I have been looking at liquidation.com as a potential source, but in scrutinizing the various auctions, I have noticed you have to examine a bunch of things before you jump in and bid and some of the items after you look at the shipping and manifest, you wonder what were those people thinking when they were bidding. The titles can be very decieving and the shipping can be ridiculous. There is one company out of OK that is selling either shelf pulls or new clothes and while the pricing can seem reasonable, if you have dealt with others who have similar itemsand familiar with shipping on a lot that size you will see their shipping is easily 4X higher (average shipping on some of the lots is 60-85, theirs was 348). So while I cannot comment on an actual transaction from what I saw there, you have to examine the manifests carefully AND the shipping costs because these all factor into your ability to make money. If the manifest does not give a complete listing of what is in the auction or the title is misleading when compared to the manifest or the shipping is outrageous, steer clear. IMHO
There looks to be some good deals to be had though if you take the time to examine them carefully. I will let you know how my first transaction with them goes.
