Ballpark — what is actually in there
Nobody has measured pallet height or units per pallet. Both counts are estimates built on assumptions. Move the levers and see what the deal is worth.
Retail/unit $125.16 is the mean across 2,816 SKUs in the Vevor links workbook — the largest sample available, and within $7 of both the embedded catalogue ($124.56) and the 159 Woot PO SKUs ($118.51). At 30 units x 5,000 pallets that is $18.77M, against the seller's $16M. Set it back to 118.51 for the conservative case.
Firefly palletises the floor stock (Michael, 2026-09-14). That removes the §2.1/§6.1 "loaded pallets" problem and the labour with it — but §6.2 only commits them to "ordinary staging, forklift loading", so get the palletising said in writing before signing. Restacking the collapsed pallets in the videos is their cost, not yours.
Units/pallet 30 is measured off the photos (48 shots, Drive folder, 2026-09-03). Three archetypes, roughly a third each: dense ~65 units (IMG_8136 boxes are labelled QTY 1 PCS, 6.4kg, 51.5x46.5x11cm = 0.93 cu ft, 4 per layer, ~17 layers), medium ~22, large ~4 (IMG_8020 food warmer 57x48x78cm, 8 to a pallet). Weighted that is 29.6 units and $3,513/pallet, so 5,000 pallets is ~$17.6M — the seller's $16M is defensible and mildly conservative. Price the archetypes separately and it reaches ~$20M. Shares are counted from photos, not floor area, so treat as +/- a third.
Kenny confirmed 2026-09-14 the crated goods are NOT in the 5,000 / $16M estimate. Nothing in §2.1 excludes them — they are loaded pallets of Vevor product — so they come with the deal at no extra price. Counted 2026-09-15: 5 trailer loads = 130 pallet-equivalents at 26/trailer, so the default is now 130 rather than 0. That is a seller-stated load count, not an RDW count — set it back to 0 to see the deal without them.
Ship schedule
Savannah sort floor
Scan, count, bucket. Two lanes: WOOT goes on a transfer to Harrison or Monroe, WHOLESALE rides out on the next unmanifested truck. Nothing gets priced or listed here.
Two photos, same as your wife shot them.
Close on the white label so the code reads — that code is the VEVOR SKU.
Then back off for one shot of the whole stack so it can count.
Tested on 26 real pallet photos: 73% decoded a code. No listing, no pricing, no lotting here.
Two buckets and onto the next pallet.
Two lanes on the floor: WOOT and WHOLESALE.
Harrison vs Monroe, and whether a wholesale pallet ends up on a truck or in your own auction,
both get decided downstream — not here.
Nothing but the lane is set here. Grade and condition are recorded at lotting, where
somebody has the item in their hands; whether a wholesale pallet goes on a truck, into the
auction or to the bin store is decided when it is allocated, not when it is scanned.
The throttle is not a profit line. Woot nets ~39.6% of MSRP and wholesale ~15%, so Woot
wins on any pallet whose real recovery beats 15%. At 75 cu ft a pallet needs —
to cover landed cost on Woot but — to cover it on wholesale — so almost every
wholesale pallet is sold at a loss to free capacity or cash.
The errors are not symmetric. Wrongly wholesaling a good pallet costs about
25× what wrongly sending a bad one to Woot does, because the worst measured
recoveries in the 159-SKU sample (13.3% and 15.8%) are roughly equal to wholesale, not
worse than it. So the default sits low at $15/cu ft: when in doubt, send it to Woot.
Raise the throttle only when Woot cannot absorb the volume or you need cash sooner than the
channel pays.

Channel performance
Projections use 44.4% net on Woot — retail-weighted from 159 matched SKUs on Firefly's own Woot POs — and 32.5% on the weathered outside pallets, against $3,200/pallet retail and the landed break-even on the Dash, including unquoted freight. Wholesale at 15% of retail is $480 and loses money on every pallet. The recovery rate is now measured; the freight, the open-box rate and everything above $500 retail are still estimates. This table is what you are actually getting. When they disagree, this one is right.

Two sorts off the same catalog. Pick the lane, and it tells the crew what to do with each SKU.
Measured SKUs
Real vendor payouts off Firefly's own Woot purchase orders — not modelled. Everything below the search box is the catalogue estimate.
No match does not mean no value. Kenny's sheet is a subset — the $450 high-pressure compressor in your warehouse is not on it. Unknown SKU with a high unit count per pallet: stop and look it up before it ships.
Throughput is the whole game
Woot nets a measured 44.4% of retail, less Kenny's 3% — about $1,378 on an indoor pallet against the landed break-even on the Dash. Temu is quoted at 55% less 5%, which would be ~$1,672. Wholesale at 15% is $480 and loses money on every pallet. What you earn is set by how many units you can push, not by price.
