So in the news today , a story about someone who made many returns to amazon. They refunded his money in full each time. One of his returns came up for a quality check and the employee found the box was full of DIRT. They checked his others and found all were full of dirt. His total , so far, is $370k with which he opened his own business. Jeez.

[@mommyabroad3507]

JUst want to put this out there: I know people do scam Amazon by abusing their return policy, BUT, it is possible this was not a scam. It is possible the customer ordered the cheap projector and did not like it once it arrived(or it was faulty or it had damaged packaging) and then filed to return it while also deciding to splurge on quality and ordered the Epson projector. When it arrived they packaged the cheapo one in the Epson box to return it because it was a convenient shape and size (maybe they had tossed the original box or it was damaged). Amazon didn't re-lable it for the liquidators and the liquidators went by the model number on the box for determining MSRP... I am not saying this is likely, but I do want to suggest it is a reasonable possibility...not everything that looks scammy is one. It still stinks for you though, as you paid for a box expecting it to be holding a certain value and it didn't. Sorry.

[@commish8417]

To me the real scam is the prices you charge for some of the items. 10 bucks for a greeting card box that is missing some? Crazy that someone would even think of paying anywhere remotely close to that price. I saw one of your older videos where you got a sports t shirt with a hole in the front and you wanted 5 bucks for it. Crazy!!!

[@deb8549]

When reselling these items, he is not "scamming" anyone. Are you serious? Those greeting cards could be sold individually for a buck each and even if he was selling the bulk of the package for $10, as long as the buyer is aware of what they are getting, there is no scam. As far as the sports shirt having a hole in it goes, crafters would be interested in such buys as they can cut out the design and repurpose that into another item ie..a quilt, blanket, a tote bag that they make, etc. There are so many reasons why a person would buy an item that is flawed when they work in repurposing items, so it's not "crazy."

[@matthisstimee4305]

@@dcb1138 Most of the time these boxes/stuff isn't sold by Amazon itself, just labeled as Amazon return stuff. I believe you have to go to an external website to buff such stuff. If you send something back to Amazon, they usually don't check the contents, if the product has no impactful value (i.e. cheap clothes, smart phone cases, hygiene products and other stuff) they trash it immediadly, since checking would waste money. On the other hand, they check electronics very thoroughly, since they can be still resold at a high price. The trash gets auctioned off, people buy them in hopes to find something really valueable. I didn't watch the video, since this guy streches it to an unbearable long time, but in most cases buyers make only a minor fraction of the money back on what they had spend. Basically they buy trash in high hopes to find other people who buy their trash. It has barely anything to do with scamming, just a clickbait title.

Hey Clint, big fan here. Something I thought about when you were showing us the projector is, how would you know if somebody ripped off amazon with a fake return item or if somebody is just using a different box for shipping? I know in this particular instance with the projector you’re most likely correct that the customer sent back the wrong projector on purpose, but in the past I myself have used random boxes to return or ship items if the original box is no longer available for use or just plain destroyed. Just a thought I had. Happy new year to you and the Mrs!

[@FranchiseKicks]

In this case I can tell because of the High Dollar amount of the total pallet. Amazon liquidated this pallet at a value of $2,255 and this item alone is worth $700. Without this item, the pallet comes nowhere close to the $2,000 value range. That is how you can tell it was a customer return bait and switch scam this time. Amazon liquidated this item at the $700 price point because that is what it was suppose to be.

on the Amazon website it states under returns that if Amazon deems the return resellable they put back in their inventory, and only when the 3rd party doesn't want to buy it back from amazon is when they liquidate it. I checked the other day because I wanted to know what their return policy was about free shipping. I might be way off but how do they know if a product can be resold without checking it out. i'm so confused.

[@FranchiseKicks]

That policy you are referring too is for items that are owned by 3rd party sellers and items not owned by Amazon. I am a 3rd party seller on Amazon and if I sell through Amazon FBA and a customer returns an item, 99% of the time Amazon DOES NOT check the item, they just refund the money and I put in the request to have the item shipped back to me to be inspected before they resell it for me again because I don't trust Amazon. 50% of the time the item is either used, damaged or a totally different item than what it should be and Amazon NEVER checked the item and they were going to resell it again for me but I ALWAYS put in into an unsellable status so I get it back to check it over because once again, Amazon does not actually check returns.

