Restock Day: Event-Based. New inventory is added following major warehouse or corporate contract clearances.

Pickup Window: Strict 3-business-day window to collect items after auction close; items are forfeited after 7 days.

Payment Rules: All purchases over $250 must be paid via wire transfer or direct deposit.

Buyer’s Premium: A standard 15% fee is added to all winning auction lots.

Industrial Specialists: ARA is the go-to for flippers looking for "heavy" items like industrial ovens, machinery, power tools, and even vehicles—not just small retail boxes.

Trust Factor: ARA holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. In the often-unregulated liquidation world, this signal is worth its weight in gold for the professional buyer realm.

Consulting Services: ARA offers one-on-one training for new flippers looking to build their own eBay or Amazon stores. This makes them a valuable "resource", not just a wholesaler.

Restock Day: Daily. New loads from major retail contracts are processed and listed nightly.

Pricing Transparency: They provide a proprietary tool showing the sales history for every pallet so you can bid with confidence.

Payment Options: Accepts Credit Cards, Bank Wires, and even Lines of Credit for high-volume buyers.

Vetting Note: Requires a Reseller Certificate (Tax ID) to register and bid on their direct-contract retailer pallets.

Loading Logistics: Direct Liquidation pallets are often massive. Their Renaissance Dr location has loading docks, but if the user is a small flipper, they must ensure their vehicle can handle a full gaylord box (typically 3ft to 6ft tall).

Manifest Analysis: Suggest users click the "Download Manifest" link on the Direct Liquidation site before visiting the warehouse. This allows them to run sample SKUs through an eBay fee calculator to estimate their net profit before they bid.

The "Assurance" Tip: Some categories (like refurbished electronics) may come with limited warranties, which is rare in the "as-is" liquidation world and a huge trust factor for buyers.

Restock Day: Daily New Arrivals. They maintain a rotating inventory of used equipment arrivals five days a week.

Rental Pricing: Mobile kitchen/food trailer rentals start at $1,500 per month.  

Build Costs: Custom food trailers range from $30k–$75k, with food trucks starting at $50k.

Vetting Note: Family-owned and operated; highly rated for Marco’s hands-on expertise in custom fabrication and health code compliance.

The "Code Compliance" Edge: Golden Bar is the go-to resource for Aspiring Vegas food entrepreneurs because they specialize in modifications to help used vehicles pass Southern Nevada Health District inspections.

Custom Fabrication: Golden B&R Equipment has "In-Shop" design capabilities. If a flipper finds a piece of equipment that doesn't fit their truck, Golden Bar can perform custom stainless-steel fabrication to make it work.

Rental Arbitrage: It is advised for users to look into their long-term rental options. This is a massive value for new business owners who have the talent to cook but lack the $50k upfront capital to buy a truck outright.

Restock Day: Daily. New auction listings are posted 24/7, with hundreds of lots typically closing nightly at staggered times.

Bidding Format: All inventory is sold via online auction; no in-person bidding is available on-site.

Pickup Rules: You have a strict 7-day window to schedule and complete a pickup after an auction win. Missing your appointment can result in a $200 no-show fee or forfeiture of the lot.

Vetting Note: Backed by Liquidity Services (NASDAQ: LQDT), ensuring 20+ years of institutional transparency and secure payment processing.

Manifest Analysis/SKU Hack: Nearly every auction comes with a detailed manifest (inventory list). Run SKUs through an eBay fee calculator before bidding to confirm that the "Estimated Retail Value" listed matches the actual current street price.

Pickup Arbitrage: Contact the Alexander Road facility for local flippers, picking up items in person is the ultimate "cheat code" to avoid freight shipping fees ($200+ per pallet) that often wipe out the profit margins for out-of-state buyers.

Loading Logistics: Pickups at this facility typically require a dock-height vehicle (box truck or trailer) for larger lots. If they arrive in a personal vehicle for a large pallet, they may be required to break it down and load it themselves under strict warehouse time limits.

Pickup Rules: Local pickup for Las Vegas orders is typically arranged through their regional logistics partners. Items must be collected within 10 days of purchase to avoid restocking fees (30%). Buyers of heavy items like lateral files or conference tables should bring a dock-height truck or professional movers; however, they do offer professional delivery and assembly services for a per-man-hour rate.

Hub Insider Tip: This is the best source for "Grade A" corporate furniture that looks brand new. If you are a reseller, skip the individual chairs and look for their "Bulk Lot" cubicles or matching office sets. They frequently liquidate high-end brands like Herman Miller and Steelcase. Also, use their "Free CAD Space Planning" service—if you are furnishing a new warehouse office, they will literally design the layout for you for free using the liquidated assets you buy.
