Thanks for sharing the reality of being an online seller. It's so important that people wanting to try this for the first time have a realistic idea of the ups and downs.
Sometimes companies that stage houses will use broken monitors and TVs because they do not need to be on for photos and there is less risk if they get stolen.
I’m sorry this pallet was a loss - but honestly I so appreciate seeing the reality of pallet purchasing - I think it is so glamorized and that sucks me in! Glad you guys are there to show the reality - they aren’t always home runs.
That house. That pool. Is life. I would never want to leave the house. The awesome memories to be made in that back part of the house. Great barbecue area.
YES!! Sell the parts that aren't broken, sometimes parts go for a bigger price than the item all together. (mounts, cords, etc) People even buy broken monitors for parts
I’ve spent most of the summer at habitat for humanity scrapping unsellable household items. I would be more than happy to show you how to break those down.
Hey guys I want to thank you for keeping this real. It takes a lot of guts to get on and face the world saying well , we got took on this 1. I know that is just part of the business but it really sucks I understand. I also wanted to say that Walmart speaker system. I have that exact same system in my Apartment right now. And I love it. I've got the 2 satellite speakers on the wall behind me. And then the soundbar mounted I'm on top of above the TV on the wall. Because I couldn't put my TV on the wall. Because I couldn't find the studs. But I'll tell you what it sounds fantastic. It's really cool to be sitting listening to a football game and here in the crowd , cheer behind you
HI Jamie And Sarah, I just want you all to know that I really enjoy watching you all and I think you all are very talented what you all do ....keep up the great work !
I want to dido what most others are saying. I’m sorry that the gamble didn’t pan out but I appreciate sharing the truth about pallet buying. I have bought lots of stuff from liquidation warehouses and I simply 50% of the stuff to be junk.
Always love the tips y'all give.....I would Do a bundle of the Non-working Monitors and sell them to a Computer Fix person...you May not Get much BUT It's better than Zero...I know my Son is a IT Person in his career and he Fixes monitors and other stuff relating to Computers...hope this helps...Electronics are Always a Gamble especially when you never know how it's been handled during shipping or Someone who was Upset thier purchase didn't turn on 😂❤
I can’t do auctions, I know I should set my limit before bidding and stick to it but the thrill of the chase kicks in and I leave all my sense behind! Xx
I do commercial auctions in the UK (buyer not seller) and people forget the little key things like buyers premium and Vat (sales tax) and end up paying more than the item costs new
I just started buying .. from GRPL as well so nice to see this place in random videos. I have found out out of the 8 carpet cleaners I have got 8 were used.. one time use on most, missing pieces water in the tank and then one extremely used and gross unit. I no longer count them as a product to count on to get money back. granted they were 200 plus dollar units for half of them its still a let down to see every type of one product always used.
I think you could totally sell the higher end broken monitors for parts. You should try to make sure the actual screen itself is in good shape. The screen itself is expensive and people are always looking for good screens.
Love to watch your channel. Both of you are so positive and genuine. Thank you for what you do. And I was just curious what kind of camera are you wearing on the video that you’re filming when you bought the $1350 electronics pallet
I think the last two monitors were display models, hence the dust and the fact that there were two different models in one box. I say this as I bought a TV display and there was a lot of dust on it. Plus you would miss stand, cords and/or remotes. Just a thought.
Quick question are the pallets you get to sell maybe faster once you go to a flea market and get a table and put all the stuff on it and see how much you get you know everybody’s at the flea market
You can totally sell the monitors for parts. The problem with those MSI curved monitors is that they were in the middle of the pallet. The weight on top would have busted it if it wasn't busted already.
Borken monitors can still be sold for "parts and repair." You won't get as much for them, and may sit on them longer, but people will get them, even with a broken screen if the rest is fine.
Also the broken electronics you can take apart and sell the chip boards. They have small amounts of precious metals in them. I think Padnos buys them. Also the wires contain copper which is $3.00/lb right now. So if you strip it you can get the bare prices for it. Or you can sell the unstripped wire as well for significantly less money.
I think electronics are hard because they break. Or if you're like me and don't know enough about them you don't realize that they are the older model, not as great of specs, and people don't want those. They are usually heavily discounted even by the brand or manufacturer.
How you end up with items that aren't supposed to be in the box they are in, it should be when you return something to amazon the place you drop it off at has to make sure its the right item and they deal with shipping it back for you (don't have to pay for a box if its needed) so people returning there old things won't happen anymore. This has been a thing for about a year where I live so wonder when it will happen everywhere cause guessing places still don't have that set in place.
I'm in my 50s and when I was a kid in the early 80s my Grandma got an iron for Christmas. Opened the box and it was someone's old ancient iron from like the 60s or earlier!
Sell all of the busted computer screens for parts. Definitely if you have busted MSI, and if the Acer didn’t work. Those are the brands gamers look for. Maybe even computer repair stores would be interested in them
Explain the title Jamie. You didn't pay thousands, and if you get more as you paid than you make a profit, so you didn't loose. True it might be much less as expected, but I do not see how that constitute losing thousands. And broken stuff, isn't there some sort of repair shop or whatever in town ?? If so ask them if it is worth repairing, or if they want it for spare parts in case of the latter yu might be able to sell it to them, in case of the first reduced sales price FB marketplace. Less profit is still profit.
If you're looking to get rid of the damaged electronics, instead of putting them directly into a landfill, maybe consider donating them to a "Rage Room". They can use them as destructible property. MANY people would LOVE to take a sledge hammer to a monitor.
Hi, I am local ro your area. We also sell stuff. Sometimes pallet items and sometimes brand new items. We are a part of a group you may be interested in more information let me know. We can chat about it.
you should never buy 2nd hand gaming anything unless you know they are perfect and work gamers get angry and throw stuff my mate repairs the stuff they destroy all the time you wont believe how many Xboxes and PlayStation with FIFA as the last game played on get damaged 😆😆
@@JAMIEANDSARAHSounds like some people want their money back for what they paid…oh wait a sec! They didn’t pay, this video was FREE to watch (or not watch)! Silly people 🤦♀️
The thumbnail and title of this video is super misleading and I don’t appreciate dishonesty like that. You only paid $1300, so no, you didn’t lose THOUSANDS, and you certainly didn’t lose $5000 like the thumbnail implies. Just be honest
Thanks for watching! Watch our full pallet flipping playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PL-DxGggo9JMI3tKfAPdlDcKPFuafI2fZc.html
D0 u sell pallets untouched

