Clothing liquidation pallets on Two Bro Sales are timed online auctions of new-with-tags overstock, shelf pulls and returned apparel and footwear from big-box retail programs, listed by independent liquidators. They are not used-clothing bales. Bidding is open to verified business buyers only, and lots are picked up at the seller's warehouse in metro Atlanta.
Business buyers only: resale certificate (Georgia Form ST-5 or your state’s equivalent) required.
No clothing liquidation pallets are open for bidding right now. Most sellers schedule auctions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 7 pm Eastern; each auction shows its own times.
Retail apparel liquidation is a different supply chain from used-clothing bales. Bales are donated and secondhand textiles, graded and sold by weight into thrift and export markets. The lots in this category come out of retail programs instead: new overstock, garments pulled from the sales floor, and items customers bought and sent back. If you want vintage, or bales sold by the pound, this is the wrong category.
Apparel is packed one of three ways. Gaylords (pallet-sized cardboard boxes) of loose garments are the cheapest per piece and the slowest to sort. Boxed lots and case packs keep sizes and styles together, which makes counting and listing faster. Hanging goods on racks or in wardrobe boxes cost more but are close to floor-ready. Footwear is almost always boxed pairs on a pallet; a gaylord of loose shoes with no boxes is worth much less, because pairs get separated and laces go missing.
The size curve decides what you can actually sell. A load that is mostly XS and 3XL, or men's shoes in sizes 6 and 15, sells far slower than a balanced run of medium and large. Retail-program manifests often carry size and color in the item description; read them and count how much of the load sits in your customers' sizes before you set a maximum bid. Kids' clothing and outerwear follow their own calendar: coats and boots sell from fall into winter, swimwear and sandals in spring.
Tags are a pricing signal. New-with-tags (NWT) garments carry the original retail ticket and fetch the best resale price online. Shelf pulls and returns may have the ticket removed, a cut or marked brand label, store security tags or price stickers, and a marked label usually lowers what resale buyers will pay. The FTC Care Labeling Rule requires manufacturers and importers to attach care labels that stay legible for the garment's useful life, so a piece with its care label cut out loses the washing instructions your online buyers ask about.
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.

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.
Condition shapes what a clothing lot is worth and how much work it takes to resell. What each condition code usually means in this category:
New clothing is overstock and cancelled orders, often new with tags and sometimes still polybagged by size. This is the grade online resellers compete for, so check that the size spread suits your customers before bidding high.
Clothing shelf pulls are floor-set and seasonal stock: tried on, folded and refolded, sometimes with store tickets and security tags still attached. Expect handling wear, makeup marks on necklines and missing hangers.
Apparel returns are mostly fit returns, so many pieces are unworn, but plan on some worn, washed, stained or damaged items and missing tags. Footwear returns may have been tried on outdoors, arrive without boxes or come back as mismatched pairs.
Like new apparel is unworn or barely handled and complete, but often without the original ticket or bag. It suits bin stores and online listings priced below new-with-tags.
Salvage clothing (torn, stained or single shoes) has little retail value. Some buyers grade it for rag or textile recycling, which is a weight-based trade with thin margins; most resellers should pass on it.
Mixed apparel lots blend grades in one gaylord. Without a size and condition breakdown you are buying a sorting job, so price in your labor to sort, steam, hang and photograph every piece.
Fake apparel reaches the U.S. in volume: CBP's fiscal 2025 seizure statistics list 1,408,952 items of wearing apparel seized, and $92.1 million of seized footwear at MSRP. Counterfeits are prohibited on Two Bro Sales, but authenticate labels, stitching and boxes on premium brands before you list them, and don't sell anything you can't verify.
CPSC treats hood and neck drawstrings on children's upper outerwear in sizes 2T to 12 as a substantial product hazard. Children's sleepwear in sizes 0 through 14 must meet federal flammability standards unless it qualifies as tight-fitting or infant sizing. Check kids' hoodies, jackets and pajamas in returns and shelf-pull lots before they reach a rack.
A pallet's value sits in the middle of the size curve. Loads skewed to the extremes, single-size case packs or odd shoe sizes sit for months. Count the units in sellable sizes and bid on those, treating the rest as bin filler.
Loose apparel takes hours to sort, inspect, steam and hang. Put a labor cost per piece into your maximum bid; a cheap unmanifested gaylord can cost more to process than a boxed, manifested lot.
Textiles soak up water and odor. A load kept in a damp trailer or near smoke will smell, and mildew spreads in a closed box. Ask how and where the lot was stored, and open a few cartons at the dock before you load.
Warning signs that apply to any pallet seller are in the buyer guide’s red flags.
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.
Clothing is light for its volume. A gaylord of loose apparel is bulky but fits a box truck or an enclosed trailer, and boxed lots stack well. You pick up at the seller's metro Atlanta warehouse during the window they post, using the pickup code released after payment. A gaylord can't be hand-carried without unpacking it, so ask whether the seller loads with a forklift. Use an enclosed vehicle or a tarp, because wet cardboard and wet cotton ruin a load. Two Bro Sales doesn't broker freight; a carrier you book can collect with your code.
Every bidder is a business whose resale certificate a person has checked. Buyers pay Two Bro Sales, and the seller’s payout is held until pickup. Manifested lots can be claimed within 48 hours of pickup; as-is lots have no claim window.
