FAQ

Selling anything at low prices is really easily, people love a bargain.
You will only be paying around 20% of the retail value of the items so there is plenty of scope to make good profit even selling items at half of their usual price, your customer gets a bargain and you get back over double what you paid, or raise it higher and make even more. We have many customers selling at 60-70% of retail price making a nice living.

Our pallets and boxes contain an even mix of brand new overstock items and customer returns.
Overstock items are brand new so will no need any work other than selling them.
Returned items - the majority of returns are 100% fine, many people buy things, look at them then return them straight away, retailers have made it easy for people to order and return so people often do that.
Some returns have been taken out of the box, tested then returned, the buyer may not like the item, they might not like the colour or style or it may not do what the buyer was expecting.
On occasion returned items may have a missing or broken part so you will need a way to fix or dispose of those items, many customers sucessfully sell these items on boot sales and markets, or they bundle a few items together and sell as a job lot.

On the site is an online Profit Calculator that helps you do the sums.

Lets take a look at an example to give an approximation of profit you could make.

You buy a pallet for £100 + vat - £120

You sell all items at half price (50% profit)
You make £120 profit

Now lets scale that up to a £300 pallet of items, this gives a profit of £360 based on selling at half of retail price.

To run a sucessful sales business there are some things you will need to do.

1. Check each item is complete, if necessary test the item.

2. Sell the item, either face to face or online, ebay is a very good way to sell however be aware of its fees when calculating sell prices.

3. You will need to store the item until it is sold. There are parcel fulfilment businesses who will warehouse items and send them when instructed at a cost.

4. Postage, you will have to pack and send items, once you reach a certain level you can arrange a daily collection but initially you will need to do this. We recommend building the postage cost into your sell price and offer free postage, buyers prefer it.

5. Have a method to sell cheaper or faulty items, a car boot sale is ideal, or sell to someone who fixes things up. People buy spares or repair items on ebay readily too

6. Count the money. We have customers who list items on ebay all day that are getting regular sales in excess of £2000 per day, they employ people to list and test for them and can pay them well to do so.

Friends and family will buy stuff, or sell to anyone via a market stall, a shop, car boot sales, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, Tik-Tok, Instagram, Amazon, and other online sales channels.
