Sourcing Surplus Electronics for Your Online Business

Surplus electronics are a great way to start with an online resale business, but when looking for liquidation suppliers you have to make sure you are working with a reputable company. This will ensure you are getting high-quality products.

In addition, wholesale suppliers buy in large quantities from manufacturers and retailers directly and break up the merchandise in wholesale pallet lots in order to sell them to retailers or individual buyers. However, never buy a wholesale pallet without a full list of products contained inside.

It is not unusual to buy a pallet of wholesale electronics that contain laptops, smartphones, accessories, with each and every being different. When selling to a specific market, you are looking to buy a wholesale pallet of maybe a single product or a group of products that are in high demand in a certain market.

It has to be noted that the respect you build with a wholesale supplier can benefit both sides, you can get favorable deals, with maybe flexible payment terms, while the wholesaler gets a long-term customer.

An Even Cheaper Option: Buying Directly from Liquidators

As noted, wholesale suppliers buy merchandise directly from the manufacturers and retailers sell them in smaller quantities to other retailers and individual buyers for a profit. If they are making a profit, this means they must be sourcing the merchandise at prices below wholesale. One reason for this is the amount of merchandise they purchase, usually by the truckload. The other reason is the fact that they are buying merchandise being liquidated by large retailers such as Amazon, Walmart or Target.

This may raise a number of questions, such as the quality of the merchandise but also the rationale behind buying liquidations and then selling them on. The answer is simple but has a few layers to it. First, retailers like Amazon have a huge throughput of merchandise, and a significant portion of it ends up returning. Amazon return pallets are handled by dedicated departments that receive the merchandise, review it, refurbish if needed and repackage it making it ready for sale. Traditionally, wholesalers would turn up and buy such merchandise by a truckload, sort it the way they think fits and sell it on with a markup.

However, over recent years, retailers have found ways to run wholesale liquidation without having to deal with wholesalers, and this is by using liquidation websites. Usually, these websites put up the whole Amazon pallet program on auction and the merchandise was sold to the highest bidder. Nowadays you are able to buy merchandise for a fixed price, without bidding. So if you are looking for wholesale electronics, at prices below wholesale, liquidation platforms are the perfect place to look.

Liquidation platforms combine the best of all worlds. You are getting top tier products at prices below wholesale and you don’t have to worry about the contents of a pallet since you can choose your products and buy pallets of one surplus product type. This is made possible through the information provided to you by the retailers and the liquidator in a packing list known as the manifest. This document provides you with all the information about the products contained within a pallet including the quality of the products. This way you can buy only the products of the highest available quality which will not only allow you to stay competitive in a market in terms of price, but also quality.

Following these steps will enable you to buy wholesale electronics at the cheapest prices, secure a healthy profit margin while staying competitive in a very attractive market. Everyone loves a nice gadget, especially if it is a bargain.
