Liquidation.com : A Review

Liquidation.com is a liquidity services corporation, where a lot of major retailers as well as individual sellers sell their customer returns or other goods. Anyone can register on the site and bid on pallets of goods for personal use or to resell. If you are in the eBay or Amazon business or any type of reselling business in general, you might have run across liquidation.com.

Is liquidation.com a scam? In short, no.

In this hub, I will share my own personal experiences regarding liquidation.com, and how I have managed to use it as a solid source of inventory.

I have been selling things online for about three years on and off, and I have been using liquidation.com for about two and a half years. I keep going back to it because it works for me. In fact, sometimes, I find incredible deals on that site, and have been able to make up to 300% returns. But, as with everything, it's not that simple or easy.

When I first started buying on liquidation.com, I took a risk. I was in college, I had some extra money, I wanted to start my own business...I had nothing to lose. I bought a huge lot of jewelry for what I thought was a good price. Now, I did do research before putting my money down on these goods. I was seeing many sellers sell the same kind of jewelry on eBay for a good price, and I thought I could make some money doing the same. I was wrong. I didn't lose much money; I barely broke even. In fact, I was left with about two boxes of unsellable, cheap jewelry (they're still lying around the house somewhere).

But I kept going. I was determined to make my eBay endeavors a success. My second purchase on liquidation.com was 800 pieces of lingerie. Which turned out to be another mistake. I might have made some money off of that investment if i were going to sell each item individually or sell them at a brick and mortar shop, but not on eBay where competition was too high and few people searched for no-name clothing articles.

Undaunted still, I continued doing market research both on eBay and on liquidation.com and a few months later, I made a breakthrough. I bought a pallet of customer return electronics and made some very decent returns on that. I continued buying from the same seller and have found that most of my purchases have been quite successful, giving me a nice return each time.

I can say that my experience on liquidation.com has been positive so far, but that it takes work to learn the system. You need to get to know about the individual sellers and their goods. You need to do market research on what sells. You need to speculate costs and returns. Always underestimate your speculated returns especially if you are purchasing customer returns that are not all guaranteed to work. Yes, I have had defective products show up in pallets, but the overall goods in each pallet makes up for one or two defective items.

How is customer service on liquidation.com? To be honest, not very good. This is the one aspect of the site that I really wish they would improve on. Don't expect to get any type of helpful replies via email. Even if you phone them, you will get vague responses. And as others have commented online, it is quite possible that there is some serious shill bidding going on on the site. This does not really concern me, as most of the time, I will just bid up to my own maximum bid (after looking at my speculated returns calculations), and if someone should surpass that bid, I just let go of that lot. With all of this in mind, I must reiterate again how important it is to really know what you are doing on this site. You might not get it right away, but if you are determined to have a good, solid inventory source for your online business, I do recommend liquidation.com. You will find amazing deals...once you figure out where to look.
