liquidation-roi — launch kit

1-liner

Vision-extracts pallet manifests + comp-prices items + suggests bid ceiling for B-stock / Liquidation.com auctions.

Tweet hook

95% of pallet auctions: junk. Eyeballing manifests = 30 min/pallet for nothing.

Vision-extract + comp lookup turns it into 30 SECONDS.

Operator math: 20% bidding mistake on $10K pallet = -$2K. This avoids that.

Subject: avoid the $2K bidding mistake

Hi {first} — saw your pallet flipping.

Built a tool that vision-extracts the manifest + comp-prices each item
+ suggests rational bid ceiling. 30 sec per pallet vs 30 min by hand.

liquidation-roi

Liquidation pallet ROI scorer. Vision-extracts the manifest from a photo, comps each item against eBay/Amazon sold prices, returns the rational max-bid for a target margin.

Pricing

• Operator-as-owner $0; you keep all flip margin
• Alerts subscription $99-499/mo (we score new pallets daily)
• DFY 50/50 split on flips (we score, you buy + flip)

Why it works

• B-stock and Liquidation.com auctions clear thousands of pallets daily
• Most resellers eyeball manifests; smart ones model expected resale
• A 20% mistake on bid = -$2,000 on a $10K pallet
• Vision extraction + comp lookup turns manifest review from 30 min to 30 sec

Roadmap

• eBay Marketplace Insights API for comps (auto-lookup per item)
• Amazon Keepa integration for multi-source comping
• Per-category unsellable-pct heuristics (electronics 30% vs apparel 5%)
• Image-recognition for items NOT explicitly listed in manifest
• Email alerts on +ROI pallets in saved searches
