One of my favorite wholesale pallet loads to purchase comes from a store called Orchard Supply Hardware. This is a regional retail home improvement store much like Home Depot or Lowes.

I am sure you have heard people proclaim that you should resell what you are passionate about and as a guy tools and hardware are my expertise! Tools have a great resell value and wholesale truckloads from Orchard Supply not only have tools, but you can find home improvement items, home décor, faucets, small appliances, outdoor tools and much more. Take a look at their website at www.osh.com and you will get a really good idea of the types of items that can be found in pallets.

The great thing about buying wholesale loads from this retailer is simply the price. My source offer pallets for about $100 each and a full truckload around $2000.

Osh is owned by Sears and you will find the Craftsman brand in these particular loads. You must adhere to reselling guidelines and as a matter of fact this might be a good time to review our post about reselling restrictions.

As with any wholesale pallet of customer returns you should understand the inherent risk of receiving items that are broken or missing parts. Some of the loads I have purchased from this retailer have had some heavy damages, but in each case I had no problem realizing a profit from the items that could be salvaged.
