I need research on the best way to liquidate a furniture store for
best return on the dollar. The store has been open for about a year
and a half, is close to breaking even, but cash flow is getting
extremely tight. I realize that the answer can in no way tell me what
to do in my particular circumstances, but I would like to see some
statistics for the following scenarios:
Sell the business as a going concern
Try to sell off inventory to a broker or another company
Have a public auction
Have a going-out-of business sale, either on my own or through a
promotional company
If you think of other scenarios, besides these four, don't hesitate to
add to them.

have you considered online auction sites such as ebay?
