About Windy City Clearance

Real Inventory. Real Auctions. No Gimmicks.

Windy City Clearance is a Midwest-based liquidation auction house built on a simple idea: massive amounts of surplus, returned, and overstock inventory shouldn’t go to waste — and shouldn’t cost retail either.

Every week, we bring in truckloads of merchandise from retailers, manufacturers, and distributors across the country. Instead of letting it sit in a warehouse, we put it up for auction — giving bargain hunters, resellers, and everyday shoppers a shot at real savings on real products.

Small-Town Roots, Serious Scale

Windy City Clearance is proud to operate out of Oregon, Illinois, under our parent company, Secondhand Solutions, Inc. We’re a hands-on, Midwest-run operation — but don’t let the small-town address fool you. Behind the scenes, we manage a warehouse of tens of thousands of SKUs, tracked bin-by-bin and rack-by-rack, so every lot listed on our site is backed by inventory that’s actually on our shelves.

That scale means one thing for you: a constant stream of fresh auctions, week after week, across every category — from electronics and tools to home goods and beyond.

How It Works

  1. We source it. Surplus, closeouts, and returned inventory come in from our retail and wholesale partners.
  2. We sort it. Every item is logged, located, and inspected before it ever hits an auction listing.
  3. We list it. New auctions go live regularly, with clear photos and honest condition notes.
  4. You win it. Place your bid, win your lot, and pick up serious savings — no middleman markup.

Why Bid With Us

  • Real inventory, verified daily — our listings are pulled straight from our own warehouse management system, so what you see is what’s actually in stock.
  • Local accountability — we’re a real business in a real place, not an anonymous drop-shipper.
  • Fresh auctions constantly — high inventory turnover means there’s always something new to bid on.
