I was considering selling them to a pallet yard, and had the thought that they sell their pallets!!! Obviously for more than they would pay me! Thank you John, for the confirmation!
They are the ones who went through the shit to get the knowledge and skills that they have. That shit costs moe. You gotta pay to play or go figure it out yourself. Foh
As I am listening to this podcast, I am literally driving through an industrial area looking for which places have mountains of pallets. I've already found a few. I need John's course to teach me how to engage them now. I'm getting very excited with the thought of this business. I intend on taking this and running away with it.
It's pretty tricky finding immediate buyers for things like lightly used shipping boxes and air bags when you unexpectedly have a supplier wanting to get rid of them right away and you haven't anticipated the conundrum of immediately having to find a buyer.
@PressPause 2Play listening is fundamental. He’s been doing it for 20 years. He’s made those relationships over time it’s not a get rich quick fast method. He’s a good talker he makes it sound like unicorns and rainbows. If it was so profitable and he’s making so much money so fast he wouldn’t be putting his business model out there in a course for random people on the internet. O I pick up so many here and go 3 miles and here’s my next place blah blah blah. I start at 7:30 and I’m done by 10. I’m selling them my pallets and then I’m getting something else and just on my way home selling that stuff. Come on it’s never that easy. He’s been doing it for 20 years your not going to be able to make this happen over night
Wire wholesalers, electrical distributors, cotton fabricators, metal grinding, bolden screw manufacturers, refractory, grocery distributors and so on .... my English isn’t that good some of them I didn’t understand but they’re on the video just listen to it again
I love it! This is a great model for the average Joe, hands on types. And how great that you can just deliver freight AND get paid for the product you deliver (and even maybe get paid for receiving it).
Competition is inevitable, but apparently John's confident he's got good enough relationships with his buyers and suppliers to fend off any new local flippers.
That is small time thinking. Smart people understand that 98% of people never act on the information they learn. I could give you the business plan for any one of my businesses and even my client list and you wouldn’t even make the first phone call.
@@NickLoper You cannot be afraid of competition. Its always there. I just started diving into this side of the pallet business on the "how to's" for "knocing out 3rd graders" as John would say.
I took a principals of finance class my senior year of high school and my teacher was huge on side hustles and for our final he wanted us to come up with a side hustle and actually start up something small. I sold fidget spinners (back when that was a thing) and made $480 in profit in a week just from selling them to kids from my middle school and high-school and ever since that fad died out I’ve always wanted to do something else. Now that I’m a broke college kid, I don’t have much money to put into anything and resell it, I was looking at liquidation pallets and things of that sort but I never could really cough up the money for something like that, but then I came across recycling pallets. I never thought someone would but those things, and better yet, I know a great deal of places that have tons sitting behind their buildings. I’m currently on my last week of my first semester at college and I am going to jump on this right after my last final. This was such a great video and you just got yourself another subscriber! Hustle on!
I worked at a place that would get a huge skip in the dump the pallets into. I told them there was a charity who would take them for free cause they use them in work rehab training, and another business will buy then off you. Apparently phoning either was too much trouble because they kept paying huge money to replace the skip bin.
Yes, those types are the perfect suppliers in this business. If they're currently paying to dispose of the pallets of course they'd be happy to give them to someone for free :)
@@braylonzilner5560 they we fabricating pipe work for underground gas plants. Pieces of pipe arrived, they would bend it, reweld it, add flanges to it and paint it. Another business I've seen go through pallets are caterers of large places. Think sporting arenas, concert halls, etc. While they do get the pallets that cannot be insole, they get plenty others that can be. Another innate seen sells garden pots. I see their unwanted pallets left outside their fence, not a lot but any free pallet is a free pallet right?
The competition is very unprofessional - they are what you would call scavengers. And the odd thing is its the same everywhere, all over the planet. It is such an overlooked niche that it's terribly underserved. My job is to help you learn it the right way. Here is a good video for you to check out to help you understand. th-cam.com/video/kZHFPhDBVbQ/w-d-xo.html
@@NickLoper awesome channel, I've already started compiling a list of all pallet companies in my area, their function, the competition, the buyers, etc. Also started compiling a list of all major businesses that have pallets in my area 😎
I've been building pallets for last 3 years on piece work. But our company is losing there contracts due to price of wood they're lazy so I'm thinking about picking them up going into business for myself
Ever since learning this I’ve done a lot of research already even found a cheap trailer truck in my area and I’m lucky enough to be in the Midwest. I’m looking forward to taking the course still to learn more

