What a pallet of electronics actually sells for

Split the 18,331 closed electronics lots by shape and two populations fall out. One is single-item auctions, the phone or the laptop sold on its own, which local auction houses run by the thousand. The other is multi-unit lots: pallets, gaylords and truckloads of mixed electronics. Both turn up for the same searches, and only one of them is the pallet a reseller means.

Medians over the 90 days ending 13 September 2026. For the multi-unit half, the middle 50% closed between $336 and $4,375 per lot, and between $18.43 and $220.00 per unit.

The median multi-unit electronics lot held 20 units. The mean is 117, which says less about a typical pallet and more about the truckload listings dragging it upward; the median is the honest center here. At the median per-unit figure of $64.29, the middle of this market is small electronics and accessories, not rows of big-screen TVs.

Condition is the other half of the picture. Condition labels are each marketplace’s own, canonicalized across the nine platforms, and this is the mix the 13,005 multi-unit lots closed in:

New-condition stock, the New through Shelf Pulls row alone, is 1,671 of 13,005 lots (13%). The bulk of this market is returns, graded devices and salvage.

These are hammer prices. The buyer premium, tax and freight arrive on top, and freight on an electronics pallet can rival the bid itself: what 23,105 real freight quotes show is the measured version of that half of the bill. The all-in arithmetic, component by component, is in liquidation pallet costs explained.

Where a marketplace publishes a retail or MSRP figure with the lot, the close can be read against it. 6,716 of the 13,005 multi-unit electronics lots (52%) carry one, and on those lots the median close was 12.6% of the sticker, with the middle half between 5.9% and 21.8%.

Sticker figures are the seller’s own label, often the original launch price of a device that has since been replaced, and the units behind them are mostly the returns and graded stock above. Read the ratio as how the market priced the pallet, not as a discount anyone can bank.

The two biggest sources price nothing alike against the sticker: Liquidation.com’s electronics supply closes at a median 8.6% of its published figure, B-Stock’s at 22.8%. Different storefronts, different mixes, different seller contracts; the category average hides all of it.

Only 626 of the 13,005 lots (5%) carry a shipping quote in the archive, almost all of them B-Stock lots where the checkout generates one. On those, the median quote was $843, and the median quote came to 63.8% of the lot’s final bid. Freight on this category is not a rounding error.

Quotes are computed per buyer account and per destination, so these 626 describe one buyer’s lanes, not a rate card. The shipping-costs guide walks the four-step method for getting a real number before bidding, and the free pallet calculator folds it into your landed cost per unit.

Closed multi-unit electronics lots by marketplace, same 90-day window. B-Stock and Liquidation.com together account for 12,298 of the 13,005 lots, 95% of the multi-unit electronics supply we tracked:

888 Lots, DirectLiquidation and Via Trading are fixed-price storefronts: their listings carry no auction end date, so a "close" there is the listing coming down at its asking price, not a bid-winning moment.

The live version of this table is the electronics category page, which lists the electronics lots open right now across the same marketplaces.

For context, the same measurement run across every category in the archive, all lot shapes mixed. The electronics row reads $500 per median lot here precisely because the single-item half is folded back in; the pallet-only median is the $1,475 above.

100,497 closed lots across 17 categories in the 90 days ending 13 September 2026. The monthly medians per category live on the price-trends pages, the marketplace-level numbers on the statistics page.

• "Final bid" is the bid at our last scan before the lot left the feed. It can be a no-bid asking price: 3,388 of the 12,641 multi-unit lots with a bid counter on record (27%) showed zero bids at that last scan, so their figure is the asking or minimum price, not a contested close.
• Every figure is bid only. Buyer premium, tax and freight come on top, and none of them is in these medians.
• One lot counts once. The archive keeps several snapshots of a long-running listing; these medians are computed over one canonical record per lot, the last one.
• The sticker-price ratios cover only the 52% of lots that publish a sticker figure, and the sticker itself is the seller’s own number.
• The window is 15 June to 13 September 2026. A different 90 days prices a different market.
