📖 The Hustle
Purchase a small Amazon return pallet from liquidation sites like BULQ, Liquidation.com, or Direct Liquidation for $150-300. These pallets contain 20-50 customer-returned items in mixed condition. Sort items into new/open box, used/working, and broken/parts piles. Test everything. List new items at 70-80% of retail and used items at 40-60%. Sell broken items in lots for parts. Expect 15-30% of items to be unsellable.
🚀 First Step
Browse BULQ.com and DirectLiquidation.com, find a small Amazon returns pallet under $200 with a manifest list, and order your first pallet today.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Start with a 20-30 item pallet under $200 — do not go for the 100+ item truckload as a beginner
- Budget that 15-30% of return pallet items will be broken, missing parts, or worthless
- Sort immediately upon arrival — new, used, for parts — and list the best items the same day