@@rambow58 Thank you, Marcel. Congratulations on your growth. A few more questions if you can indulge me. 1. Did you buy his specific program? Did you find it to be worth the money or could I find similar levels of help elsewhere and more affordably? Are you at all affiliated with him? How has the program affected your business trajectory? 2. Do you think it would be fairly straightforward to move palets/drums without having a place of your own? Just moving from one business to another? 3. What up front costs should I factor in to get started?
I understand, but he did say he was contacting 30 to 50 businesses a day. Businesses start and end contracts and relationships every day. Why should the next guy (us) be any different from the last, in terms of ability to conduct commerce?
I sell timeshare and I can see a lot of my techniques being used in these videos. This dude is telling stories and you all are building a dream in your head
@@peteregan9726 it really would not like to type all of that out. But if you Google or TH-cam timeshare sales techniques you'll see a lot of it. Or any type of sales where you're selling something that isn't tangible

I would sort them you get more money or you will sort them at the yard.48"×40 #1 used but no broken boards or stringers or the stringers have a meshed plate nailed on the stringer making it a #1pallet again.sizes other less money stringers repaired with a plug a piece of a 2×4 is a#2repaired less then #1 thats your money pallets other pallets they might only pay a buck to a 1.50use that money to pay for gas.if you repair them you get more money less per hour worked more sorting and just driving them in after you sort them .
Where I work if there bad they all get stacked together, some are good just an odd size they give us $1 per pallet regardless of size unless totally broken. At this point they have no choice to take back sort scrap take to a pallet yard repair what you can? This has been my experience
@@mike_lives Exactly. His friend knew he could make money with pallets but he did not know how to build a business doing it. They were just trying to make money.
So im wondering about the 29k viewers of this video from a year ago. How many of them took advantage of this knowledge and could be my competition in my community 🤔....
It's a fair question! It seems like the easiest way to find out is to just strike up some conversations and see how businesses are currently dealing with their pallets.
Yeah that's the thing about great business ideas. The business isn't so great when the Market's flooded with tons of competition. The best stuff is the stuff you figure out yourself. Like he figured this out himself and he's already done it for 22 years so I'm sure he doesn't need to do it anymore. Hopefully they're still places left in room 4 more competition in the pallet business but just in the past few days I've seen people with cars and Pickups driving around with trailers full of pallets .I know more people are doing it now because of all these videos.
Moving all those pallets by hand = buldging disk / herniated disk Risk to reward is too high , lifting pallets over head and twisting bending throwing/ stacking up . Trust me I been recycling pallets for the past 20 years , if I didn’t have a fork lift I wouldn’t touch them .
Jeremy Adam yes I agree , normally a boral pallet is 60 pounds , a orco or angelus pallet is about 55 pounds a four way 42x40 is about 45 pounds . Once u stack them to a certain height then u have to lift them over ur head bend twist and launch it , try doing that over 2000 times .. then no matter how core rest your form is at one point ur legs will be uneven fatigue will kick in and you will start cheating and using your back. Just trying to save people from a herniated disk as I suffer from a L5-s1 hernia
@@JCharlesTheSimplestBiz He's literally grabbing and hauling empty wooden pallets? I came here looking into how to get pallets of liquidated goods (like returned or open box electronics) and then breaking those down into individual items and selling them places like ebay. Normally I thought people had to pay a couple hundred or thousands of $'s for these items in bulk, not be given to them or thrown away. Is that not what this is? This video is about literally selling empty wooden pallets? wtf
@@NickLoper a huge majority of pallets are one time use ( food , medical etc.) Thats why there is an endless supply. Tens of thousands of brand new get produced every day to fill those needs.
Do we just call up every shop in town and ask if they are getting rid of pallets? And how do we find people to buy the pallets. How much should we sell them for?
@@RelaxedHumanBeings hey joe how is it going? I’m looking to finance a f150 maybe a 2016 with around 135,000 miles. I can buy a trailer too. So who do we call how do at sell?! Any help?!
@@imrelentless9577 call local business (petsmart walmart target etc) to see if their giving away pallets or a local warehouse but sometimes they make you pay $1 a pallet sometimes
Why wouldn't the places that need the pallets just go get them for free? I mean if there are hundreds just laying around, it would be cheaper to have a truck and a low wage kid to go get them.I'm not buyin it
It definitely would be cheaper, and my guess it comes down the focus of their business and how closely concerned they are with what they probably consider a byproduct - not core to the operation. I think you’re right to be skeptical though, and through conversations with these companies I imagine you’ll get a sense for their existing processes.
@@iOWNyouFOOLaskYOmama It seems like he wasn't saying kids are stupid. It sounds like you can use your employees time to keep them focused on making you money in your core business and not going in too many directions and lose focus 🙏

This is hard work lift move stack unstack move dropoff its physically demanding and hard on the back better find some young strong help trouble is theyre not going to do this for min wage. Even with a forklift and pallet jacks you still have to mess with them. Move 50 - 100 plus a day pickup and drop off for a week it will beat you up.

