I Bought Two Giant Amazon Return Pallets for $1013

In this video, Connor documents the experience of buying $500 Amazon return pallets, unboxing them to reveal items like ottomans, office chairs, a wooden accent chair, bar stools, and a sealed electric fireplace—while tracking resale values through an on-screen counter. He emphasizes his reseller strategy of only keeping items he wouldn't want in his own home, though he breaks that rule for a $150 velvet swivel chair he loves. Throughout the pallet, he consistently lowballs estimates and plans to sell most finds on Facebook Marketplace for quick cash, slowly recovering his investment. Highlights include a "Jeff Bezos castle" pallet with bean bag beads and a memory foam topper (given free to Pops), and a frustrating final discovery: modern kitchen chairs returned without their seats, leaving him dumbfounded. Ultimately, he estimates the first pallet likely broke even if he kept the items, capturing the unpredictable gamble of liquidation pallets.

• ▶ 0:00 Eight Amazon pallets are on display with a combined stated value of over $4,000, containing Amazon returns like furniture, household goods, and possibly electronics.
• ▶ 0:12 Connor bought two of the pallets from a friend who purchased all eight—the one he’s standing next to and the one directly behind it.
• ▶ 0:20 The unboxing begins, with the goal of revealing what’s actually inside the mystery pallets.
• ▶ 0:44 First item is a Simply Home ottoman with hidden storage; host calls it "fire" but notes the color is "a little tacky."
• ▶ 1:07 The ottoman retails for $143 on Amazon and appears brand new; host estimates a Facebook Marketplace resale value of $80.
• ▶ 1:23 Host reminds viewers each pallet costs $500 and introduces an on-screen money counter to track the total value of revealed items.
• ▶ 1:32 The creator picks a surprisingly heavy item from the pallet, identified as an office chair.
• ▶ 1:43 Instead of unboxing, they scan the chair with the Amazon app, finding a retail price of $38.
• ▶ 1:54 They plan to resell the chair for $10 on Facebook Marketplace, preferring cheaper $10 items in the pallet.
• ▶ 2:01 The next box is very light, raising questions about whether it will help turn a profit given the roughly $500-per-pallet investment.
• ▶ 2:13 The box contains a soccer-ball-shaped bean bag, which Connor enthusiastically calls "so sick" and "pretty cute."
• ▶ 2:24 Connor guesses it sells for around $15 on Amazon and plans to list it for about $10 on Facebook Marketplace.
• ▶ 2:30 The host wraps up the previous item, estimating it could sell for about $10, then moves on to the next box.
• ▶ 2:35 They open another box and discover it is "another stinking chair," then scan it with the Amazon app to check its value.
• ▶ 2:41 The chair scans at $61, and the host plans to list it for $20—half the new price—noting they are "slowly slowly getting our money back."
• ▶ 2:57 Another office chair is discovered in the pallet, met with mock frustration.
• ▶ 3:06 The chair is made of leather, with an estimated resale value of $25.
• ▶ 3:13 The creator intentionally lowballs value estimates, expecting to sell items below listed price.
• ▶ 3:23 The next pallet item is revealed to be a massive box, immediately drawing attention.
• ▶ 3:26 The host struggles to lift the oversized box, noting "the whole box is coming with me," emphasizing its size and weight.
• ▶ 3:33 Turning the box to read the label, the host identifies the brand as "Sunset Trading," but the label gives no clue about the contents, building suspense for the unboxing.
• ▶ 3:38 Host unboxes a wooden accent chair and is immediately impressed, praising the wood finish and black accents.
• ▶ 4:12 Amazon listing is confusing: listed at $322 as a “Cherry solid wood set,” unclear if a table is included, and has no review photos.
• ▶ 4:48 He values the two chairs at around $150, would accept $100, and calls it his favorite item so far.
• ▶ 5:01 He accidentally breaks one of the pallets but brushes it off, then opens the next box to find it contains a chair leg and lots of styrofoam, indicating assembly is needed.
