The thing I don't like about these unclaimed/returned merch unboxings is that people always quote full retail as the value, and we all know you ain't gettin' full retail for this stuff! So thanks for mentioning that you're going to follow up with actual values in the next video. I'll be waiting for that one.
Generally this sort of stuff sells "slowly" but for 75% or so of retail. It depends on how much work they want to put in listing and piecing out/parting out the damaged and partials. They will break even pretty easy, but that will cherry pick the easy to sell stuff out. Profits gonna take much longer to trickle in. You can't make a living off two pallets, you have to do 2 every month. ITs the same for all these types of pallet, regardless of category. Its fairly easy to break even, if you do all the work to photograph and list all the items. If you could get anything close to retail for everything easily the company would have done it themselves. Market prices are driven by the "easy return value." What sucks is the stuff that is high value but low turnover. I have stuff that has been on e-Bay forever that is worth too much to toss but not enough to discount much more. How many Ducati riders are there out there that 1) do all their own work and 2) are cutting corners on the kits enough to buy of secondary markets and 3) want that kit? If it was easy to dump it wouldn't be on the pallet.
@@katherynscleaning5807 issue is trolls will make new ebay accounts and "buy" products and will never pay so they have to relist the item. This might not happen but it happened last time they sold a bike on TH-cam.
I have to say, you guys have single handedly gotten me wanting to get a bike again. I’m planning on getting one after my upcoming deployment, can’t decide just what I want yet. But I know you guys have been the catalyst to getting me back riding!
A large box, full of smaller boxes, which when you open, also contain some even smaller, tiny boxes, which actually hold the micro sized boxes of the actual product… rubber washers
how is it he got a pallet of normal, actually good stuff? these pallets always are just random misc stuff nobody ever wanted so they sat unsold in some warehouse
Keep those helmets to give out when you give away bikes xD But yeah, the only bike i own is a downhill bike, not a motorbike of any sorts. I just generally don't have the money to do these stupidly expensive tests over here in the uk, let alone to actually buy a fairly decent bike.
As a old timer Bike rider at 73 years old and wishing I could afford a working motorcycle, I love watching your videos Keep up the great content! I am one of those in the cant afford one category. But still enjoy watch. Be safe and God bless you and your crew.
I started watching almost 2 years ago, before I got my first bike. Your content is absolutely amazing. As a fellow biker, and someone who like to buy and resell stuff, this pallet video might be my favorite so far!! I tell anyone who will listen to me to go watch your channel. Keep it up, you’ve taught me a lot!
I remember my Dad was a Motorcycle nut like me. He had a old Indian motorcycle with a side car yellow in color I he kept it in a Indian shop where he worked. Said he was screaming down an old country road poped over a hill and plowed into a Hurd of turkeys. Stoped in a filing station to clean up and the attendant looked at him in horror with him covered in blood and guts, but he was just fine stinging a bit from the incident. I lover how he could tell his stories. Take care and be safe.
I love that you’re working towards getting more people on bikes! I’m part of the group that doesn’t have a bike haha but watching your videos the last couple years, I’ve been looking for one! Love your content!
I am going to refer and have family buy as many shavers as I can. I had to sell my bikes to care for my sick son as well as become my sisters guardian after our mom passed away. She has cerebral palsy and I obviously would never ever leave her side for anything. That said, I miss my weekend cruises or even just washing my bike and taking it to work. There is a certain peace about riding that I miss very much. Maybe seeing this video is my way to have a chance at riding again. Good luck everyone, let's try to get the W on this. Even if I didnt win, it would be awesome to know that I helped someone else get a bike.
Beginner rider here! Had my endorsement for 4 hrs now but have never been able to afford a bike! But now for the first time in my life I’m in a position where I can probably buy my first motorcycle! However, I can really only afford a cheap preowned beater bike to start with. Yet that’s not my dream bike. My dream bike is a Ducati Scrambler black Icon with red tank panels that has “Ducati“ etched in white. (Preferably 2020 or newer so it comes with the gear indicator on the display screen. And definitely all the crash bars and protectors). I truly want this for my first motorcycle. I want this to be the motorcycle that I invest in so that I can keep it in my garage for a long time to come. I want this to be the motorcycle that I care for and value, and not the beater motorcycle that I trash then pass on.
