1. Pallet liquidation auctions work like live bids. Pallets are compiled by liquidation companies or independent sellers and then sold on liquidation platforms. The buying process is similar to eBay, where customers bid or offer a price for a listing. The more bids a pallet listing has, the higher the price will likely be. Whoever has the highest bid in the end wins the pallet.^[5]

   • In some instances, a listing will have a reserve price (or a starting price listed by the seller), which is the lowest price the seller will accept for the pallet.
   • Auctions usually last between 48 and 72 hours, but this can be changed by the seller.

1. Target pallets can cost anywhere between $200 and $5,000+. The pallet’s cost depends on the pallet’s size and quality and the auction and bidding process. In some cases, you can snag a pallet full of quality items for around $200. But a larger pallet with a high number of bids could cost well over $1,000.

   • The beauty of purchasing liquidation palettes is that you can work around your budget. Categorize auctions by price to stay within your price range.^[6]
   • Typically, the items in the pallets cost more than the pallets themselves; however, this is always a gamble, as there’s never a sure way to know what will be in a pallet.

1. Target pallets are full of items related to the category of purchase. What you find in your Target liquidation pallet will likely be a complete mystery! You can find clothing, furniture, home goods, electronics, and more within a pallet. Some sellers list top brands, categories of items, and/or the overall quality of items in the pallet, but there’s rarely ever a full rundown of what’s in the box.

   • Because of this, it’s best to be mindful about what you’re purchasing, as most companies do not accept returns on liquidation purchases.^[7]

   Delabel all products you want to sell. Delabeling is the process of removing any and all labels from a product before reselling it. More often than not, the items in your pallet will have destroyed or removed labels. However, if a shipping label or price tag is still on the product, it’ll need to be removed.^[8]

   Take pictures. Don’t skip taking quality pictures of the products you want to sell! Put clothes on mannequins. Display knick-knacks on a white background. Do your best to make the product look like something people will want to buy.^[9]
