What's inside

What's inside an appliance lot

Appliance lots split into two different businesses. Small appliances (air fryers, blenders, coffee makers, countertop microwaves, toaster ovens, vacuums, fans and space heaters) arrive boxed, either stacked on a standard pallet or loose in a gaylord, and a pallet can hold dozens of units depending on carton size. Major appliances (refrigerators, ranges, washers, dryers, dishwashers and freezers) take up a whole pallet position each, strapped down and usually still in the carton or on the factory skid. Price the two halves of a mixed load separately, because the buyers, the testing and the trucks are different.

Most loads come out of big-box retail return and overstock programs: customer returns, units refused at the door because of a dent, display models pulled during a floor reset, freight-damaged cartons and discontinued colors or model years. On a manifested lot, the model number on each line is the most useful field you get. It lets you pull the spec sheet, the parts diagram, the fuel type and the current resale price before you place a bid.

Scratch and dent is a grade of its own in this category. It means a unit with cosmetic damage (a dented side panel, a scuffed door, a cracked trim piece) that is described by its appearance, not by a function test. Two Bro Sales has no separate scratch-and-dent condition code, so sellers list these units as New or Like new and name the damage in the title, photos or manifest notes. Read where the damage sits. A dent on a side that will end up against a cabinet or another machine costs your customer little; a crease across a stainless door or a cracked glass cooktop is a different product at a different price. Dents that reach a seam, a hinge or the back panel near the compressor deserve a closer look, because they can hide damage underneath.

Weight is the number that changes your plan. North American Van Lines puts the average refrigerator at 100 to 300 pounds, with some reaching 400, and Allied notes that even a small washer or dryer weighs around 180 pounds while a big one can reach 400. A pallet of laundry pairs or a stack of over-the-range microwaves is a forklift or pallet-jack job, not a hand-carry job, so confirm the seller's dock and loading equipment before you bid.

Installation parts are where appliance returns lose money quietly. GE Appliances notes that electric dryer power cords are sold separately because wiring codes vary from state to state and even city to city, so a dryer with no cord is normal, not a shortage. Allied's moving guide says most washer makers include transit bolts to hold the drum steady on the road; a returned washer without them needs blocking before you haul it again. Check manifests and photos for the pieces that are slow or expensive to replace: range anti-tip brackets, dishwasher installation kits, refrigerator water-line and ice-maker kits, propane conversion kits, shelves, crisper drawers, door bins, oven racks and the manual.

Truckloads in this category usually mean one source and one product family: a trailer of laundry pairs, a load of countertop electrics, or a mixed load of display and returned major appliances. Newly approved buyers start with $2,500 of open bidding exposure, which the Two Bro Sales team raises as paid history builds, so most buyers work up to a truckload after a few smaller appliance lots have been paid for and collected.

What appliance lots sold for, by condition

Median winning bid as a share of seller-declared manifest retail, by condition, from paid sales from the last 365 days.

Not enough sales yet: we publish a median only after at least 10 manifested lots from at least 3 sellers sell in a group.

See how the figures are built on liquidation pallet prices on Two Bro Sales.

How it’s calculated: winning bid (hammer) ÷ seller-declared manifest retail, for manifested lots with a paid order only. Buyer and seller fees are excluded. A group is shown only with at least 10 sales from at least 3 sellers, and no seller above 50% of them. Data as of Oct 16, 2026. Past results don’t guarantee resale value.

By condition

Condition shapes what a appliance lot is worth and how much work it takes to resell. What each condition code usually means in this category:

New

New and overstock appliance lots

New appliance lots are overstock, discontinued model years and freight-damaged cartons whose unit inside may be untouched. Scratch-and-dent units often appear under this code with the damage named in the title or manifest, so price the cosmetic hit unit by unit rather than across the whole lot.

Open lots in this condition Overstock pallets

Like new

Like-new and open-box appliance lots

Like new usually means open-box and display units: complete and working by the condition code, but often missing the carton, manual or install kit. For major appliances, ask whether a display unit was ever connected to water or gas.

Customer returns

Customer return appliance pallets

Returned appliances mix remorse returns that work, units refused at the door for a dent, and real failures. Plan for a defect rate, set up a bench-test area with a 240-volt outlet for electric ranges and dryers, and expect some missing racks, cords and kits.

Shelf pulls

Shelf pull appliance pallets

Shelf pulls here are mostly small appliances cleared for a season or a planogram reset: holiday-color mixers, last year's coffee makers, summer fans pulled in the fall. Worn or stickered packaging is the usual issue, so judge the box condition in the photos against your sales channel.

