Overstock
Overstock means to stock more of something than is needed or can be sold.
Retailers overstock when they order too much inventory: We overstocked on holiday decorations.
As a noun, overstock refers to the excess goods themselves, often sold at discount: The warehouse is full of overstock from last season.
