Episode notes

Shannon Jean is back, and this time he is screen sharing liquidation auctions and walking through exactly what he buys, what he skips, and why. Ben and Jon watch in real time as deals close, from pallets of appliances selling for a fraction of retail to seasonal inventory being liquidated for pennies on the dollar.

Shannon breaks down his sourcing strategy in detail. How to evaluate manifests, calculate landed costs including freight, and spot boring high margin products most people ignore like toilets, hinges, and lighting fixtures. He explains how buyers move bulk inventory fast by working with contractors and local buyers, and why relationships matter more than platforms.

He also shares real outcomes from his mastermind, including operators who scaled from small flips into physical resale businesses and others who pulled five figure profits from single pallets by buying the right inventory at the right price.