It’s not all sunshine and rainbows! ☀️ 🌈
I also appreciate your transparency. Plus, y'all are just so darn adorable together! 😊

Absolutely sell off parts.

Appreciate the hard work. More often than not I watch you folks turn a nice profit. This video is just as educational as the rest. Thanks for sharing.

Hi guy’s! Thanks for your HONESTY! Always Love to see when you have a new video!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
I like watching you guys test items. its cool to see how much of the pallet works and doesn't work

I have a Tinico floor cleaner and love it.
Thanks for being honest and real. Better luck next time. ❤

liking and commenting to recoup some of that lost money hahaha but also thank you for sharing and sorry for the loss! best of luck next time!
That's rough, I'm happy that it doesn't usually happen to you. Thanks for sharing.
I think you could totally sell the higher end broken monitors for parts. You should try to make sure the actual screen itself is in good shape. The screen itself is expensive and people are always looking for good screens.
Bummer! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Love your shirt Jamie!
What happens to the broken monitors? Do you have to pay an electronics disposal fee?
Yeah that's why I have given up on liquidations. Great success with retail and online arbitrage with eBay and Amazon.
Question for items that are broken like tvs and other electronics do you guys sell the cords and attachments as parts?
Great question! We know people who do this but we personally don’t feel like it’s worth our time.
Monitors are hard because they can break so easily. 😢 Thanks for sharing the good and the bad!
Love to watch your channel. Both of you are so positive and genuine. Thank you for what you do. And I was just curious what kind of camera are you wearing on the video that you’re filming when you bought the $1350 electronics pallet
We bought a mini pallet one time that had 12 items on it and 9 of them were broken. Losses definitely happen when you’re buying return pallets.
Sorry you guys lost on this one 😢 win some and lose some . But on a positive note the back yard is looking great ! You guys did such a good job 👍🏼
Thanks so much! We appreciate the kind words!
The higher end monitors sometimes sell for parts. Also pallets with monitors are always a shot in the dark.
I love the auctions from our pallet place. It’s a bit of an addiction, but now I have too much stuff to sell lol.
I think the last two monitors were display models, hence the dust and the fact that there were two different models in one box. I say this as I bought a TV display and there was a lot of dust on it. Plus you would miss stand, cords and/or remotes. Just a thought.
Ahh interesting. I bet you are right! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Just wondering where you lost thousands since you spent 1350 and may recoup some?
It was such a bummer to see that the MSI monitors were broken! MSI is a great brand too.
😭

