One month after he bought an entire warehouse of car parts for $270, this YouTuber has provided an update.
It was the bargain of a lifetime, and it was one that this man was all too happy to take advantage of.
The stock inside this warehouse was astonishing, with racks of lights, steering wheels, grilles, and mirrors galore.
A month on, here’s what this YouTuber has been up to in the meantime.
Buying a warehouse of car parts for $270 sounds like a great deal, and it’s even better than it sounds
When YouTuber KevTee and his brother saw a listing for a lot of car parts on Facebook Marketplace, they bought it with little hesitation.
For $270, they were expecting a small lot.
What they actually got was an entire warehouse of stock, with approximately 100,000 plus parts to shift through.
There was only one thing for it – they had to go through the whole stock and list out everything.
KevTee’s job was to do the system tracking, while his brother would clean, test and organize the parts on shelves.
One month on, they’d gotten around 400 parts deep into the stock line-up.
The plan was to sell off the parts, and they wanted to ensure they were delivered in a clean state in nice boxes.
Professional packaging with bubble wrap was on hand to ensure a high-quality customer experience.
“We’re trying to change that expectation that people have when they’re buying new [used] parts on eBay that it’s going to come dirty and dusty and scratched up,” KevTee explained.
“We’re just trying to move away from that and try and give customer a better experience of buying used parts.”
So far, the team had made $1,493 in sales, after expenses were taken into account.
The hope was that KevTee – who worked as a truck driver – could turn this warehouse into a full time gig.
You can find all sorts of things inside warehouses
Across the world there are warehouses left unused.
Plenty of them still have things dwelling inside, whether that’s abandoned luxury cars or John Travolta’s iconic Boeing 707.
You never know what you’ll find.
We’re not saying people should go out buying abandoned warehouses without a care, but it’s certainly interesting to see what people can find.
