What happens to the thousands of electronic customer returns? You know the stereos that have a missing button or the tv with the broken power switch? Mass electronic retailers have a consistent supply of electronics that have been returned for store credit or refunds due to some kind of damage. Are all of the electronics damaged that are returned to the store for credit or exchange….the answer is NO.

Some tv’s, stereos, DVD players, digital cameras and the like are returned due to impulse purchasing. What happens to the all of the customer returns? What if a portion of the salvage returns are damaged?

Big box retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Kmart, Costco, Sams Club and Target will liquidate customer returned electronics. By liquidate I mean re-wholesale to smaller retailers and eBay auction sellers.

Customer returned electronics are placed on pallets and shipped by the truckload to tech savvy entrepreneurs who are reaping the benefits of reselling top name brands like Sony, JVC, Sanyo, Toshiba, Alpine, Panasonic and other brands.

Often referred to as salvage electronics, many of the items will be broken or missing pieces, but on occasion you can find open box and floor model units to resell. If you are looking to resell electronics and you have the ability to fix and/or recondition items, buying customer returned electronics might just offer you small business excellent profit potential!
