Tip of the hat to old friend Jim Straw, he is missed. In his course on buying and selling liquidations and overstocks, Jim pointed out that sellers are buyers. I don't believe in retail, (for me), as a way to make under the radar money as our FLY LOW COLLECT THE DOUGH thinking goes.

Retail has too much slop. BUT, if you spend some time making contacts, you can flip pallets of goods pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty easily. It goes back to the Chattel Report, The Sprint to Freedom and the thing 99% don't do...

build up networks. So much easier if you know people in your area whom will take your junk off your hands and you profit. It is no different when buying pallets of junk. Dien has recently experienced International Chatteling and the whole retail thing...a good experience but not much of a fly low thing, too many regs, rules, laws and what I call slop...but, if you can pull it off, can be very lucrative.

Before I get too far along, maybe you are unfamiliar of the PALLETS OF PROFITS (should I write a report?)...

So take a quick look at a small number of sites so you can see for yourself what all the BrewHaHA is about, ok?

Ever hear of Walmart? https://liquidations.walmart.com/

Might find a bargain or two there. Now, a list to quickly look at just to confirm there is a huge market...but don't go down too many rabbit holes yet.

OK, you get the point. There is a ton of stuff for sale out there.

You could set up a retail space, there are lots of places vacant, I say YOU could, I wouldn't.

You could buy spce in a flea market, not a bad idea if you have a local one which gets a good amount of traffic.

You could focus on higher priced items and craigslist them locally, like buy a pallet of Walmart TV's, and sell them one or two off on craigslist.

Check out B stock http://bstock.com

There are tens of thousands of pallets full of merchandise selling for pennies on the dollar. Now, I'm lucky in that Akron is just a few hours from a dozen of these places and in many cases less than 90 minutes. Very easy to get to and SEE for myself and toss them in the van or have the pallet loaded onto a truck.

But I don't warehouse (much) but a new U Haul just opened up down the street and I may rethink this a little bit, it is an indoor climate controlled storage center.

Anyhow, you can see there is a huge amount of stuff.

How to profit? Well, using Jim Straw's idea that buyers are sellers, jump on google and search your area for stores. These are potential buyers.

Here is ONE idea, offer your pallets or parts of them as A PIECE OF A PROMOTION or giveaway. Stores can have drawings, contests, collect names and build lists by using merchandise for promotions, and you could run the thing. You become, in effect, a PROMOTIONS consultant, and even if you break even on the pallet, so what, your CONSULTANT FEE could be a very nice paycheck for you.

I'll have more on this (maybe) if interest is shown. I'm only going to write about what people want, both here and in the FLY LOW COLLECT DOUGH UPDATE HOTLINE.

I've got 50 years of experience to tap into, so tap it (but not in any sort of sexual way {unless???} HA.

PS. In the past I've done well with overstock jewelry, much of it came from SCI, and they have pallets they offer too. Having seen which promotions worked, it was easy to adjust that to getting rid of jewelry.