Hello I’ve been watching you guys for prob the past year. I’m 44 years old and have been on dirt bike my whole life. Has always been a big passion of mine, I love the looks and ride style of the buel. But you are incredibly very inspirational to me and everyone that gets the privilege to watch or know you
I looked at a Buel blast that had been sitting for a while researching it though said they were hit or miss for dependability. I love my duel sport Honda though.
Hey Tyler, yeah I'm 47, rode mx my whole life. Could ride my Honda 50z before I could ride a pedal bike. Just switched to street bikes a couple years ago. I love dirt bikes and loved riding with my son. My recovery time has greatly increased from a weekend at the track and plus my sin was getting close to being able to keep up, so it was a tough decision to move on to something else.
@@_Yep_Yep_ yep. I think they’re hand made. Took around 8 months to get it. It’s literally under 500g. No lights, no bolts, nothing. Just carbon fibre and painted. I don’t ride it anymore. It’s in the man cave.
THAT is the kicker.......I've watched a LOT of amazon return pallet videos etc and while there IS value there, it's extremely time consuming to get rid of all the stuff. Not just the handling, but photographing and listing them on ebay or kijiji or craig's list.
@@muskokamike127 yes, it’s a lot of work taking photos, posting ads, getting boxes, packing and printing labels, going to the post office! The thrill of opening that pallet wears off quickly.
7 year Cycle Gear employee here! What you're going through is some of our online returns that we couldn't redeem sellable as brand new condition. Those skus are comotos skus. Basically Revzilla, Cycle Gear and J&P products. Great find, you'll be surprised at what we throw away!
Man, my family has fallen on tough times, so I sold my old Harley just a few weeks ago. It was a 2004 softail, red and silver. I had intended on keeping it forever, so I rebuilt the bottom end with s&s parts (timken bearings, 509 cams, cam plate, hi-flo oil pump, hydraulic tensioners) last spring. Honestly, I didn’t ride it much in the 5 years it was mine, but I sure do miss it. That little 88ci wasn’t much to brag about, but it still cruised around alright. Figured I’d post this here and join the many others who regret getting rid of their machines. You gotta do what you gotta do I guess! 👍
Your channel is awesome. Love what you do for people that ride. I love to ride but unfortunately I cant even afford a vehicle. The inflation has costed me everything. But god has a plan and this is part of it. Keep it up my dream is to hang out and ride with you and Craig that man is special.
@@lasskinn474 hahha ave is bad ass.....I haven't bought one yet, they aren't available in Canada but I will one day own a bosch nano chainsaw. Not because I need one, but damn everyone should have one! hahahaha
Probably depends on return policies. Some companies do a field destroy rather than sending the item back to the manufacturer. I used to work at Home Depot and some stuff that got returned usually got thrown away even it it looked brand new.
Yeah that's the thing. You now have a lot of random stuff flying around. Now you need to put in the work taking pictures, listing everything for a price that it actually sells and ship it.
I love this channel Sean keep doing what you do. You inspire me with your bible verses and to every day to keep riding my bike! Bless you and have an amazing Friday!
I love your channel. With them pushing for the hire of all these new IRS agents, please be careful, bro. This is the kind of stuff they'll be looking for to audit you and others. You're legit, we know that. There are alot of TH-camrs that are going to get audited if this goes through. Stay on your Ps & Qs. Thanks for the great content and spiritual messages.
