What a pallet of apparel actually sells for

Split the 28,423 closed apparel lots by published unit count and the pallet-shaped supply separates from single-item listings. Multi-unit means two or more published units; it can describe a small bundle, a pallet or a truckload. A category label alone does not tell you which one you are bidding on.

Window: 2026-04-22 to 2026-10-23, measured 2026-10-23. Bid and per-unit medians use the 14,655 priced multi-unit lots and 9,360 priced single-item lots; unit-count medians use all 15,358 multi-unit and 9,536 single-item lots. For single-item lots, per-unit price is the lot price by construction.

The remaining 3,529 closed apparel lots had no published unit count; 3,257 were priced, with a $14 median final bid, and sit outside the shape split.

Across the 14,655 priced multi-unit apparel lots from 2026-04-22 to 2026-10-23, the middle 50% closed between $176 and $2,376 per lot, and between $1.10 and $4.50 per unit. The $875 lot median is a center inside that spread, not a quote for a particular pallet.

Across the 9,360 priced single-item apparel lots in the same window, the middle 50% closed between $8.80 and $30.00. Folding those listings into a pallet comparison changes the question. Start with the published count and contents before comparing prices.

Each eligible lot's per-unit figure divides its last observed bid by its published unit count, then the median is taken across those figures. Dividing the lot median by the unit-count median does not recover the per-unit median: those are separate summaries, and unit counts include unpriced lots.

The platform split below covers priced apparel lots on platforms with at least 200 priced apparel lots, from 2026-04-22 to 2026-10-23. Each row gives its own priced denominator; smaller channels remain outside the table.

Measured 2026-10-23. Platform medians mix lot shapes; read them with the shape split above. For fixed-price 888 Lots, the recorded figure is the last observed asking price before departure, which may reflect a purchase or a delisting, never a confirmed sale.

QuickBidz has a $2 median across 1,502 priced apparel lots; B-Stock has a $1,670 median across 8,820. The same category spans bin-sale singles, manifested pallets and truckload shelf-pulls. Each channel brings a different lot shape, so this is a supply-mix comparison rather than a ranking of where an equivalent pallet costs least.

For the wider channel populations, read the B-Stock study and the Liquidation.com study. The category sibling, what a pallet of electronics actually sells for, uses the same separation between single items and multi-unit supply, with its own dated window.

Final bid means the last observed bid before the lot left the feed, possibly a no-bid ask, never a confirmed sale. All bid figures are bid-only, before buyer premium, taxes and freight or pickup costs. The medians describe the observed population; they are not bid targets.

For a specific apparel lot, read the manifest, condition and size run alongside the published unit count. Add the applicable premium, taxes and freight or pickup costs to your bid before dividing by that count. A low bid per published unit does not establish how many pieces you can resell.

Start with the apparel aisle for current supply, use archive statistics for broader context, and check recent closings with lot shape in view. For access to the live listing tools, see pricing.
