how do smartphone sellers recoup their loses from new releases of smartphones every months? we are in an era where phones keep on coming up daily and if you are deciding for a phone to buy before you settle for one another one with better spec is out. so my take is that the sellers that is stocking your store how do the recover from this. if you go to some phone stores you will likely still sees iphone 5,6,7 when iphone 8 & X is out. or infinix 2,3,4 when infinix 5 is out. even some stores still have blackberry bold,touch,storm,z10,z30,q5

last year one of my friend was looking for nokia express for some reasons know to him, but i was surprise the phone was still available in the market and he bought one.

so how do they make money from this situation and hand.

Buy in quantities/type relative to demand so as not to have an excess of a product which in turn gives room for new releases to be bought
They could also hold sales and sell products at huge discounts
Which lightens up the load

Have you heard of black Friday, dats how they sell most over stocked products