One thing about returns to know is that the vast majority of manufacturers don't even actually take the returned items back. Actually taking custody of returned items back means that they have to pay for full return shipping, labor hours dealing with the returned merchandise, and then actually having to store them somewhere, while knowing that there is a very very high chance of something being wrong with the items preventing easy re-sale. It is easier to just eat the cost of it all, give/sell the merchandise to a pallet re-sale company, and then just focus on the actual main business processes. This is why Amazon has taken their return process to partnering with local brick and mortar stores. The brick and mortar stores(such as Kohl's) ensure that at least the right box is being returned, and then they just ship it off to one of the companies that do the pallet re-sale by bulk, which have a contract with Amazon to buy the returns by weight.
basicly its worth atleast 50% of there new price if its still new. so i would assume you can get between 65% till 75% of the retail price on the new stuff and 50% if its a bit used/damaged so you be looking at like 30k resell value at best, probaly 25k reasonable
I did this (huge lots) thirty years ago. Now people understand why I was taking a risk at 2-3 cents on the dollar. Some was just junk, much was unsalable, and the good stuff had to be deeply discounted to move it out the door. Pay $3,000 for $100,000 of merch, pay for a big dumpster to throw away 25% of the stuff. Catagorize, and inventory, establish high prices to start moving it out the door while continually dropping prices to keep the sales moving. What was left over could be sold for almost nothing to surplus dealers which offered the advantage of them coming to get it instead of paying for yet another dumpster. A lot of work for average wages.
I would love to get a bike again, but the funds just are not happening, my last bike was a Chinese 230cc Off Road (dirt bike) rode that thing on four long distance trips around trips of 700km. I was broke so I had to sell it.
Yall got lucky AF....These liquidation pallets used to be so good...now everyone's caught on and anyone with half a brain can value most of the product on a pallet off 5 pics(one of each side and the top) alone so theyre usually full of trash
I wear size 28 and just so happen to need a new pair of riding pants lol. Great video brother. And I'm glad you made out with profitable with the pallets
I have bought pallets before and the value they give at purchase or at auction is way over priced. They do it to make the sale or to raise the bidding at a auction. How they come up with the numbers is no matter the condition of the items they put a value of the item brand new full retail price at time of manufacture not the price of something out of manufacturing or price if it is damaged.
I don't even have a driver's license for a bike. When I was 18, the year you could get a driver's license here, i wanted to get both, bike and car license. I went to a friend, who owned a bike, and got into leather and all. Got onto his bike, to get a feel. Turned on the motor, and felt the power of the Bandit under me. And I instantly got flashes, that this would be the way, I die. Ending up in a tree or something similar. I got off the bike, never ever touched one again. Still awesome feel
Honestly it dose get hard sometimes to keep your bikes on the road I have 2 kids and my job is very demanding iv just had to sell my pride and joy iv been longing for the day I can’t have another bike and it’s not the bike that matters it’s the ride the feeling of absolute freedom there not to much else I can think of that brings you to that natural high you get when cruising through some smooth angled corners you’ve inspired me to start building my own bike in the near future thanks Sean.
I know, from working inside a motorcycle shop, with multiple shops throughout the countries, for many years, that a lot of products get send in between shops to refill stock throughout all store locations. That might be why you're finding all these random stuff in helmet boxes lol.
It's been over 30 years since I last rode a bike. Thinking about a commuter, since my F-150 only gets 15 mpg. So yeah, I'm one of the "over 40%". When you unbox a bike from 1982, I watch and say, that bike is newer than all three of the bikes I've owned. LOL
Looking forward to your next adventures Noraly! As a fellow biker and gold exploration drill systems engineer in a few countries you passed through, I have enjoyed your blogs and knowledge where ever you went. Put Ireland on your next trip!
I used to have a 2013 Street Bob. Till a guy in a pickup truck ran a stop sign and hit me, totaled the bike, I still can’t walk for 5 more weeks!! I will get another bike!!! Hopefully!! Lol awesome vid! By the way, I was wearing my M1 Moto gloves and they are still absolutely perfect!! 🦿💯🦾
There's a lot of rich wannabe jackass Millennials that attempt to do videos like this and they drive me up the wall but this Bikes & Beards guy's videos are always on point...
My guess is about 13k when you try to re sell this. Most of the helmets are worthless or just won't sell due to being used/other. The ducati crate is where the money is at.
just bought my "brand new bike". been off two wheels for about 15 years.... Royal Enfield 650, very happy with it... for the price its awsome... P.S. my first bike was a 1800 vtwin m109 PPS dont buy a 1800 Vtwin m109 as a first bike.! :) Love the vids...here in the UK! 😁
This is freaking awesome!!!! You are a amazing man Sean!!!! I have a moped but I’ve been aching to get a motorcycle. Hopefully we can get you to number one!!!
