If you’re new to liquidation, the process can feel overwhelming at first. America’s Liquidation Hub was built to make things clearer from explaining pallet types to helping you choose the right load for your resale goals.
This guide walks you through the essentials so you can get started without guessing.
1. Understanding Liquidation Pallets at America’s Liquidation Hub
Every pallet is different, but most fall into a few main categories:
- Shelf Pulls: Items taken off store shelves, usually in like-new condition.
- Customer Returns: Products that may be unused, lightly used, or defective.
- Overstock: Brand new items a retailer didn’t sell due to season or stock changes.
- Salvage: Damaged or incomplete goods, better for experienced resellers.
Knowing which type you’re buying helps you match your inventory to your customers.
2. Manifested vs. Unmanifested: How America’s Liquidation Hub Handles It
A manifest is a detailed list of what’s inside a pallet.
- Manifested pallets give you clarity and are easier for beginners.
- Unmanifested pallets cost less but carry more uncertainty.
At America’s Liquidation Hub, we clearly mark which pallets are manifested and help you understand the list before you buy.
3. Choosing Your First Pallet Size
You don’t need to start with a full truckload. Many first-time buyers at America’s Liquidation Hub begin with one or two pallets, giving them room to learn without overcommitting funds.
4. Selling the Products You Buy
Before purchasing, think about where your inventory will go. Common options include:
- Online marketplaces like eBay, Amazon, or Whatnot
- Flea markets or bin stores
- Local selling apps such as Facebook Marketplace
We can also advise on product categories that tend to move quickly in each channel.
5. Why Work with America’s Liquidation Hub?
Liquidation works best when you have a supplier who’s transparent, reachable, and consistent. Our role is to give you the information you need not just a sales pitch so you can make purchases that fit your business.
