Customer returned electronics seems to be a very sought after category of wholesale liquidation merchandise. EBay and Flea Market vendors are continuously requesting information here at our blog about sourcing pallets and truckloads.

In talking with ebay sellers who are selling salvage electronics I was amazed to find out that a majority of them actually have no “tech” experience when it comes to fixing broken items often found in salvage pallets. I have been told that if you are honest and up front when listing ebay auctions even the broken items will end with closing bids….How can this be?

I had to start my own research on eBay as I was skeptical to say the least. I immediately went to ebay and using terms like, “Broken Digital Cameras” in the Advanced search tab I was astounded at the results! I did in fact find that many of the newer models were selling….even though they were damaged!

Lets think about this for a moment…Ebay provides a selling venue that attracts thousands of individuals who have the ability to accuratelately test broken or damaged electronics. So, what might be garbage to you or me could be a “Diamond in the Rough” to a small electronics repair technician.

I get the feeling that tech savvy ebay shoppers are snatching up broken DVD players, digital cameras, TV’s, stereos and fixing them with specialized knowledge and equipment. Customer returned electronics will sell on ebay.

There are many emails that come into this blog asking how to get started buying salvage electronics. A lot of the pallets and truckloads of electronics found on the Internet from liquidators are very expensive. The pallet pictured above was purchase from Liquidation.com for $234.12. In fact you can bid on small case lots of customer returned digital cameras, TVs, DVD players and Boom Boxes at Liquidation.com, which is a large online auction offering excess inventories, overstocks and shelf pull merchandise.

I researched some closed auctions at Liquidation.com and found small case lots of high-end digital cameras selling for an average of $8 per unit. At prices this low you can “Test The Waters” and not get stuck with a bunch of un-sellable merchandise. Most of the digital camera only auctions were closing with bids between $150-$500!

Pictured below is a small pallet of DVD players which sold with a final bid of $9 per unit. If you are thinking about starting an Ebay business selling name brand electronics checkout the Auctions Closing Today at Liquidation.com

Have you purchased pallets and truckloads of wholesale merchandise from Walmart or Walmart.com?

Walmart.com is a lot like your neighborhood Wal-Mart store. They feature all of the same products found in store as well as “Web Only” products. Online shoppers have access to a greater selection of items including some really well known name brands especially in the electronics category. You can purchase pallets of customer returns in several categories including Electronics, General Merchandise, Baby and Apparel. Each pallet from Walmart.com is fully manifested showing you the pallet’s item count, item names, quantities and original retail pricing.

Buying a manifested pallet will give you some sense of what you are buying. Please remember that although you will have a quantity and item list before buying you still will not know the overall condition of the items. Customer returns can range from open box to broken or damaged. Please scroll down below the picture and click on the link we have prepared. The link is an actual PDF file showing a current Walmart.com electronics manifest. We have also included links from the manifest to the actual products being sold on line at Walmart.com.
