![]() McConnell and Miller will be installing additional signage at Spokane Bins this week to assist customers with navigating the store and its concept. “We started looking into it and basically said, ‘What if we tried it out?’” “It’s kind of a TikTok trend,” Miller said. McConnell found out about liquidation pallets on social media and that’s what sparked the idea to open Spokane Bins. Liquidation pallets have also become a popular trend for YouTube and TikTok influencers who “unbox” the items on social media. Liquidation bin stores have gained traction in recent years as big-box retailers forged partnerships with liquidators that auction off pallets and truckloads of returned items and unwanted inventory to resellers. Other popular items included a self-cleaning cat litter box and a hobby train set, McConnell said. “We individually price the items because we get less of them.”Ī customer last weekend snagged a Creality Ender 5 Pro 3D Printer for $50 from the general merchandise section. ![]() “These can be laptops, air fryers, Roomba vacuum cleaners, furniture and huge Lego sets,” McConnell said. ![]() General merchandise products typically come at a higher cost and are individually priced between $15 to $50, McConnell said. Items drop to $8 on Saturdays, $4 on Sundays and are sold for as low as $1 on Mondays. Products in the liquidation bins start at $12 on Fridays. “It can be anything from beauty products, pet care products, toys, phone cases and electronic accessories,” Miller said. The pallets of items for liquidation bins arrive unsorted and feature a treasure trove of products in like-new or unused condition. Each section contains products from separate truckloads and pallets. The store is split into two sections: liquidation bins and general merchandise. Miller said Spokane Bins is unable to reveal the e-commerce retailer’s identity due to a contractual agreement. Spokane Bins purchases the pallets of items from liquidators that obtain the products from the “largest online retailer in the world.” Spokane Bins features a fresh batch of merchandise every week from 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Friday through Monday. I hope that people thought (the store) was cool and got a lot of really good deals.” “I didn’t anticipate the amount of people and how popular it would be. The store generated significant interest from customers who formed a line out the door every day over the weekend, said Sharon McConnell, who co-owns the store with sister Michelle Miller and business partner Kosta Vasilenko. The liquidation bin store, which sells customer returns from a well-known e-commerce retailer based in Seattle, opened Saturday at 14 E. A 3D printer, a Samsung computer monitor and a Roomba vacuum cleaner were among several items shoppers picked up last weekend for a deep discount at Spokane Bins, a newly opened return resale store.
