Yes, Amazon does have an online outlet formally and appropriately known as Amazon Outlet. If none of those speak to you, there are 12 other categories that may strike your fancy. Just like any other shopping event-Amazon Prime Day, holiday shopping, and more-the warehouse sale is organized into categories, but we're going to focus on the home-centric ones, like kitchen and dining, wall art, and bedding. In fact, we're convinced Amazon wants to keep it a beloved, insider-only secret, but we're happy to spill the beans because deals this good deserve their moment in the spotlight. Then, come Friday, the store does it all over again with new products.If you didn't know about the Amazon overstock store, you're one of many. After Wednesday, everything not sold is donated. If you can't make it Friday, or $10 is too much for you, the price drops every day: $8 Saturday, $6 Sunday and all the way to Wednesday where it's $1.

"I'm a college student, so I re-sell and pay off college. While she keeps some of the products for herself, her main reason for shopping here each week is to make money. She recalls a few of the ear pods she got only having one side that worked, and a tablet with a cracked screen that otherwise worked fine. But for her, it's still worth it to come out and shop every Friday. Spencer, who has been shopping at Treasure Hunt Liquidators since it opened, has gotten broken items a couple times. "One of those folding G-Fold smartphones, but the back screen is cracked this is something someone is going to pick up for $10." He showed Troubleshooter Diane Wilson a game controller, "This is what we call a defect, it might come in as a controller without a charger." Milano showed us another example with a smartphone. Milano admits there is a 10% defect rate. Everything in the bins is sold "as is," and remember it could be a returned item to one of the major retailers. While you can find treasures, you can also find broken items. We also found clothes, shoes, and high-end beauty products, all just $10.00 each. While looking in the bins we found a Shark Robot vacuum cleaner with a sticker price of $579.00, but since it's in the bin it's just $10.00. Just look for a deal," he said.Įvery Friday is restock day where you'll find the best items. Don't come on looking for one specific item.

Spencer and her friend Makayla Ridgeway drive all the way from Mebane every week to make sure they are the first in line to find the deals. "We show up the day before, and set up a tent, and have an air mattress, so we're first in line," shopper Asalyn Spencer said. Shoppers camped out and lined up hours before the store opened Friday. It's called Treasure Hunt Liquidators and it's off Capital Boulevard. However, at least one Triangle store is not having any of those problems, and it's drawing a big crowd.