That is the reality!! The money is made on volume and perseverance! Thanks for your honest review!
☺
Where can I buy your items
Love your videos!
So much fun!!
What model was that LG monitor 2. Also I've been burned a lot on monitors lately
Also the broken electronics you can take apart and sell the chip boards. They have small amounts of precious metals in them. I think Padnos buys them. Also the wires contain copper which is $3.00/lb right now. So if you strip it you can get the bare prices for it. Or you can sell the unstripped wire as well for significantly less money.
I doubt they are going to spend 2 hours stripping a pound of copper wire for $3.
I've heard remotes sell well?
Are you guys going to Flipcon in North Carolina?
Yes all the broken ones
how do I find your listings of what you are selling?
The higher end monitors take them apart and sell the boards out of them as replacement parts.
Bummer!! Better luck next time guys!!
Sometimes the HP power brick can have value.
tfs ... good info
These curved monitors are much more prone to damage than the flat ones, just FYI. So many more returns.

Very true! We won’t be doing it again 😞
Microcenter carries the MSI brand if that helps.

good luck - not sure how anyone could know if all pieces are in a package, if it works, etc...time consuming....
MSI is a very good brand.
Try and scrap some of the metals for money from the tec stuff that is broken
You're in your pool and there was lightning off in the distance?? 😶🌫 😵💫 🤯 😳 ⛈
Aww, bummer. But I still enjoy your commentary. Always entertaining.
Hey from Ukraine!
People will buy for parts like 10.00 each
Sell the Monitor Mainboard electronics for parts. For the cracked screens.
See if they are within warranty and claim it to the manufacturer
Sell all of the busted computer screens for parts. Definitely if you have busted MSI, and if the Acer didn’t work. Those are the brands gamers look for. Maybe even computer repair stores would be interested in them

Seems LCD are fragile. Maybe they can't be stacked.
You guys are so cute when you do math 😂😂
They remind me of storage wars a lot.
sell them for screens or parts
So cute to see how the sponsorship section ended up looking considering the weather 👏❤️
Wonderful 👗 😊😊😊
Love from India brother

Sell anything you have that's broken. I love buying broken items.
Sorry guys. I want to do a return pallet. Just for fun. Can't talk hubby into it. Yet! ❤
You should partner up with a TH-cam electronic fixer😅
Cornerstone math 😂
that sucks
It’s ok, it’s part of it!
That'll happen when you play the lottery.
Watching Jamie's sad face 😭😭

How did you lose thousands if you only paid $1350?
you should never buy 2nd hand gaming anything unless you know they are perfect and work gamers get angry and throw stuff my mate repairs the stuff they destroy all the time you wont believe how many Xboxes and PlayStation with FIFA as the last game played on get damaged 😆😆
😂😂😂😂😂
How can you lose thousands when you only paid $1350? You cant lose more than you paid
We would have made a couple thousand profit but didn’t even break even
The title was misleading and the thumbnail was outright dishonest
@@JAMIEANDSARAHSounds like some people want their money back for what they paid…oh wait a sec! They didn’t pay, this video was FREE to watch (or not watch)! Silly people 🤦♀️
I think you only lost hundreds not thousands. Math
Please stop saying mystery box. It’s annoying. Obviously if you don’t know what is in it it’s a mystery.
Clickbait title. Lost hundreds, not Thousands…
The title says you lost "thousands" on a pallet. Unless your mathmagician wife did the math, you didn't lose anything on that pallet. Misleading.
The thumbnail and title of this video is super misleading and I don’t appreciate dishonesty like that. You only paid $1300, so no, you didn’t lose THOUSANDS, and you certainly didn’t lose $5000 like the thumbnail implies.
Just be honest
how do i find you on facebook? I am local in Gr and would love to support you!