If you give them a bike, make them take the rider safety course before they ride it. Best investment a new rider can make. It's not cool, but they won't wear the road on their first ride.
Funny you should mention, who wears a 5x helmet. I just had an epic crash and now have to replace my 5x helmet. They are not that easy to find. I was riding the back roads of New Hampshire went into a sharp right corner. Half way into the corner, someone had spilled gravel and left it. Due to a broken foot, I will not be riding again until Spring. The bike is in the process of being replaced. If your 5x helmet is on the market, I would be interested.
Icon needs to take a hint from this video: a lot of people buy airflites (like me) because the look awesome but they're only available in narrow oval and don't fit anybody
I'm a teacher in Arizona, I also then have to deliver pizza. So, I don't have a motorcycle. I miss having one, my last one was a 650 suzuki I had for 19 years.
Here’s why I don’t have a bike anymore… watched a dude get stupid and whack a car, I’ll just say it was messy and he didn’t make it. I put my bike up for sale that day. Yes he was flying but that car pulled out infront of him. So my 2014 harley breakout, with aftermarket wheels, chain conversion, intake, exhaust, LED lights, and 1200 miles… sold it within 4 days
Unclaimed freight can also be when the frieght is to be picked up from the shipper or from the airport and its never gets claimed.. theres a waiting period for this but i forget. Probably not for the shipper thou.
I worked for a rather large customs brokerage company that cleared shipments through CBP for Ducati that were heading for dealers and suppliers. Ducati shipments were a nightmare to classify because they usually contained what seemed like every product they offer. And I mean everything from branded golf club covers to the most specific engine part. If you see unclaimed Ducati stock imports then it will usually pay off well.
Been watching you for years. Getting a bike has been my dream since I was a kid but lately it was something in the back of my head until my little brother jumped the gun and got one. And I saw a deal that was too good to pass up and got my own.
The problem with selling crap from PA with free shipping is 99% of the buyers will be from the west coast probably so it’s gonna cost you more than you’d like. Whenever I sell something on eBay and the buyer isn’t from CA, I get excited 😂
Was in a motorcycle accident July 23rd. Been riding for 6 years with no previous accidents. Broke my humorous bone, collar bone, 3 ribs and shattered me shoulder socket. 12 hour surgery and 7 plates later I’m on the road to recovery. It’s been a struggle of mine whether or not to keep riding. Hopped back on the other day and it felt good. Time will tell I guess
I bought a skid load of unclaimed auto parts for my shop, one box was supposed to have a camshaft inside but it had a kids aluminum bat and box looked like it had never been opened.
I'm a disabled mechanic hoping to get a bike soon so I can take my brothers ashes and do some traveling like he was wanting to do before he passed away last year.
Take the cheapest item in that box and have Sean and Craig sign it. It would become priceless.
I second this idea lol
I agree!
It would become worth bitcoins
yea

Catagorize, and inventory, establish high prices to start moving it out the door while continually dropping prices to keep the sales moving. What was left over could be sold for almost nothing to surplus dealers which offered the advantage of them coming to get it instead of paying for yet another dumpster.
A lot of work for average wages.
Not a rider sadly, live in the UK.
Great content and fantastic energy well done all
man that many boxes , its like birhtday presents for a whole town.
I love the tangent stories! just as fun to watch as shows on the bikes they do
I would love to get a bike again, but the funds just are not happening, my last bike was a Chinese 230cc Off Road (dirt bike) rode that thing on four long distance trips around trips of 700km. I was broke so I had to sell it.
Yall got lucky AF....These liquidation pallets used to be so good...now everyone's caught on and anyone with half a brain can value most of the product on a pallet off 5 pics(one of each side and the top) alone so theyre usually full of trash
I wear size 28 and just so happen to need a new pair of riding pants lol. Great video brother. And I'm glad you made out with profitable with the pallets
I have bought pallets before and the value they give at purchase or at auction is way over priced.
They do it to make the sale or to raise the bidding at a auction.
