INSIGHT

Excess Inventory Is A Continuous Source

Massive supply of excess inventory and returns creates continuous cheap sourcing opportunities.
Building systems and an "unfair advantage" (storage, knowledge, capital, grind) lets you scale reliably.

ADVICE

Always Use The Manifest And Do The Math

Always get the manifest and compare local selling prices before bidding.
Work the math backwards from realistic local sale prices to set a strict max bid.

ADVICE

Sell First, Buy Second

Sell before you buy when possible: pre-sell pallets or call local buyers to validate demand.
Use buyer conversations to determine the maximum you can pay then bid accordingly.
