Jamie and Sarah McCauley spent $7,150 on items returned to Amazon, Walmart and Target. They’ve made $19,500 reselling them on eBay and Facebook Marketplace.
But pallet flipping is a gamble, the couple says. Even the lucrative Amazon pallet contained 19 pieces of inventory that still haven't sold, including some items too damaged to list at all.After selecting a pallet, Jamie and Sarah load its saran-wrapped cardboard boxes onto trailer behind a pickup truck, bring them home, and film themselves unboxing the products for their YouTube channel.
Jamie says it typically takes one to two weeks to make their money back, and four to eight weeks to sell 90% of the items. Notably, they've never lost money on a pallet, he adds:"We've had some really bad pallets, but we always at least break even."The McCauleys pick pallets based on items they can see from the outside, but there's no guarantee of what condition those items will be in.
When online shopping's popularity rises, returns skyrocket too. Last year, an average of 16.6% of all retail purchases in brick-and-mortar and online stores were returned,Some of those returns get sent to liquidation warehouses, primarily when retailers don't have space for the extra inventory. It can also happen when retailers want to save money,
"When a recession hits, people don't want to pay full price for things," Sarah says."[Resellers] thrive in a recession because people are trying to save money in any way they can."Jamie and Sarah suggest finding pallets from local sellers and liquidation warehouses to avoid potential scams.
