$1 to $5,000: The Pallet Side Hustle — The Koerner Office
Update: 2025-12-23
Description
What if a single dollar and a phone could start a $5,000 side business? In this 3-minute summary (original episode 50 minutes) host Chris Koerner interviews Mindy, a stay-at-home mom who turned $1 bids on school book pallets into roughly $5,000 by reselling curriculum, picture books, and bundles on eBay and Whatnot. Learn practical side hustle tactics for reselling: where to source inventory (GovDeals, Public Surplus, thrift stores), how to spot high-value curriculum, simple listing workflows using ChatGPT for manifests and SEO, packing and pricing rules, and how to scale into liquidation lots and live selling. Mindy’s approach shows low-capital, low-time arbitrage with ~60% net margins and about three hours a week of work — ideal for hustlers, resellers, and entrepreneurs interested in e-commerce, pallet flipping, and AI-assisted ops. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