@@mr.skeptical3071 Only if you're selling them to the recycling place. Companies NEED pallets, several of them. All you have to do is undercut the company's pallet supplier.
A nuisance for the business to just haul the pallets to the pallet yard themselves he says in the beginning....?????! For the money he is claiming the pallet yard paid him for the pallets the business could just hire a PT employee to make those runs for them every day for minimum wage.... This doesn't add up.
The dude said, he’s trying to fly under the radar and drive an old beat up truck so that nobody thinks he’s got money. He doesn’t want people to know about his business so he can profit off everyone. I bet that dude doesn’t even pay taxes on that $1,600 before lunch money. The government says the only thing worse than being a rich drug dealer is tax evasion. Make sure you’re straight dude.

Prices are lower in some locations. Also he is selling direct to the people who needs them not a pallet yard.
Luckily, with Bidenflation, prices are now very up.
It's pretty tricky finding immediate buyers for things like lightly used shipping boxes and air bags when you unexpectedly have a supplier wanting to get rid of them right away and you haven't anticipated the conundrum of immediately having to find a buyer.

its a 37 x 44 pine lite weight pallet. I can send you a pic if you give me your email.

@@JCharlesTheSimplestBiz He's literally grabbing and hauling empty wooden pallets? I came here looking into how to get pallets of liquidated goods (like returned or open box electronics) and then breaking those down into individual items and selling them places like ebay. Normally I thought people had to pay a couple hundred or thousands of $'s for these items in bulk, not be given to them or thrown away.
Is that not what this is? This video is about literally selling empty wooden pallets? wtf
them thick boys
The goal we should cut the use of these product in the first place
I guess that's one benefit of the flipping business - it reuses the pallets instead of requiring new ones to get made all the time.
I believe 90 percent of pallets are recycled. But to your point 60 percent of lumber is used for pallets
Lumber is a renewable resource.
@@NickLoper a huge majority of pallets are one time use ( food , medical etc.) Thats why there is an endless supply. Tens of thousands of brand new get produced every day to fill those needs.
In getting interested in this because i do it with my uncle as a sude hustle
What do you do with the repairable and the unrepairables if you take them all and are mixed in?
You can repair every pallet that can be repair and with the unrepairables you can remove all the parts and keeps only the good ones
Is there a market for plastic pallets?
There is a market for sure
What's up with the obsession with pallots....there is a company in my city...maybe I'll ask them how to start with this
My guess is they're just a product readily available that companies either need for their shipping or need to get rid of.
Do we just call up every shop in town and ask if they are getting rid of pallets? And how do we find people to buy the pallets. How much should we sell them for?
Yes. Just call, even drive to location.
Thanks this was my question and the answer I needed💯💪🏽 blessings
@@RelaxedHumanBeings hey joe how is it going? I’m looking to finance a f150 maybe a 2016 with around 135,000 miles. I can buy a trailer too. So who do we call how do at sell?! Any help?!
@@imrelentless9577 call local business (petsmart walmart target etc) to see if their giving away pallets or a local warehouse but sometimes they make you pay $1 a pallet sometimes
@@RelaxedHumanBeings ok and where do we sell them to lol
Dunnage is folded up boxes
Dunnage are actually 4x8 or 4x4 pieces of lumber to prop up long items on a flatbed so forklift can get under and lift.
Do you need dot numbers to do this?
No you do not
The only way they will guard them is if u give them money.its hard making money doing pallets
Why wouldn't the places that need the pallets just go get them for free? I mean if there are hundreds just laying around, it would be cheaper to have a truck and a low wage kid to go get them.I'm not buyin it
It definitely would be cheaper, and my guess it comes down the focus of their business and how closely concerned they are with what they probably consider a byproduct - not core to the operation. I think you’re right to be skeptical though, and through conversations with these companies I imagine you’ll get a sense for their existing processes.
You’ve never dealt with employing low wage kids have you? It’s better to pay for the convenience and focus on higher earning activities
@@jerbear7952 kids arent that stupid
@@iOWNyouFOOLaskYOmama It seems like he wasn't saying kids are stupid. It sounds like you can use your employees time to keep them focused on making you money in your core business and not going in too many directions and lose focus 🙏
Mark Ja
what im seeing there is no pallet yards close by the closest are like 100 mi.
Nuts!
Deal directly with businesses- no need for a pallet yard.
I just started this today.and I picked up 38 pallets,what's the best price if I'll sell 150 pallets to someone
I heard like $2 a pallet but I'm not sure though
Depends where you live. Some places $2, some where demand is higher $6 is highest I've heard
what happened?
Any update on how it went? How much did you end up selling them for?
I still have them im going to drop them off once a month I will let you know when the month end I have about 3 week left.
Pallet Biz could be Done, if you didn't Hope to be the Early Bird. Dude So Many Reasons it's BS....1.) The Pallet Craze DIY'er.....making Rafts, and Crafts. 2.) Drunk Pickers Grabbing 20 stacks to sell them for $2.00 a piece for a Case of Natty Ice ...3.) Not a Lot Left for a Biz.....ppl Screwed Market by Selling for Nothing........There is Hope! If You Really Want Something Bad Enough, give it a Try..........However, I Did Warn you
Easy money 💵
Do you do this, Nick?
I don’t get how this will work sounds like a scam. Truckers and stores work together and reuse the pallets. So who is going to be buy pallets ?
Yes, it does work. And I can even share how) palletguy8@gmail.com

