    Or they are closing down. Why else would they be selling used office furniture?

  May or may not work?!?! You are not spending $30+, you are betting $30+.

    You reckon you couldn't get some gear going from a pallet full of customer returns? People return things for absurd reasons. I once got a digital radio for free after a return because it buzzed. Turns out a tiny screw had fallen inside and the speaker magnet caught it. Literally a 60 second fix.

      A pallet of returns costs $100, an even bigger bet. It is not free unlike you digital radio. Besides, I don't want a pallet of junk, I want a TV and a monitor.

      The $30+ items are LCD TVs, monitors, and desktop PCs. LCD TVs and monitors are very difficult to repair because the manufacturers don't sell replacement boards to the general public. Yes, I tried asking Dell for a power supply board and Samsung for a LCD driver board. They told me to go away. So you are forced to perform diagnostics and repairs on highly integrated chips and surface-mounted circuit boards. And should the fragile multi-strand ribbon cables are at fault (or you carelessly broke them during disassembly), you can kiss your money goodbye because they cannot be repaired and nobody sells replacements. I don't see a 60-second fix with these products.

      You may have better luck with the desktop PCs because the boards and parts are easy to swap and generally available for purchase. But if the fault is in the mainboard then you are in trouble again. And how do you know what you are getting? Even if you are allowed to open the case and look inside, the CPU is hidden underneath the heat sink and thermal compound. And I doubt you will be allowed to eject the RAM modules for examination either.

      In summary, this feels more like betting than buying. If you are okay with that, good luck to you, but I am not.

        Besides, I don't want a pallet of junk, I want a TV and a monitor.

        Since you are obviously a person who has extremely limited repair skills, this deal is not for you.

        There kinds of "job lots" suit resellers, for example repairing then reselling on ebay.

        I don't see a 60-second fix with these products.

        The products on the pallets may not even be faulty.

        For example, I just received an Xbox controller from another deal. Advertised as having 3.5mm headphone jack, however it is the older model that doesn't include that.

        So, like probably 1/3 of all buyers, I am returning mine. It's never been used, powered up or tested, however the packet is opened. However once the vendor gets it back, they won't be able to assess if it works or not… however the actual reason for return is "item not as described".

        Picking up a pallet that included of that kind of return would be a bargain for resellers.

        In summary, this feels more like betting than buying. If you are okay with that, good luck to you, but I am not.

        That's why you are not the intended market for this deal.

        Liquidated stock like this is the same as buying pallet lots at the auctions. It's a lucky dip… sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. That's the whole point, and why it's so cheap.

        After all that commenting, you have simply repeated what I wrote: You are not spending $30+, you are betting $30+; this feels more like betting than buying.

        No I didn't. I am saying the exact opposite to you.

        You are not spending $30+, you are betting $30+; this feels more like betting than buying.

        NO, it's certainly not "betting". It's not even a risk.

        You are paying probably 5c or 10c in the dollar. The value on the pallet will be worth more than what you pay - otherwise, you wouldn't buy it.

        You seem to have difficulty understanding that the price paid is the SCRAP value. Anything you find within the lot that's repairable or working translates to pure profit.

        For many years I used to make my living from buying stock like this at warehouse clearances and auctions, sorting it and reselling. It's not the same thing as buying retail.

        Okay, whatever. It is recorded here in black and white for all to read and judge. If you say winning and losing in a lucky dip is the exact opposite to winning and losing in a bet, then so be it. Obviously, in addition to my extremely limited repair skills, I also possess an extremely limited intellect to be able to discern the difference. How you are able to profile my repair skills based on the what I wrote in one paragraph is simply amazing.

        The majority of my comment was not about the $100 pallets. mskeggs misunderstood the context but you have continuously quoted me out of context.

        I simply want to note that the "buy-in price" to a "scrap" LCD TV, monitor and desktop PC is a minimum of $30, and I will be unable to do quick board swaps for the LCDs because I cannot buy the parts. According to your calculation, these LCDs and PCs are worth a minimum of $300-600? This is in contrast to alankami's report that "its mainly obsolete items (and) old dusty computers". Can you please calculate for me the economic benefit I will get from selling repaired obsolete LCDs, against the labour cost I will incur in performing SMD and IC diagnostics and repairs under a microscrope?

        You win genius. I am such an idiot.

    Went there earlier today to check out their items. Its mainly obsolete items like old dusty computers, cables, and monitors. Iphone/Ipad covers, RC helicopters and cars, old video cams, very cheap dashcams, and other smaller electronic devices. Not really worth buying to be honest. But its a gold mine for people looking for old stuff :)

    Also damaged/faulty items.
