Government auctions, liquidation auctions, and industrial surplus sales are hiding opportunities most people never see. This episode breaks down the auction sites resellers use to find inventory, source products, and build profitable businesses.

Shannon Jean is back to walk Ben and Jon through the auction sites, liquidation marketplaces, and government surplus programs where resellers find inventory most people never see. From Costco returns and Target truckloads to industrial equipment and military surplus, they break down where the opportunities actually are.

Shannon explains how experienced buyers evaluate manifests, use AI to research products, avoid emotional bidding, and often find buyers before they ever purchase inventory.

The conversation also covers Facebook Marketplace, reseller networks, live selling, and how Shannon accidentally grew a $5 mastermind into a community of more than 3,300 members.
