What It Is
Buy liquidation or customer-returned goods in bulk from sites like B-Stock or GovDeals, then resell them individually on Facebook Marketplace or similar for a markup.
The Pitch
A cited example bought refrigerators at $34 each from a liquidation pallet and resold them near retail price, a large, straightforward markup.
Who It’s Best For
Someone with storage space and the patience to sort, test, and individually resell a batch of mixed-condition goods.
The Truth (as we see it)
The specific per-unit numbers given are believable but anecdotal, not an audited business record. This requires physical local storage and the ability to receive, inspect, and hand off items to buyers in person.
