Returned Amazon product palette, which is sold at a very discounted price is called Amazon Return Palette – to any seller willing to roll this dice.
As a buyer of Amazon returns, you can make a lot of money by refurbishing and reselling used merchandise online.
The more you are willing to buy, the cheaper the cost. Typically liquidated items from Amazon are sold either by the pallet or the truckload.
When you try to buy liquidated merchandise from Amazon, the pallet or bundle will usually carry an “estimated retail value” and it’s almost always sold off via an auction.
If you’ve ever watched the show “Storage Wars”, buying Amazon return pallets works in a very similar way except that you are not allowed to examine the merchandise at all.
Sites selling Amazon return pallets are typically organised by category, lot size, brands, retailers and by location.
How can I purchase Amazon return pallets in the United States?
The best way to buy Amazon return pallets is directly through Amazon. However, the Amazon auction season does not begin until after the holiday season when consumers return unwanted gifts en masse.
In addition, there are many Amazon liquidation companies out there that buy from Amazon and other independent businesses and take a cut of every sale.
Regardless, buying Amazon returns is almost always a crap shoot but if you bid less than 20% off MSRP, you have a good chance of making a profit depending on how much time you spend refurbishing your products.