@@jasemoutdoors2131 Where are you getting your info? The Military almost always bids on the lowest price point for products and equipment, the exception in the last almost 20 years being Cheney and the ties to private company contract bias, the Military was being charged exuberant fees for things like laundry services (200 dollars a load) at overseas/deployed bases and whatnot with little efficacy. Water treatment was poor and constantly was a health hazard, and some other stuff like that-- but it wasn't the DoD charging that, it was the commercial and private sector, those days are over for the most part now.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

@@Lark_Vivian sounds like it's a bit of a "loophole" to save a few bucks when there is some efficacy in returning a defective or unwanted product, but it shouldn't be abused like the scammers are doing, and Amazon and the FTC need to be investigating and better vetting those people and the return products.

Dude, you’re one of THE most real people on here. Your information is great & your genuinely straight-talk approach is greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the knowledge sharing & please keep it up.

I think Amazon knows exactly what it's putting in the boxes. I doubt they're losing money.

[@Bley_12]

most products are not sold by amazon, people will send to their warehouse to sell and that is why u have prime, so Amazon still prob gets their fees from the seller.

So if you buy someone else's returns and sell them, how do you know you are not selling broken trash? I would never buy from you.

[@FranchiseKicks]

You do buy from me and thousands of people just like me every time you buy from Amazon

[@broderp]

@@FranchiseKicks Doubtful. Unless you are "Sold and Ships by Amazon" and Prime.. And even if you are a part of Amazon's "sold and shipped from" I have Amazon to warranty my stuff with no hassles. I am leery of "fullfilled by Amazon" and if any package arrives opened or used it goes back. I do not buy used. PERIOD. So if you are selling your stuff as new, then you are a dishonest cheat. Even more reason why it's good that you got scammed. I review and leave crappy seller experiences if needed and call them out by name. Luckily with my current practices, this does not happen often.

Just in case it hasn't been said, the little blue things are for wire connections typically in the ground. You connect two or three wires with a wire nut and push them into the little blue things. There is silicone gel inside to keep the connection waterproof.

[@fukujuamaterasu]

How do you keep certain channels from showing in your recommendeds? After giving a fair shake to a half dozen different videos by this guy, i realise that they are the SAME video, but with different items. He spends not much and complains the whole time. He pulls out something that he's really disappointed in and delivers some long-winded diatribe aimed at the customer who had some unknown return issue, filling in the blanks with the worst case scenario. (Remember the 15 minute lecture on TAPE?) He looks and acts like someone shot his dog every time he's confused(which is pretty often) or butthurt about something. What whining and drama as he keeps going on-and-on about things.. Last time I'm clicking one of his vids, yet again another than I can't even finish.

[@The_Laser_Channel]

I really liked that ICP album in there. I would have kept it too! Since you liked Great Milenko, you'd really like their newest album, "Fearless Fred Fury". When I heard it, you could really tell ICP had gone back to their Great Milenko roots...

Just so you know, when you get these Otterbox cases that are screwed up, you can go on the Otterbox site and request a replacement for them. At most, you are out $5 for the replacement. Then you sell them full price on your site. MUCH MUCH more profit than just throwing them out or selling them for $1.

How are you scammed? If the items on the pallets of various return items from amazon are not specified at or before purchase, you are not scammed at all.

[@marychilders4817]

The MSRP of items in pallets IS known at the time of purchase. If someone buys a $700 projector and replaced it with a scrappy projector worth around $40, both he and Amazon were both scamm ed! But it is Amazon's return policy that is troubling.

[@V_channel_]

[@CsabaTothMr]

Can Amazon track down the scammers utilizing their bar code identification system somehow? Right now they are just deferring these costs to the pallet buyers. Of course to rule out pallet flipper scammers, this would require video evidence from the pallet buyer, but the pallet buyer could submit a list of the bogus items in the pallet, some required identification for those items (photo of the bar codes, etc) along with an unedited clean video evidence where it's visible they are just opening them. Because these return scammers seem to be too rampant. I want the scammers be caught and punished, hate them from my guts. I got scammed multiple times on ebay as a seller and ebay doesn't help either.

[@beester1432]

Just because you got scammed doesn't mean you have to throw 1000 ads in your video to your beloved subscribers. Think

I dont think its him putting the ads. I get 2 to 3 ads on 2 3 minutes videos i have seen. It must be KZbin

I don't ever remember seeing more than 3 ads in the Franchise Kicks videos, even the ones that are an hour or longer. The ads have never been never bothered me, so I've never really noticed them (or counted - maybe there have been over 3 in the long videos, but I haven't noticed).
