It is time to become creative in your search for wholesale liquidation electronics. A lot of the stock that liquidators purchase comes direct from the reverse logistics industry. Reverse logistics covers activities related to returned product, returned pallets and containers, and returned materials for disposal or recycling. A segment of this industry also focuses on refurbishing products that have been returned to the retailer due to malfunction

Some third party reverse logistics companies handle electronics returns, refurbish products and sell consumer returns by the pallet and truckload in an effort to recoup otherwise lost dollars for the original retailer.

If interested, Wikipedia offers a full page description and explanation about the reverse logistics industry.

Why do we care? We as resellers of retail merchandise can find suppliers tracking down those that are involved in the return processing of retail merchandise, especially electronics. Finding reverse logistics providers is not hard, but it takes time. One way I routinely search is to Google the current attendees of the reverse logistics conferences that take place each year.

Google each one and investigate each website; some will offer sales of raw returns or refurbished products, while others will not. Also check event sponsors.

I have found several sources for cell phones, ipods, small electronics and computer equipment using this method. Good luck and let me know if you find a Wholesale goldmine!
