Check Out The Dead Stock Stores in Oklahoma

Some could say that "dead stock" shopping is ironically very niche. But really everyone can appreciate a piece from their past that was once lost but is now being found in shops around Oklahoma.

What Are Dead Stock Shops?

Dead stock is exactly what it sounds like - everything that isn't popular anymore finally has a place.

Think back to the last time you saw high school musical related party goods and rugratz paraphernelia. What do you think happened to all of the long lost bulk products they made when the trends moved on?

Take a look at the deadstock store in OKC, where the TikTok user found bucketloads of 'Hannah Montana' memorabilia and even 'That's So Raven' plastic plates for every girl's birthday back in the early 2000s.

Where Can I Find Dead Stock Shops?

Really, there aren't designated dead stock shops - what you're really looking for are the dollar stores that are independently owned, not a corporate chain like Dollar General or Family Dollar.

Another place to check for dead stock are liquidation stores that are reselling items from stores that have gone bankrupt. You might hit the jackpot just outside of the major cities here in Oklahoma, like OKC, Tulsa and Norman.

Keep in mind that dead stock is usually in less-than-perfect condition, yellowed and aged. If you're looking for vintage items in a bit better condition, you'll want to hit up the thrift stores instead.
