@@victormanuelolivas6029 we just went on Facebook and searched the term “pallet liquidation” and found different groups in our area. There were quite a few. We live in a medium sized city👍
I love the way that you guys lay everything out with a timeline, a price structure, some results analysis, and do it all in a format that makes sense and is easily comprehensible. Bravo!
My wife and I flip pallets and the Amazon app will let you scan the barcode and give you the exact item. Also, make sure to open all of the boxes to make sure its in good working condition and test to make sure it works.
@@Prietoalejandro we sell on both! We check what others are selling the items for. If they are unopened box shelf pulls we are at about 75-80% retail on ebay and 60% on marketplace. Some items sell better on marketplace and there are no fees for local sales on marketplace.
If you sell some of them on EBAY put new in box. Also make the customer pay for shipping, but if you include it in the price, make your price higher to include shipping. I sell items on EBAY. I suggest you take photos of the items out of the box because folks might try to rip you off like they did Amazon with the Microwave. Good luck! I agree with another comment about this being a bad time of year to sell stuff - after Christmas and before folks get tax refunds. I used to work retail also.. :)
something to bear in mind is that you can part out pieces when the item is broken. A good example of this, I bought a bread machine at a garage sale for $5 to resell that didnt run. But I sold the pan for $15 and the mixing paddle sold for $18. Personally I would never do a pallet as they tend be way overpriced and require a lot of work as you discovered. Garage sales and thrift stores (if done with know how, there are a lot of great youtubers that help you out) can be fun and profitable
u guys r great! Thank u for ur honesty. u vids r the perfect pace, succinct and so informative walking us through all the steps as well as hurdles. Also, ur baby is the cutest I have ever seen!
Oh, well! Now you get a feel for what it’s like running a small store. EBay is a lot more work, but seems better for more specialized hobby items like golf clubs. It was fun watching you, though.
I used to sell and buy on FB marketplace but have stopped because it is now flooded with shipping sites. It used to be where you could easily sell or buy locally but now it seems to be more commercial retail. Also it is taxed.
Reselling takes patience and it is a full time job. I have been reselling for 6 years and it has made me a lot of money but some items sit for a year + depending. Thank you for making this honest video! New sub here ☺️
I think someone else commented something similar, but my thoughts are the time of year. May be more successful in the second half of the year or closer to Christmas time.
I really enjoyed this video. I think they might sell better at a garage sale than FB marketplace. I hate that FB marketplace is just a bunch of ads and shipping options now. I loved when it was just local products. Anyways, great video
The items you bought are great items. It’s just they’re too big. Bigger items = higher shipping. The best pallets to look for are the smaller items that weigh less than 16 oz so you can ship First Class mail.
Hey Jamie & Sarah! I am curious to know what microphone you guys use to capture the audio in your videos? (it's excellent!) Thanks for all of your great content! :P
Thank y’all for doing this! I know it was a ton of work but I personally appreciate y’all trying it in order to educate us all! I’ve been curious about pallet flipping and this has helped me decide to probably steer clear 😊Keep up the work! I’ve really enjoyed yalls channel and have started flipping furniture and have LOVED it! $1200 profit after 3 weeks 😁
Yes, we have had our Omega for 7 years! It is my favorite. Definitely not flipping a pallette after this video. I think there was too much I would want to keep.
My Father makes stuffed artichokes with a pressure cooker like that so people do use them…good video I want to buy a Amazon returns pallet but I’m not there yet
Holy cow that was stressful to watch! I’m sure it was stressful during the making of the video! A good lesson for us though! Don’t risk it unless you are willing to lose it or at least wait on the profit to return.
I’ve see so many liquidation pallet horror stories that it just scares me off it. I did see someone once get pallets from Goodwill for $25 a pallet. Now that seems worth it to me. Glad you guys made some profit and got that nespresso!
@@HuyLe-vo4pg Definitely not like every other business lol. Pallets are 100% a gamble, but with research you can easily start a profitable company and after enough experience make a guaranteed profit.
I have heard of FB marketplace messing with peoples first photos, hiding local sales and doing other weird stuff since they started offering shipping. Maybe search for your own items to see if they pop up in your search? I’ve been wanting to do pallet flips too but haven’t yet. 🤷🏼♀️
It's a shame, between that and sponsored posts now it's so difficult to find what you're actually looking for! Even after filtering to just local and max price
People don't want to pay anything that the could get at a sale. Your video confirms my thoughts as you get 40% or less of the value. People get gifts the don't want. I think these would work at a flea market. It also takes longer.
I think there are phone apps for both iphone and adroid where you can scan the bar code and the info will come up on the item including the retail value. That at least makes the research part possible and maybe allows you to scan a few while still on the pallet before you buy it.
Sad that you knocked the pressure cooker. I love mine!! They actually save a lot of money because they transform cheap ingredients like dried beans and tougher cuts of meat into delicious meals and they use way less electricity/ gas because they cook high and fast which is why they’re popular in poorer countries/ places that use gas.
Haha that's awesome whatta blast its exciting like christmas and you guys are both into doing this makes it more awesome I'm watching it on you tube on my tv I never knew Amazon did these things im a Amazon junkie and they seem to impress me with surprises all the time there bigger than I thought and a whole lot of fun you guys are just having a.blast i can definitely relate to! 😁♥️
Try parting out the items, specifically those you can’t sell because of broken or damaged. Similar to the Nespresso part you purchased. People pay good money for parts. It does require more trips to the mail center, but you can actually make more then you 40% on a single item.
I know for me there's no way I would buy higher end "brand new" appliances thru marketplace, as when you buy through a retailer you have some form of warranty /guarantee. Love your videos though!
Absolutely loved watching this! Some of my followers want me to attempt pallet flipping and I have to admit I'm not keen.. Really enjoyed how real you guys kept it in this video!
I think it would be interesting to see a Target pallet! I have watched others who have done super well. I was almost all in for trying a pallet until I have seen both of your videos I’m afraid now 😂
Looking up completed listings on eBay is a much better way of gauging the value of these types of items. It will also help you manage your expectations, so you don't come away so disappointed, and also so that you may price things accordingly so that they sell quicker. Good video.
@@joedunn4820 when you do an eBay search, on the left side of the search results are a rather comprehensive list of filtering options. Scroll way down to where it says "show only" and you should see filter options for "completed listings" and "sold items". You can even do this through the phone app, so it's very handy.
Do you guys think in the future you'll try furniture flipping that has more restoration aspects? Like sanding down and re-staining a dresser/night stands or painting something? Would love to see how much you guy could make off that and if the profit is worth the time! I recently picked up a free velvet granny rocker/recliner chair to rip the skirt off to flip but the base has a wooden circle attached to it...so it may be more work that your flips. Worth a shot anyway!
Have you thought of using Pirate Ship shipping? It cus out the middle man and shipping through the post office and UPS is a lot cheaper than using directly. You can have the post office pick up when they drop off your mail at no cost. I have used this for over two years and it's the best.
Hey guys! Liked & Subscribed! FB has a new algorhythm, even I have noticed sales on FB have changed. I even wrote to them about it. FYI, you can sell damaged items / broken microwaves etc. If you list on ebay what u found wrong with it & it's a "Parts ONLY" sale, you will be surprised what ppl buy for parts!
So I just started selling clothing from thrift stores with shipping on marketplace. Everything went pretty quickly, I have not tried eBay. I have thought about Mercari
My tips for flipping pallets: 1. Avoid the jungle website returns. 2. Never buy untested customer returns for more then 25% of retail delivered. 3. Assume you will average 45% of retail on items you sell. 4. Be patient
This may not be related to this video because you are on autoplay over here! 😆 ...but you both are so creative! Do you have room to make and store a "backdrop" for your furniture items that are too heavy to bring inside? I have seen so many artistic ideas using PVC piping with a multitude of textures that may work for a good staged photo. 😊
I'm just getting into this and the website I use tells you exactly what's in the pallet all you have to do hope they work if electronic or r in good condition.
i assume your profit took into account your shipping cost and materials? Also i would be curious how much profit was from Facebook market place vs eBay. I bought my first "pallet" of industrial items and so far i am just shy of making my money back. it does take longer to get these items sold. Also i have had to sell only on eBay because of the nature of the items. Thanks for your video!
I like your content!! This is what I do. Most people who have no idea how to fix items, or how to trouble shoot items should not do this. Also, it's an okay side gig but keep in mind how many hours it takes to list, pack, ship, ebay fees, or meet people to sell local.

