Gerry Dick: While from the early
days of eBay to today's cost

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.300
cutting convenience of Amazon
consumers are always looking to

00:00:06.330 --> 00:00:09.420
save a buck around Indiana
reporter Mary Rachel Redmond,

00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:13.080
Sarah says there's a new Henry
County Business that may be just

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.630
the bargain. You've been looking
for Mary Rachel?

00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:18.270
Unknown: Well, Gary earlier this
week, the National Retail

00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:22.620
Federation decided estimates
more than 15% of the $966

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.490
billion in purchases made this
past holiday season in the US

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.580
will be returned. So what
happens to the millions of

00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:37.110
returns? Well, more than likely,
they end up here. From TVs to

00:00:37.110 --> 00:00:43.320
toys, and just about everything
in between a cool Stanley MOG,

00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:46.950
this gigantic warehouse in
Plainfield equal in size to

00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:50.700
about five football fields is
filled with aisle after aisle of

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:54.360
returns and overstock product
from every major retailer, you

00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:56.220
can think of Legos,

00:00:56.220 --> 00:01:00.420
electronics, kayaks, appliances,
anything that sold at a retail

00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:04.170
store will come through here and
be sold on all surplus deals. So

00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.860
what is all surplus deals,
people in Indiana can get a

00:01:07.860 --> 00:01:11.610
great deal on products and all
surplus deals.com. It's a

00:01:11.610 --> 00:01:15.360
website where we list new
products every day, three, four

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:19.680
or 500 items a day that started
out at about $5. And then people

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:20.790
bid throughout the day.

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.190
What are the key steps in the
process is actually examining

00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:32.190
some of the stuff that comes in.
So how does that process work?

00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:35.070
Yeah, we have an example of that
happening right here. We're one

00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:38.370
of our team members is in this
case, looking at an ex Xbox

00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:41.580
controller. So we're taking a
picture of the box and then

00:01:41.580 --> 00:01:44.640
we're going to open the box up
and inspect the item and make

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.980
sure it functions so that our
customer gets a reliable

00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:47.490
product.

00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:49.290
To me that looks brand new.

00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:52.650
Yeah, oftentimes, it's clear
that it's never been used

00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.000
and folks can expect what
7080 90% off on an item.

00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:00.750
Yeah. 70 To 80% off is what
people are seeing right now.

00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:05.580
Say what may sound too good to
be true. But here's how it

00:02:05.580 --> 00:02:10.650
works. Go to All surplus
deals.com Select Indianapolis

00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.910
and start shopping. Once you
find that must have item don't

00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:16.110
forget to start bidding.

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.310
Once you've won and paid for
your merchandise, you come to

00:02:20.310 --> 00:02:23.100
our warehouse here in
Plainfield, where we're going

00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:26.130
the lady will deliver your
product to your car.

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:29.640
Thank you both very, very much.
And just in case you want to

00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:33.270
triple check your item to make
sure it's as advertised, you can

00:02:33.270 --> 00:02:35.070
do that too. Upon pickup,

00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:39.750
good. Customers are able to test
and inspect the merchandise that

00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:42.600
they bought. We have electronic
stations here where you can even

00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.510
plug in televisions. And if they
see something they don't like

00:02:45.510 --> 00:02:48.360
they're able to return it on
site. Once they leave with the

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.180
product, then it's theirs and we
don't accept returns after that.

00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.700
We've seen it warehouse there's
all kinds of activity, lots of

00:02:56.700 --> 00:03:04.050
product. Realistically, what's
the shelf life of a lot of these

00:03:04.050 --> 00:03:05.610
goods that we're seeing, we try
and

00:03:05.610 --> 00:03:08.490
move through inventory as fast
as possible. So from the time it

00:03:08.490 --> 00:03:11.790
comes in, until the time we hand
it to a customer. We want that

00:03:11.790 --> 00:03:12.930
to be within 10 days.

00:03:13.140 --> 00:03:15.840
And some of the stuff that
people are seeing on all

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.350
surplus.com is still in stores.

00:03:19.380 --> 00:03:23.550
Yeah, I bought myself a toolkit
over the weekend and spent $100

00:03:23.550 --> 00:03:27.240
on it. It's for sale today on
all Tripolis deals right now the

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.360
bidding is at $10 it'll go up
from there, but someone's gonna

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:31.440
get a killer deal on it.

00:03:31.950 --> 00:03:37.260
And it's never been used. Never
been used. That's do and I'm a

00:03:37.260 --> 00:03:40.080
sucker for a deal too. So of
course I had to get on all

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.250
surplus deals.com And I gotta
say I'm glad I did. I went to

00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:50.550
Barbie Dream House for my four
year old $47 normally 300 bucks

00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:54.180
now that's a deal. Gary, back to
you. That

00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:55.620
Gerry Dick: is a deal. Thanks,
Mary Rachel
