A Profit in Return

If you could fill a warehouse full of the items that people return to catalog companies on a daily basis, what would you have? No, this isn’t a joke – but it will bring a smile to your face when you realize the potential – what you would have is a big place full of items that people in the know could sell for a profit. Has that grabbed your attention?

Just think about this for a moment; buying a product without actually being able to touch or test it isn’t really a new thing – people have been buying from catalogs for years now – but with the growth of ecommerce there are millions of potential new buyers who have never bought a product before without at least coming in contact with it. Many of these people are discovering that it can be very easy to get it wrong when buying in this way.

Generally there is absolutely nothing wrong with what they have bought, but once they get their hands on the item they realize that it either isn’t what they were expecting, or just doesn’t do the job that they were hoping that it would. Because of that customer returns have been on the increase in recent years, and these goods have to go somewhere. Now, being a person with an entrepreneurial spirit, an eye for a bargain, and the desire for a second income, you’ll probably be wondering what happens to these items next, right?

It would be obvious to assume that the customer returns would just be put right back into the system to be resold to another customer, but in the majority of cases this isn’t what happens. The goods will be checked for possible defects, cleaned up where needed, and then they will be shipped out again; not to loyal customers buying from that company, but to a third party who will sell them at a marked discount, and make a very nice profit on each item.

Of course, there are already a number of businesses that will sell these returns, and liquidation merchandise, from their own shops, but there are far more returns than most of these businesses can handle on their own. When you realize that few ‘regular’ people know that this happens, you might be able to start to see the profit potentials for the little known method of buying and reselling high ticket liquidation merchandise and returns.

The chances are that you don’t have a bricks and mortar shop of your own to sell these products from, but that doesn’t need to stop you these days. Auction sites have sprung up everywhere, and if you haven’t had much to sell on them in the past, you soon could have.

At www.palletbid.com you will find a wide variety of items just waiting for you to bid on. You’ll be able to choose the category of items that you have an interest in, and specialize in selling those items. One hint is to see if there are any auction sites created specifically for that niche, and sell to people who go to that site with the sole aim of buying the type of items that you’ll soon be selling.

So, have you still got that smile on your face? The potential to make money from reselling the items that people have returned is huge, and all it takes is a few minutes of your time to get started. Just think of a profitable sector, visit www.palletbid.com, and build a business that will keep you and your family secure; when holding down a job in many other industries is becoming an extremely difficult thing to do.
