In this Deep Dive, we're looking at some of the most interesting deals I found from a Pokémon card collection that exploded from a few thousand dollars to over $33,000, to truckloads of Costco furniture, Target chandeliers, Dick's Sporting Goods liquidation, gazebos, lighting, and even brand-new Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour apparel.But this episode isn't just about finding cheap inventory.It's about learning how experienced resellers think before they spend a dollar.I'll show you why reading manifests beats looking at pictures, how simple pricing mistakes can create huge opportunities, why exporting can open completely different markets, and the strategy I use to build buyer networks before buying inventory.One of the biggest lessons in this episode?Don't buy inventory first, find your buyer first.That one mindset shift can save you thousands of dollars and completely change your reselling business.If you're serious about liquidation, wholesale sourcing, auctions, or building a profitable resale business, this episode is packed with real examples and practical strategies you can use immediately.⚠️ DisclaimerThe auctions discussed in this episode may already be closed by the time you're watching. These videos are educational and are intended to help you learn how to analyze liquidation opportunities, evaluate manifests, understand pricing, and develop profitable sourcing strategies. Always do your own research before purchasing inventory.Follow me on my social media channels:X: https://x.com/ShannonJean Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonjean/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shannonjjean/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@shannonjean TikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@shannonjjeanSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5pVJgqKx0rCOqxqDFwqTlc Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mastermind-sessions/id1868545499Business Brain Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQKF439sG2VYIwKYfCoAtMQ