Do you need a business permit to do it ?
💯👍
Just curious if anyone has tried this?
I recently connected with one of John’s students in this video: How to Resell Used Pallets for Profit: $1,000 a DAY Flipping Pallets w/ Simplest Biz Course Student

What if a person is selling the Blue Chep Pallets? Is this legal? The man makes thousands of dollars off of them year after year.
Is illegal to selling the blue chip when can to the jail !!!
@@jeanquintana1363 Now try that in a complete and coherent sentence.
How much is the course?
$1800
@Henry Jackson I saw another video about him on JT Hustler. And he actually mention the price.
This is hard work lift move stack unstack move dropoff its physically demanding and hard on the back better find some young strong help trouble is theyre not going to do this for min wage. Even with a forklift and pallet jacks you still have to mess with them. Move 50 - 100 plus a day pickup and drop off for a week it will beat you up. Youll need lot of good help and pay them well - its just like moving furniture.. Hope your help shows back up next day,
@@RawDeneWar some people can't walk or lift I understand his point of view and your good for you as well if you can do it
I am 54 years old... I do not lift these products. I show you how to have fork lift drivers fighting to load your truck or trailer. Here is a link and you will see me out in the field standing around as my pallets are being lifted. I can teach you all of this in the training - thesimplestbizforu.com Link to youtube channel - th-cam.com/channels/cX_EXPfEA7CJbUk0G8S2HA.htmlvideos?view_as=subscriber
@@RawDeneWar these people are homos lol wanna make money but don't want to work for it. I know some people that have a successful pallet company making 250k a year... more than a doctor LOL
Alonzo ...Yeah, I know...lol. Pallets aren’t even that heavy, really...if they’re wet from the rain they can be a bit heavier, but at 5 or 6 bucks a lift give me all ya got! 👍
Yeah this is / can be "back break" work....especially if you already pull a shift somewhere....you practically have to offer business shares to someone for them to continue to be interested
Who does he sell to that he gets five or six dollars profit
he sells directly to the company in need... look at the average pallet cost for companies
Exactly, most are de-nails at $1 each!!!
@@mr.skeptical3071
Only if you're selling them to the recycling place. Companies NEED pallets, several of them. All you have to do is undercut the company's pallet supplier.
@@EkMane707 That is just a race to the bottom. Then the next guy will undercut you and so on.
I got palet sell to you for 2 dolla
18:10 what’s a refractory?
Refractory refers to heat-resistant materials, so my understanding is John's supplier in this case is a manufacturer of those materials.
A nuisance for the business to just haul the pallets to the pallet yard themselves he says in the beginning....?????! For the money he is claiming the pallet yard paid him for the pallets the business could just hire a PT employee to make those runs for them every day for minimum wage.... This doesn't add up.
Did you take the simplest biz training course?
I haven't.
I did take the training and can share. palletguy8@gmail.com
@@andynash2348 it it legit in your opinion? Doing well?
The dude said, he’s trying to fly under the radar and drive an old beat up truck so that nobody thinks he’s got money. He doesn’t want people to know about his business so he can profit off everyone. I bet that dude doesn’t even pay taxes on that $1,600 before lunch money. The government says the only thing worse than being a rich drug dealer is tax evasion. Make sure you’re straight dude. The government wants their money. I mean, you’re money.
Hey neighbor, how wine tasting going lately?
It's been a while! Our fave spot the past few years has been picnic-ing at Retzlaff.
@@NickLoper we are Ruby Hill, Fenstra, pardon the spelling, Grarey, and a host of others.

Can a woman do this business?
If you're asking that question chances are you shouldn't even consider this business. Mindset is everything sweetheart.
Can you use a forklift? Yes you can
