For small & mid-sized brands

Your products, sold the way you'd sell them yourself.

Hollowmere is a marketplace retailer that works the way brands wish resellers would. We protect your pricing, keep your listings accurate and stocked, and grow your line one proven step at a time.

INVOICE-SOURCED ✦ MAP HONORED EST. 2025 ✦ ✦
The Hollowmere Charter

Four promises, in writing.

Most brands have been burned by a reseller who tanked the price or sold questionable stock. These are the terms we hold ourselves to with every brand we carry.

I.

MAP is honored. Always.

We never price below your minimum advertised price, and we don't race to the bottom to win a sale.

II.

Invoice-sourced only.

Every unit comes from the brand or an authorized distributor, with a paper trail. No arbitrage, no diverted or gray-market stock.

III.

We never compete with you.

If a brand sells its own listing, we stay off it. We're here to extend your reach, not take your sales.

IV.

In stock, never dumped.

We plan inventory from sales data so your listings stay live, and we never liquidate your product at a discount.

How we work

A partnership that starts small and earns its way up.

  1. Waypoint 01

    Introduction

    We learn your line, your channels, and what's gone wrong with resellers before.

    Authorization

    We sell only with your written approval, on terms that work for both sides.

  3. Waypoint 03

    Test order

    A modest first order so we can both see how fulfillment and sell-through go.

  4. Waypoint 04

    Launch

    Accurate, well-kept listings, with photos and video shot in real use.

  5. Summit

    Grow together

    Steady reorders, and more of your line added in stages as it proves out.

What we bring

Notes from the field.

We work with good brands in any category where we can do right by them.

Data

We forecast before we buy.

We track marketplace sales-rank data across categories and use it to size every order, so your listings stay stocked without excess.

Logistics

Prepped in Texas, shipped on schedule.

Inventory is received and prepped at our own facility and sent to Amazon fulfillment on a regular cycle.

Content

Shot in real use, not in a studio.

Products get photographed and filmed where they're actually used, so shoppers see how they really work.

The founder

Owned and run by a U.S. Marine.

Hollowmere is two Old English words put together. A hollow is a small valley tucked between hills. A mere is a lake. Hollowmere means the lake in the valley, and that picture is the whole idea behind the name.

I'm Carl Feathers. I served in the Marine Corps, then spent 13 years driving a truck, where I learned firsthand how freight moves and what it takes to get product where it needs to go, on time and in good shape. I've also spent years in sales.

Through all of it, one picture stayed the same: a quiet piece of land off the main road, hills on every side, still water at the bottom.

That's how I run this business. Still water doesn't rush, and it doesn't churn. I'd rather build something steady with a few good brands than chase fast money. Your pricing is protected, your listings are cared for, and when you call, you get me.

Policy

Brand Protection Policy

Hollowmere Trading Co. · Effective October 2026

This is how Hollowmere Trading Co. handles the products we sell. It's written in plain language on purpose. Any agreement we sign with a brand will spell out the details, but these are the rules we follow either way.

1.Where our products come from

Every unit we sell comes directly from the brand or from an authorized distributor, and we keep the invoice on file for all of it.

2.Pricing

We follow every brand's minimum advertised price (MAP). We don't price below it, and we don't use automated pricing to undercut it.

If a brand changes its MAP, we update our prices as soon as we're notified.

3.Listings

4.Inventory and stock

We plan inventory from sales data so listings stay in stock. We never liquidate a brand's product below MAP to clear space.

For any product with an expiration date, we require at least 180 days of shelf life when we receive it.

5.Working directly with brands

6.Questions

If you have a question about this policy, or a concern about one of our listings, use the contact form and the owner will get back to you personally.
