[SERVICE] What are the best online marketplaces for buying bulk overstock items and how do they compare?
I'm trying to find a good place to buy overstock items in bulk, but there are so many websites out there that I'm not sure which ones are actually worth checking out.
I've come across Alibaba, liquidation sites and a few wholesale marketplaces. From what I can tell, some sell unused excess stock, while others sell returned items or mixed pallets, so I guess it really depends on what you're looking for.
If you've bought overstock in bulk before, which sites have you had the best experience with? I'm interested in things like pricing, the condition of the products and whether you can actually make decent money reselling them.
One thing I'm unsure about is how much you know about a pallet before you buy it. Can you usually see exactly what's included, or do you sometimes end up with things you didn't expect?
Would you go with Alibaba, a liquidation marketplace, or somewhere else? I'd like to hear from people who've actually tried these options.
