What Amazon return pallets close for (2026)

These category medians cover the same Amazon US storefront population and April 25 to October 21, 2026 window, measured October 22, 2026. Lot counts are the category populations; per-unit medians use lots with a unit count. The categories shown do not exhaust the population.

Final bid is the last observed bid, possibly a no-bid ask, never a confirmed sale price. Figures are bid-only, before buyer premium and freight. Measured October 22, 2026 over closed Amazon US storefront lots from April 25 to October 21, 2026. Category-specific unit-count denominators are unavailable in this snapshot; the overall per-unit median covers 1,161 lots.

A category's median lot bid and median bid per unit answer different questions. The first describes the lot total; the second describes the bid divided by the published unit count on each lot. Dividing the two medians does not recover a typical unit count. Neither figure tells you the condition or contents of a specific pallet.

This snapshot is limited to the official Amazon US storefront. It does not price every B-Stock seller or every source of Amazon returns. The statistics page provides broader archive context, while the closings reports offer dated reads of the wider market with their own populations.

The official storefront adds a flat 10% buyer premium to the winning bid. Freight is buyer-arranged from the fulfillment center shipping the lot, so get a quote for that origin and your destination before setting a bid limit. Neither cost is included in the medians above. The Amazon Liquidation Auctions guide explains the storefront terms and buying process.

For a specific lot, add the bid, buyer premium and freight, then divide by the published unit count. Keep that calculation separate from the bid-only per-unit figures in this study. A missing freight quote leaves part of the cost unresolved.

• Confirm that the seller is the official Amazon US storefront, then read the manifest, condition description, published unit count and shipping origin. The Amazon return pallet buying walkthrough covers those checks.
• Use the B-Stock platform page to explore current B-Stock supply, then verify the storefront and current terms on the original listing. B-Stock includes sellers beyond Amazon.
• Check the current bid and unit count, add the storefront premium, and obtain your own freight quote. Compare lots with their contents and condition in view, rather than treating an archive median as a bid target.
