J’ai acheté une PALETTE MYSTÈRE "PREMIUM" de 150kg
AI Summary
The video's host purchased a "premium mystery pallet" weighing 150 kg, advertised with a high profitability potential and an estimated resale value of €5000. The pallet itself cost €899.99, plus €150 for delivery, bringing the total cost to €1050. The seller claimed the contents were untried, unlisted, and unchecked, implying they also didn't know what was inside. A red flag was the use of AI-generated images for the product advertisement, which the host found suspicious.
Upon receiving the pallet, the first challenge was moving the heavy 150 kg package from the garage to the living room. Once positioned, the host decided to categorize items into two zones: "premium" for cool or valuable items, and "not premium" for disappointing or less valuable ones. This system would visually demonstrate the proportion of good to bad items at the end of the video.
The unboxing began with a small portable car vacuum cleaner, similar to items found in a previous video. Next, a variety of items started to appear, including cases, toys, and what appeared to be branded products. A significant find was a new suitcase, which the host noted could be quite expensive. The origin of the items in the pallet was unknown, possibly overstock or returns.
A Kodak box was opened, initially raising hopes for a camera, but previous experiences with "premium lost packages" had taught caution, as branded packaging didn't always mean a matching product inside. However, this time, the Kodak box contained a retro mini-shot Polaroid camera, which was new and valued at €139.99. This was a significant boost to the "premium" pile.
Another notable find was a Lego Harry Potter Dobby the House-Elf set, estimated to be worth €40-€45. Combined with a Crayola 140-piece art set (worth €29.99, new and sealed), these items quickly accumulated significant value, reaching over €200 early in the unboxing. The host noted that if they found a dozen or so similar items, the pallet would already be profitable.
Other items included a baby bottle, a large suitcase set (three suitcases nested within each other), which was considered highly premium and valued at around €100 for a single large case. The host estimated the entire set to be worth much more.
Not all items were premium, however. An old keyboard, some generic bags, school notebooks (five of them), a toy piano, solar wall lights, and multiple sets of generic pencils were placed in the "not premium" zone. Several alarm clocks were found, which were later identified as Amazon Echo Dots (Alexas), each valued at €50 new, significantly improving the value of that section.
More children's toys appeared frequently, along with a Jack & Jones 8XL t-shirt, still with a €59 tag. While large, it was deemed premium as it was likely not counterfeit. The host noted a large quantity of children's toys, suggesting they would donate them to an association rather than selling them individually.
Three sets of "Van Gogh-style" art pencils were found, each valued at around €20, adding to the "not premium" but still valuable pile. At this point, the host calculated that the "premium" zone items, at new prices, totaled around €500. Even with a 30-40% discount for second-hand resale, this was a minimum of €300. The "not premium" zone, at new prices, was about €150, or €100 for resale. This meant the pallet was already close to breaking even.
As the unboxing continued, more vacuum-sealed items, various towels, and cleaning products for cars or screens were discovered. A "make your own mug" kit, an ideal gift, was estimated at €30. A Jurassic Park 30th-anniversary plush toy was found, but its packaging was open, suggesting it might have been a store return.
Another portable vacuum cleaner, this time sealed, was found. A large baby stroller was a significant find, estimated at over €250, even if not the exact €529 brand found online. This item alone took up a lot of space but contributed greatly to the value.
The host then opened a large box that displayed JBL and Xbox logos. Inside were two headsets: one JBL and one Xbox. However, a disappointment quickly followed: the headsets were missing their ear cushions. This indicated they were likely returned or "HS" (damaged) items. A Sony headset was found without packaging, also missing cushions. Another three Sony headsets, also without packaging, were found, with some having only one working ear cup. This confirmed the "HS" or customer return nature of many electronics.
Other electronic items included a small affordable action camera, another Full HD 1080 camera, and JBL earphones from a "liquidation" sale, though their case didn't close properly. A TomTom GPS device, a smart watch (damaged), a Logitech controller (similar to those involved in a famous submarine crash), and two pairs of Nothing brand earphones were also found. Various Bic permanent markers and an old Microsoft mouse were also present.
The host explained that such electronic returns often involve customers exploiting warranties or swapping old items for new ones. A fake Polaroid camera (TikTok Shop item) and a headlamp were found. An Apple Magic Mouse and a PlayStation headset (Sony brand) in good condition, though without its box, were also discovered. A Samsung Galaxy Watch, despite its heavily damaged packaging, was in excellent condition, though missing its strap.
Towards the end, a bag of Columbia hiking shoes (whose authenticity was uncertain), and another large baby stroller (Kinder Kraft Mink brand, new and in original packaging) were found. This second stroller was valued at around €100.
Finally, with all items unboxed, the host tallied the values. The "not premium" zone amounted to €450 in quick resale value, while the "premium" zone reached €1340. This brought the total potential resale value to €1790, yielding a potential profit of €800, after the initial investment of €1050. While far from the advertised €5000, the host considered it a successful and profitable endeavor, acknowledging that with more effort in selling, the profit could be even higher, possibly up to €2500. The abundance of children's toys led the host to consider donating them.
