The Expert Podcast

• In this episode, we discuss a truckload from a liquidation company (we have no association with them and receive no compensation).
• The truckload is said to have $100,000 in retail value, mostly consisting of tools and equipment such as:
  • Generators
  • Milwaukee tools
  • Lawn mowers
  • And more
• The cost of this truckload is $24,000, and it comes with a manifest detailing the retail and wholesale prices, as well as the brands.
• Highlights from the manifest include:
  • North Star, Milwaukee Fuel, and Honda brands
  • Items like:
    • Milwaukee Fuel switch pack ($800 retail, $600 wholesale)
    • Briggs and Stratton engines
    • Honda walk-behind lawn mower (high-value package)
    • High torque impact wrench ($800 item)
    • Pallet jack ($2,000 item)
  • Total retail value: $100,000
  • Total wholesale value: $60,000
• The truckload is FOB (freight on board) South Carolina, so keep that in mind for logistics.
• If you're a distributor, retailer, or reseller (eBay, Facebook Marketplace), these items can be sold for a good profit. Most items are brand-name merchandise, with a few off-brand items.
• Liquidators occasionally offer packages like this, containing valuable brand-name tools and equipment.
• For savvy resellers, selling just half at wholesale can easily cover your investment, leaving the rest as profit.
