How To Become A Milwaukee Tool Rep

Posted by u/[deleted] ii years agone

Where are people getting bulk Milwaukee power tools?

Not sure about your area but there are several people on FB selling a lot of Milwaukee tools - too many to justify someone merely getting rid of their old stuff. They are typically lightly used but signal they work. Same for Dewalt ability tools. Perhaps they are buying refurbished lots from somewhere? Whatsoever ideas where the tools come up from?

I practice this. They're overstock/returns from a large box. I have a source I found that auctions pallets of them off. I actually but purchased 4 more than yesterday and so Im stoked to see what all goodies I have to sell. Loving it so far

level 2

I have a local source for them equally well. Same matter, overstock and render pallets. I don't sell tools though.

level 2

I promise you become a proficient ROI. I work for a pawn banker and tools are a nightmare for me. Naturally they come in well used and naturally the sellers want stupid money for them, but I e'er end maxim to them to expect on my retail flooring and run into all of the tools I have only sitting at that place not selling even after going through several markdowns (anything older than 90 days is like cancer to united states of america). Of form they e'er tell me how their tools are meliorate than what I have in stock and I'll sell them super fast (this makes my blood boil). I usually ask them if they're so confident that they will sell and then fast why are they here and they ordinarily say they've had them for sale for weeks with no bites (wtf).

level two

Do you get to inspect the items when you purchase them or are you buying information technology blindly? Also if information technology'southward non to much to ask practice you get the pallets off online websites or is information technology local? You don't take to tell me whatever actual website names.

level 2

How did you find a source I demand ane just for a business I'g getting invested into lol

level ii

What is the hookup. Plenty of buyers out at that place so others can become a piece of the pie.

level 1

1 has to be careful with these liquidation companies. I once placed a bid and won. It was a 6 hr drive for me. Well, i twenty-four hour period before the auction they sent me a manifest where I noticed that instead of 200 items there was simply 140 packaged. I contacted support and they said some bullshit like "our quality balls team extracted the broken pieces and the ones that weren't upwardly to our standards. I checked their new auctions and sure enough, they listed threescore item lot consisting exactly of the items I bought. So I told them to fuck off and got my coin back. One has to be extremely careful when buying without inspecting the lot. The company that did this was selling out of Bentonville AR.

level 2

That'due south straight upwards fraud (or theft possibly) isn't information technology? Disgraceful!

level 1

Buying private pallets can be a crap shoot. I've washed generally well on them. I've washed much meliorate on whole truckload purchases directly from the distribution heart. Y'all withal get junk simply they oasis't been picked through even so.

level 2

How practice you buy a truckload lol. Do you not accept to be a licensed seller?

level ane

Well I live in Milwaukee and I just step outside my flat and pick em off the copse

edit: I have no idea

level 1

The people I see on FB effectually here selling them are and then fucking stupid that they can't fifty-fifty manage to course a sentence that makes sense in the mail service, so I dubiousness they are ownership pallets or getting these tools legit

My best estimate is tweakers stealing shit and and trying to go meth money on FB for it.

level 1

Some may be legit. The residue are stolen from a work truck or chore site, or retail store by an employee or theft ring. Shuffled around the country and so no one can tie any specific tool to any particular place.

level 1

I know where to get them, and I'm not telling.

Yet, the seller stipulates that you aren't allowed to sell them online. Facebook'due south probably safe, but ebay and amazon would be a nono.

level 2

Fuck a seller trying to tell me where I can sell after I buy something. Its mine I can exercise whatsoever I want with it. Not similar they are e'er going to know anyway. It would go up in a friend'southward account. And to brand it legal merely in case all i have practice it sell the shit to him for a dollar and its done.

level ane

It was called a direct liquidation auctions I think. What pissed me off the most is I had to rent a box truck, make arrangements for the guy to come with me to give me a paw. And and then only like that they pull out a stunt like that. I'm so glad I discovered the switcheroo earlier I collection 7 or 8 hours. I spoke with a few folks on a Facebook back then and they complained about similar situations where they cherry pick good items out of those lots and either sell them themselves via eBay/amz channels or simply re-list them. Because information technology'southward an auction they can accept or sent whatever bids its in a terms of service but in my example they simply took the well-nigh valuable pieces and relisted them as a separate lot afterward I already paid for the lot.

level 1

Around Christmas and after you ever see power tools in the thrift stores. That's where I get mine.
