Bin stores are the latest fad in liquidation

[@roachtoasties]

It's one thing to find a bargain, it's another to buy stuff you don't need. Who has room for this stuff? Besides, It's basically returns. There's a reason why someone returned it.

[@karenmbbaxter]

smart comment. I only buy what I need and therefore I can afford to pay the utility bills and insurance bills when they are due......people just fill up their homes with junk.

[@brodriguez11000]

Reasons yes, but not always good ones.

[@grants169]

I used to go to auctions and fill my house with crap I didn't need. Over the course of 4 years I turned $1000 into $150,000 reselling it all. It was soooo much work though.

Pricey bin store. Ours starts at $5 down to 50 cents

[@karenmbbaxter]

I thought $14 was a bit rich also.

[@ML-sc3pt]

Depends on the costs of pallets. Most I find cost upwards of $2 per after shipping and if you have a large building that gets pricey especially with a mortgage on it

[@earendil5884]

Finding new “treasures”, I see were using that term very loosely. Looks more like junk

[@davidcaylor7484]

Only shows positive aspects of store. One I went to has a No Returns policy... and item in box may be broke or missing parts. There are some fabulous deals, but as always... Buyer Beware 😮

[@chorlesteajones6794]

This is why they mentioned the first day everything is $14 because a lot of the boxes are still unopened. As the days go by, more and more people are opening boxes to see if the merchandise is broken or not. I worked returns at Amazon and while most unopened boxes get put back in inventory for Amazon, some items sold by individual stores through Amazon don't want returns. So it gets put on pallets in the Amazon warehouse and liquidated that way.

[@ML-sc3pt]

It's almost as if they're returned products and people would just lie about it

[@gailjames6489]

Where is this place, never heard of it before???😮

[@rafaelm3523]

there's a ton of these through out North America

[@NutkeyDoesMinecraft]

@@rafaelm3523 Yeah there was even one in my town. But they shutdown. They had a pricing model where it scaled down based on the day.

[@brendabarrs5912]

I can’t wait to go to the one not that far away from us. Who doesn’t love getting a great deal especially these days

2:33 “Nothing for you?!” “Hell naw, I don’t want any of this cheap xhit. I told you, I came here to shop for my mother-in-law.”

[@tanyab2349]

With all the advertising, you still didn't mention the location. Go figure

[@Westcoast10]

Such an unsustainable business model 😂

[@ML-sc3pt]

How so? It only becomes unsustainable once people quit returning so much shit and companies learn not to overproduce which will never happen

[@Westcoast10]

@ cost of liquidation pallets have significantly gone up because of these bin stores and with liquidation you’re essentially gambling hoping to turn a profit. These stores run on volume so their profit margins are thin.

[@ML-sc3pt]

@@Westcoast10 no they went up because of the fact that it's no longer just bin stores but major retailers like Burlington and Marshall's buying up more than any bin store could dream to purchase. Not to mention groups collecting for charities like good will spending the money to buy truckloads of goods for them

[@Westcoast10]

@@ML-sc3pt it all started with the bin stores though

[@ML-sc3pt]

@Westcoast10 the bin stores were who bought it first lmao. The reason shit got pricier is because gas cost more under Biden, inflation got insane, the amount of the stores especially in certain areas exploded, and major retailers including non-liquidation ones like target started buying up these goods to resell

[@expertexcavatinginc]

Okay this isnt journalism what is this doing on news? Stop glorifying shopping culture. Its bizarre. No one needs more stuff.

[@jacksonsmith5490]

This is hoarding culture.
