Georgia man buys $15,950 pallet of Apple returns and is left surprised with what he finds

This Georgia man purchased a $15,950 pallet of Apple returns and was left stunned by what he received.

Fortunately, YouTuber Harrison Nevel only paid $1,383 for the loot.

But would the Apple products he’d paid for even be worthwhile?

There was a lot for the content creator to look through.

What this man discovered when he bought a pallet full of Apple returns

These were Apple products that been returned untested – the real deal, not fakes like the stuff one Utahn got his hands on.

So they were essentially like-new, meaning there was a lot of value sitting on that pallet.

But there was always the possibility that these products didn’t work, which would obviously throw a spanner in the works and deplete their monetary worth.

First up for closer inspection was a MacBook Air, which came to life with ease to reveal a perfect screen.

He estimated that this would go for $850 on a resale – already recouping a huge chunk of the $1,383 he’d spent on the pallet.

A profit was in sight!

Several accessories and goods were also on the pallet, including but not limited to USB-C to Lightning cables, Lightning to USB cables, Airtags, power adapters, iPad keyboards, and sealed Apple Watch bands.

While these might seem small, Nevel predicted they’d go for a good profit as they were very in demand.

Was it all good news with this pallet?

It was mostly good news, but there was some disappointment in store – particularly with regards to a box purporting to have a 16-inch MacBook Pro inside.

Upon further inspection, he found that it was filled with books and stickers, with no laptop in sight.

That was a big chunk of value lost.

All in all, he estimated that the whole pallet had a recoverable value of around $5,792, with all-in cost of around $2033.91, leaving him with a profit between $2,500 and $3,000, after fees, packing, and discounting were taken into account.

That sounds like a great payday.

It’ll be interesting to see if Nevel orders a pallet of untested products again.

Given that Apple is set to launch more than 20 new products this year, he could look to make a lot more money.

If he wanted to make some money, he could also look into buying Apple shares instead of iPhones.
