DealMappedWhich Categories Have the Best Open-Box Deals?
Open-box economics vary by category. Products that are frequently returned, easy to inspect, costly to ship back or sold in many variants tend to create more secondary-condition inventory than simple consumables.
Inventory density matters
A category with many active listings gives shoppers more chances to compare model, condition and discount rather than taking the first available deal. Our live category table below shows where DealMapped currently has the most inventory.
High percentage off is not the whole story
Expensive durable goods can create more dollar savings even at a smaller percentage discount. Conversely, a very deep markdown on a low-value accessory may save less money than a moderate markdown on an appliance or tool.
Use category data as a filter, not a rule
Return rates, model cycles and seasonal inventory change continuously. We therefore calculate the category view from the current DealMapped feed instead of publishing a permanent ranking that becomes stale.
Track the next deal instead of chasing this one
Search the live DealMapped feed, then save the search if you want an email when new matching inventory appears.
