Frequently Asked Questions About Liquidation Pallet Bidding

Essential mathematical formulas and risk management rules for buying wholesale pallets.

What is a liquidation pallet realization rate?

The realization rate is the actual percentage of original retail MSRP you can expect to sell items for on secondary marketplaces like eBay, Amazon, and Facebook Marketplace (typically 30% to 50% of MSRP for customer returns and overstock).

How do you calculate the maximum bid on an auction pallet?

Multiply total MSRP by your realization rate (e.g. 40%) and sellable working yield (e.g. 80%). Subtract your desired target net profit and inbound freight costs. Then divide by (1 + Buyer's Premium %) to establish your strict maximum hammer bid limit.