Salvage

Salvage appliance lots for parts and repair

Salvage appliances are sold for parts and repair: cracked cooktops, failed compressors, dead control boards. Refurbishers buy them for motors, boards, glass and doors. Anything that still holds refrigerant has to have it recovered before scrapping, and that is a cost to price in.

Mixed

Mixed-condition appliance lots

Mixed appliance lots combine grades on one pallet or trailer. Sellers must code a lot with a material share of worse units as the worse grade or as Mixed, so read the per-line notes and price the weakest part of the load first.

Before you bid

Appliance pallet pitfalls to check

  • Buying weight you can't move

    A lot that looks cheap per unit costs more than it saves if it needs a second trip, a rented liftgate truck or extra hands. North American Van Lines rates appliance dollies at 600 to 800 pounds and says an especially large refrigerator can take three or four people. Ask the seller how they load, and confirm a forklift or dock before you send a box truck.

  • Missing cords, kits and racks

    Dryers normally come without a power cord, but a range without its anti-tip bracket, a dishwasher without its install kit or a refrigerator without shelves and drawers is a real deduction. Unless the manifest says the accessories are included, assume the parts bag is gone and price the replacements per unit.

  • Laying refrigerators down

    GE Appliances says French-door, bottom-freezer, compact and built-in refrigerators must stay upright in transit. If a top-freezer or side-by-side model spent more than a day on its side, GE says to stand it upright for 24 hours before running it. Strap fridges upright on your own truck and don't bench-test them the same afternoon.

  • Refrigerant and disposal costs

    Units you can't fix still cost money to get rid of. EPA rules make the final disposer responsible for recovering refrigerant from refrigerators, freezers, window units and dehumidifiers, and a scrap yard may ask for a signed statement saying who recovered it and when. Give salvage and returns lots a disposal line in your math, not just a resale line.

  • Fuel type and recalls

    A gas range or dryer may be set up for natural gas or propane, and conversion kits are model-specific, so a load of the wrong fuel type for your market can sit. Look up model numbers on the CPSC recall list as well: recalled items are prohibited on Two Bro Sales, and CPSC's resellers guide says it is illegal to sell any recalled product.

Warning signs that apply to any pallet seller are in the buyer guide’s red flags.

Local pickup in metro Atlanta

You collect at the seller's warehouse in metro Atlanta, Georgia. Pay within 2 business days to get your pickup code, then bring it and a photo ID to the dock. Your own truck or carrier is welcome; Two Bro Sales doesn’t ship or broker freight.

Appliances are the category where local pickup saves the most money and takes the most planning. You collect from the seller's metro Atlanta warehouse during their pickup window, once the invoice is paid and your pickup code is released. Bring the code, a photo ID for whoever signs, ratchet straps, moving blankets and an appliance dolly. For full pallets, confirm the seller loads with a forklift, and bring a liftgate truck or a trailer if you will unload without one. Two Bro Sales doesn't broker freight, but your own carrier can collect with the pickup code; tell the driver the refrigerators ride upright.

FAQ

Appliance pallet questions

What does scratch and dent mean on an appliance lot?

Cosmetic damage, such as a dented panel, a scuffed door or cracked trim, on a unit listed as New or Like new. It describes appearance, not a function test. Two Bro Sales has no separate scratch-and-dent code, so read the title, photos and manifest notes for where the damage is and how many units carry it.

Do returned dryers come with power cords?

Usually not, and that is normal. GE Appliances explains that electric dryer cords are sold separately because wiring codes differ by state and city, and the right cord depends on whether the outlet is three-prong or four-prong. Budget one cord per electric dryer unless the manifest says it is included.

Can refrigerators from a pallet be hauled on their side?

Only some styles, and it is better not to. GE Appliances says French-door, bottom-freezer, compact and built-in models must stay upright; top-freezer and side-by-side models can lie on a specific side, then need upright time before running, up to 24 hours after more than a day down.

Are air fryers and microwaves listed here or under home goods?

Here. Countertop and kitchen appliances, from air fryers and coffee makers to microwaves, belong to the Appliances category on Two Bro Sales. Cookware, dinnerware, bedding and décor sit under home goods. When a seller lists a mixed kitchen pallet, the manifest lines show how much of each is on it.

What can I claim on a manifested appliance lot?

Claims are open for 48 hours after pickup on manifested lots only. A shortage against the manifest becomes claimable at 5% of manifest retail, and the remedy is a pro-rata refund. Lots are otherwise sold as-is, so a returned unit missing a shelf or cord usually fits its condition code. Count units and check model numbers before you leave the dock.