How they come up with the numbers is no matter the condition of the items they put a value of the item brand new full retail price at time of manufacture not the price of something out of manufacturing or price if it is damaged.
That's so awesome! Also I love that you insert bible verses ,one of the reasons I started watching you guys....keep it up fellas
I don't even have a driver's license for a bike.
When I was 18, the year you could get a driver's license here, i wanted to get both, bike and car license.
I went to a friend, who owned a bike, and got into leather and all. Got onto his bike, to get a feel. Turned on the motor, and felt the power of the Bandit under me.
And I instantly got flashes, that this would be the way, I die. Ending up in a tree or something similar.
I got off the bike, never ever touched one again.
Still awesome feel
Honestly it dose get hard sometimes to keep your bikes on the road I have 2 kids and my job is very demanding iv just had to sell my pride and joy iv been longing for the day I can’t have another bike and it’s not the bike that matters it’s the ride the feeling of absolute freedom there not to much else I can think of that brings you to that natural high you get when cruising through some smooth angled corners you’ve inspired me to start building my own bike in the near future thanks Sean.
Dose it? How does it work with the dosage
I know, from working inside a motorcycle shop, with multiple shops throughout the countries, for many years, that a lot of products get send in between shops to refill stock throughout all store locations. That might be why you're finding all these random stuff in helmet boxes lol.
I love it Sean and Craig I knew what Bible verse you were going to pull before you even did it today great minds think alike
6:45 - You will not get retail on any of this stuff, so if you paid $10k, the retail value might be $12k but you'll only net $6-$7k.
Would love to get another bike sold my bike last November to make sure that my wife and kids had a good Christmas
Love it when youtubers act like they are going to get full retail value, while IRL they'll be happy to get even 10% of that.
It's been over 30 years since I last rode a bike. Thinking about a commuter, since my F-150 only gets 15 mpg. So yeah, I'm one of the "over 40%". When you unbox a bike from 1982, I watch and say, that bike is newer than all three of the bikes I've owned. LOL
I had an original honda 150 elite scooter once. now only bicycles. but I enjoy your show
Looking forward to your next adventures Noraly! As a fellow biker and gold exploration drill systems engineer in a few countries you passed through, I have enjoyed your blogs and knowledge where ever you went. Put Ireland on your next trip!
I don't have a bike but I'd be willing to take one of those 80s motorcycles that you got new in the boxes.
Storage wars- The motorcycle edition. "This box is why I got in the business." 😄
I used to have a 2013 Street Bob. Till a guy in a pickup truck ran a stop sign and hit me, totaled the bike, I still can’t walk for 5 more weeks!! I will get another bike!!! Hopefully!! Lol awesome vid! By the way, I was wearing my M1 Moto gloves and they are still absolutely perfect!! 🦿💯🦾
There's a lot of rich wannabe jackass Millennials that attempt to do videos like this and they drive me up the wall but this Bikes & Beards guy's videos are always on point...
Brother this is the most beautiful video I have ever seen wow. Hallelujah praise God!!!
ICON Airflite :) I have one, love it... sizing is a little small.
Man, you have the coolest job ever. I guess blessings come in many forms brother.
My guess is about 13k when you try to re sell this. Most of the helmets are worthless or just won't sell due to being used/other. The ducati crate is where the money is at.
just bought my "brand new bike". been off two wheels for about 15 years.... Royal Enfield 650, very happy with it... for the price its awsome... P.S. my first bike was a 1800 vtwin m109 PPS dont buy a 1800 Vtwin m109 as a first bike.! :)
Love the vids...here in the UK! 😁
This is freaking awesome!!!! You are a amazing man Sean!!!! I have a moped but I’ve been aching to get a motorcycle. Hopefully we can get you to number one!!!
If you give them a bike, make them take the rider safety course before they ride it. Best investment a new rider can make. It's not cool, but they won't wear the road on their first ride.
Trove is from the French word to find. Random dude helping look up random trivia.