Where do you sell? Ebay, marketplace ? At what %vm retail value?

EBay is a lot more work, but seems better for more specialized hobby items like golf clubs.
It was fun watching you, though.
Great idea! Looking forward to an update!
I used to sell and buy on FB marketplace but have stopped because it is now flooded with shipping sites. It used to be where you could easily sell or buy locally but now it seems to be more commercial retail. Also it is taxed.

Soooo agree! Folks better have some storage space. My wife and I bought an outdoor shed for storage.
Looks like fun, might try it once I retire and have time to deal with it

Hey Jamie & Sarah! I am curious to know what microphone you guys use to capture the audio in your videos? (it's excellent!) Thanks for all of your great content! :P

Hope the best for you. my wife and I have a pallet coming in soon.
Thank you for this! I want to try this but am afraid I will give up and my husband will be irritated it took over the garage.

A good lesson for us though! Don’t risk it unless you are willing to lose it or at least wait on the profit to return.
Haha it was stressful! Glad to have sold a majority of the items 😊
Back to comment..:) I'm glad that you made your money back, question, would you guys flip pallets again? Thank you.
We probably wouldn’t do it again unless we could come across a Target furniture pallet. Even then we will need some time to recover 😂
@@JAMIEANDSARAH Yeah, I think furniture are better than the ones you just got.
