📖 The Hustle
Toy liquidation pallets from major retailers surge from September through January. Buy a toy pallet for $150-300 in September from BULQ, Direct Liquidation, or B-Stock. Sort by brand and condition. New-in-box LEGO, Barbie, Hot Wheels, and action figures sell at 60-80% of retail from October through December. Save the best items for the two weeks before Christmas when desperate parents pay full retail on eBay. This is seasonal timing at its best.
🚀 First Step
Check BULQ and Direct Liquidation for toy pallets now, buy a small lot under $200, and start listing the best items immediately to build up your holiday inventory.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Buy toy liquidation in September — prices are low and you have 8-10 weeks to list before holiday demand peaks
- Save the top 20% of items for the two weeks before Christmas when last-minute shoppers pay near-retail
- New-in-box LEGO, Barbie Dreamhouse accessories, and licensed character toys (Paw Patrol, Bluey) sell fastest
