are a different category, but they follow the same principle. If you wait until winter sets in, you are already competing with mass retailers and higher freight rates. Buying in September secures your margin before demand spikes. Our NJ warehouse has already received substantial shipments of branded snow boots for men, women, and children. These are high-quality items sourced from trusted retail partners, and they are now available to resellers at liquidation pricing.
One of the strongest opportunities in our current stock is a selection of women’s insulated fashion boots in assorted sizes. These products are in line with department store offerings retailing for over $180, yet at 888Lots they are available at a fraction of that cost. For children’s markets, we have colorful snow boots in popular sizes ranging from toddler to pre-teen, which consistently sell out early in the season because families need replacements each year as kids grow. We also carry heavy-duty men’s outdoor boots designed for work and utility, ideal for resellers targeting colder regions where rugged footwear is not just seasonal but essential.
Specific Snow Boot Offers Available Now
Right now on our platform, resellers can find a wide variety of branded autumn and winter boots for women, guaranteed to bring profits. The liquidation price allows comfortable room for resale across online channels. We also list assorted children’s snow boots in mixed colors and sizes, giving resellers the flexibility to market them either as individual pairs or bundle them in family sets. For workwear-focused sellers, our men’s insulated waterproof boots are particularly appealing, as they provide a higher ticket price and strong seasonal appeal from October through February.
Snow boots carry one additional advantage over many categories: the profit per unit is higher. Resellers can expect stronger margins, particularly when purchasing shoe lots where per-pair cost is driven down further. This way, the profit equation becomes even more favorable.

Logistics and Margins: Why 888Lots Works in September
The reason resellers continue to return to 888Lots is not only our inventory but also our ability to deliver at scale. Our New Jersey warehouse ensures fast delivery across the US, which is critical in September because every day saved translates to earlier listings and more time on the market. Our quick and efficient shipping remains one of the most reseller-friendly logistics structures in the industry, especially when dealing with heavier items like boots.
Margins improve significantly when you combine liquidation pricing, discounted lots, and shipping efficiency. Snow boot resellers can often price pairs at $40 to $60 while sourcing at way less from our liquidation offers. These spreads represent the real advantage of stocking now: your competitors in October and November will be buying at higher per-unit costs while you will already be in profit.
Preparing Your Holiday Strategy with 888Lots Stock
September should not be viewed as a waiting period before Q4. It is the launch pad. Resellers who build their inventory now have the opportunity to capture multiple sales cycles: back-to-school clearances, pre-holiday shoppers in October, and the full holiday rush in November and December.
Our advice to retailers is straightforward. Secure evergreen games like Monopoly and Scrabble because they never lose momentum. Supplement these with trending titles and educational packs to catch the parent market. On the footwear side, purchase assortments of snow boots across men, women, and children, and allocate part of your budget to higher-ticket workwear boots that give stronger margins. This balanced approach ensures consistent sales volume and profit diversity throughout the season.
Why 888Lots is the Best Partner for Resellers
We know that resellers value more than just low prices. You want reliability, transparency, and the ability to choose lots that match your audience. At 888Lots, our platform is updated daily with new liquidation deals direct from manufacturers and retail partners. The selection you see today is not what you will see next week, and this constant turnover is what keeps our reseller base competitive.
Our platform also supports negotiation on selected lots, allowing experienced buyers to secure even better deals. Combined with the simplicity of our logistics model and the scale of our NJ warehouse, resellers can confidently plan their holiday strategy without the uncertainty that comes with overseas suppliers or less transparent wholesalers.
Final Thoughts
The most profitable resellers are the ones who treat September as the real start of the holiday season. By the time competitors scramble in November, you will already be shipping orders and reinvesting profits. Family board games and snow boots remain two of the most reliable seasonal categories, and 888Lots is giving you direct access to items and lots that deliver strong margins and quick turnaround.