• ▶ 5:25 After scanning the box, he reveals it's a bar stool, jokes the box might be full of styrofoam, and pulls out the "Boho Vibe bar stool chairs," saying they look "really, really nice."
• ▶ 6:01 He estimates the chairs are worth $200 total, but dislikes that assembly would take about 2 hours, so he plans to sell them and settles on a value of $80 for the chair.
• ▶ 6:28 The third pallet item is revealed as a brand-new electronic fireplace, still perfectly sealed in its original packaging, sparking an excited reaction.
• ▶ 6:44 The creator notes the item is "packaged so perfectly" and chooses not to fully remove it from the box, showing the fireplace without disrupting its pristine state.
• ▶ 7:00 He estimates the fireplace is worth about $136 and is confident he could resell it quickly for $100 on Facebook Marketplace using good photos.
• ▶ 7:19 Connor highlights that the previous item is easily a $100 item, indicating strong value from that unboxing.
• ▶ 7:21 He notes there are only two boxes left on the pallet, saying it “flew by” but they still got good stuff from it.
• ▶ 7:28 He starts stating his main objective for the remaining boxes, but the sentence cuts off before finishing.
• ▶ 7:31 Connor restates his reseller rule: only keep items he wouldn't put in his own house, joking that keeping everything is "smoking my own supply."
• ▶ 7:46 He discovers a velvet swivel chair, calls it a "sick chair," and notes it looks brand new and is one of the coolest finds on the pallet.
• ▶ 8:44 After an online price check surprises him at $150, he admits he'll break his own rule and keep the chair for his basement: "Call me Mr. Smoke My Own Supplier."
• ▶ 9:06 The final pallet box contains fabric chairs that look "super nice," and a phone scan identifies them as a set of two modern kitchen chairs worth around $100.
• ▶ 9:52 Counting reveals at least four to five chairs, but excitement turns to confusion when they discover the chairs have no seats—only backrests and frames.
• ▶ 10:17 The creator realizes the original buyer deliberately removed the seats before returning the chairs, reducing the box's value by about $20 and leaving them "dumbfounded."
• ▶ 10:27 The $500 first pallet likely broke even if kept items, but the host is unsure of the exact money counter total.
• ▶ 10:56 Opening the heavy "Jeff Bezos castle" pallet reveals screws and hardware, not the dreaded cups, but the item is unidentified and initially underwhelming.
• ▶ 12:03 Discovering "Big Joe" beads (bean bag filler) leads to a $23 valuation, giving the host some satisfaction.
• ▶ 12:51 The host identifies a king-size memory foam topper by feel; Pops becomes the first customer, but the host ultimately gives it to him for free while still adding $100 to the running total.
• ▶ 13:43 He uses the Amazon app’s scan feature to identify items quickly: a two-stool set retailing for $76 (listed at $20) and later a four-piece brown leather bucket chair set retailing for $160 (priced at $100 for the set).
• ▶ 16:39 With four boxes left, he jokes that he’s becoming “the chair guy,” confident the bucket chairs will sell fast.
• ▶ 16:51 The host discovers a heavy box containing a brand-new gray rolling chair, which retails for $280 and could sell for $200 (or $180 lowball).
• ▶ 18:30 He unboxes a bamboo-branded mattress marked "Extra large grade," possibly king-size, and sets a conservative resale value of $50.
• ▶ 19:04 With two boxes left, he identifies another chair and jokes about starting an office business, valuing this one at $30.
• ▶ 19:27 Connor has a good feeling about the final box and is thrilled to open it, declaring himself “the chair guy” as he finds chairs.
• ▶ 19:53 Wrapping up, Connor says they did “pretty good” overall and shows the money counter, estimating they came “pretty close to breaking even” until he totals everything.
• ▶ 20:11 He asks viewers to smash subscribe, requests feedback on more pallets, and signs off with “Deuces.”
