overstocked
Too much merchandise
Overstocked means having more inventory or supply than needed or can be sold.
Retailers mark down overstocked items to clear shelf space: The warehouse is overstocked with last season's merchandise.
The term applies beyond commerce—a pond can be overstocked with fish, straining its ecosystem.
