I was reading that sometimes when shipping stuff, if just the label is damaged, the buyer may reject the shipment and then the goods are sold as salvage per the terms of the insurance policy.
I was looking online and it seems like you can buy entire palettes worth of this stuff at a discount with the brand names and logos removed and stuff. Anyone try?
Go here quite regularly.
I know someone with deep pockets who buys stuff like this (cheap) and gives it away.
There’s a variety of stores here that sell stuff that they buy as pallets of returns from Costco.
It’s all overpriced and a lot of it’s junk. But they’re busy, I guess there’s a subculture of people that go there regularly thinking there’s deals (narrator: there isn’t).
If you want to do good for the world, buy salvaged goods, it supports your fellow actuaries working for insurance companies.
I had a coworker years ago try this as a side gig, he gave up after a few months of trying to move something like three dozen little IKEA type shelves on Craigslist. Given the low barrier to entry, I doubt there’s much money in it, and if you’re looking to use the stuff, I think you’ll spend a lot of time trying to find the right pallet.
I can’t even get rid.of the computer crap I have. Perfectly good Ryzen 5 with graphics card in a gaming case, no bites. Servers, hard drives, brand new VoIP phones, all sitting there with no interest. And me to cheap or something to get rid of them because ‘theyre worth something’.
Amazon has stuff that got returned in good condition that they sell for a discount:

Lol, i used to tell my spouse ‘im.watching brandy’.
I’m confused at this. Went to pets, clicked on the first thing (some vacuum). No button for purchase, also nothing denoting it was used. Clicked “other options”, the only option is an Amazon Prime listing which appears to be new.
Again tried, clicked on video games, clicked on the first video game. No button to purchase, nothing about being used. Clicked “other options”, it can be bought on Prime for $59.99.
On my third attempt it looks like I found a used item.
I am sorry about that, I read about it recently and thought it sounded promising.
It does look like some items are used/cheaper. It’s just not well set up. No worries, wondered if I was missing something.
Seems neat but I’d never think to go there on the off-chance a thing is available. But maybe if I needed just any couch for a kid in college or something.
