What is Liquid8 Pallet IQ?

A tool that reads a liquidation manifest and tells you what the load is likely worth, what you'll clear after fees and freight, what could go wrong, and where to sell each item. It also drafts the listings.

Where do the numbers come from?

Every estimate is labeled with its source. The baseline is an AI estimate based on the item, its condition, and how resale usually goes for that kind of product.
When live price data is available, Pallet IQ adds current eBay asking prices and Amazon price history (via Keepa), and tells you which ones it used for each line.

Are the estimates guaranteed?

No. They're estimates, and I label them that way. Use them to skip bad loads and bid with a clear head, not as a promise of what something will sell for. Lines Pallet IQ isn't sure about are marked low confidence so you can check them yourself.

What manifest formats work?

CSV works best. PDFs, a photo of a printed manifest, or text pasted from an auction page work too. If you have an Excel file, save it as CSV first.

Is Liquid8 a marketplace?

Not right now. Liquid8 doesn't buy or sell your inventory. Pallet IQ helps you decide what to buy and where to sell it.

When does it launch?

Invites go out to the waitlist in order. Every person who joins with your referral link moves you up 5 spots.

What does it cost?

Free for 3 scans a month. Flipper is $29 a month and Store is $99 a month. See pricing for what each plan includes.

Who's behind Liquid8?

Me, Mark Effinger. I've been selling online for 28 years, built one of the first shopping carts for small business, and have launched 18 companies since 1986.