Funny you should mention, who wears a 5x helmet. I just had an epic crash and now have to replace my 5x helmet. They are not that easy to find. I was riding the back roads of New Hampshire went into a sharp right corner. Half way into the corner, someone had spilled gravel and left it. Due to a broken foot, I will not be riding again until Spring. The bike is in the process of being replaced. If your 5x helmet is on the market, I would be interested.
Icon needs to take a hint from this video: a lot of people buy airflites (like me) because the look awesome but they're only available in narrow oval and don't fit anybody
I liked this. It was like those shows where they buy the storage units….. but way better and motorcycle related 👍👍👍👍
1.49 in ,methinks you probably got screwed 🤣 😂 😳
Three trouble with this stuff is that your going to be sitting on it for ever.
I'm a teacher in Arizona, I also then have to deliver pizza. So, I don't have a motorcycle. I miss having one, my last one was a 650 suzuki I had for 19 years.
You probably paid a lot more if you consider labor to inventory all of it.
Should list it all and do a follow up to show what it actually sold for.
Here’s why I don’t have a bike anymore… watched a dude get stupid and whack a car, I’ll just say it was messy and he didn’t make it. I put my bike up for sale that day. Yes he was flying but that car pulled out infront of him. So my 2014 harley breakout, with aftermarket wheels, chain conversion, intake, exhaust, LED lights, and 1200 miles… sold it within 4 days
Looks like there's a Ducati build coming soon
The House always Wins. The Auction House that is.
Unclaimed freight can also be when the frieght is to be picked up from the shipper or from the airport and its never gets claimed.. theres a waiting period for this but i forget. Probably not for the shipper thou.
I worked for a rather large customs brokerage company that cleared shipments through CBP for Ducati that were heading for dealers and suppliers. Ducati shipments were a nightmare to classify because they usually contained what seemed like every product they offer. And I mean everything from branded golf club covers to the most specific engine part. If you see unclaimed Ducati stock imports then it will usually pay off well.
I don’t even have a motorbike licence. But love your show. I’m hoping to get one in next 6 months.. have fun!
I don’t have a bike because I am only 15 years old but I wanna get into bikes and crap. Which is why I watch your vids yo have a greater understanding
I wear I size 28😂
I’d happily buy those pants and one of the Icon helmets from you, in addition of the R6 part for my 2005!
Dude
That’s so awesome that’s heaven to me. Look at all of those parts.
The helmets prob did not fit. Open box helmets are scary I would never wear one
Just started getting into bikes but don’t have one and for 9k all these upgrades or parts u can sell and buy upgrades. I might do this In the future
Started watching, don't have a bike anymore, my first bike was the same as the 82 Ascot FT500 you unboxed... one day I'll ride again.
That was actually pretty fun…🤣🤣
Thumbs up for the buffalo handle act
Been watching you for years. Getting a bike has been my dream since I was a kid but lately it was something in the back of my head until my little brother jumped the gun and got one. And I saw a deal that was too good to pass up and got my own.
That Matthew verse was my confirmation verse!
You should have taken that 40,000$ and gave it to a War Veteran.
@hituptheprofile323 for what
The problem with selling crap from PA with free shipping is 99% of the buyers will be from the west coast probably so it’s gonna cost you more than you’d like. Whenever I sell something on eBay and the buyer isn’t from CA, I get excited 😂
I wear a size 28, thank you very much. Can’t all be perfect specimens of a man like you Craig😂
I'd buy that 5xL helmet. I've been trying to find a large enough helmet. Settled at a 4xL and she's still tight on the noggin.
Was in a motorcycle accident July 23rd. Been riding for 6 years with no previous accidents. Broke my humorous bone, collar bone, 3 ribs and shattered me shoulder socket. 12 hour surgery and 7 plates later I’m on the road to recovery.
It’s been a struggle of mine whether or not to keep riding. Hopped back on the other day and it felt good. Time will tell I guess
You ll know when the time is right but for now just heal well my friend
I bought a skid load of unclaimed auto parts for my shop, one box was supposed to have a camshaft inside but it had a kids aluminum bat and box looked like it had never been opened.
I'm a disabled mechanic hoping to get a bike soon so I can take my brothers ashes and do some traveling like he was wanting to do before he passed away last year.
