A Show starts with a truck full of Liquidation Pallets backing into a warehouse. The load will have been coordinated for delivery by The Liquidator of the merchandise. The contents of the truck will be unknown to any of The Contestants or The Pallet Pros.

A truck will typically have around 24 pallets of merchandise on the truck.

A typical show will have 12 rounds of 2 pallets each.

A round begins as one of the material handlers removes two pallets of merchandise from the truck and positions them in the staging area.

The Contestants will have an online game controller that is located on a web page personalized for them and will contain:


1. A window to view the live stream of the show, which is typically 20-40 seconds delayed. All contestants will have access to the same stream with similar delay depending on network conditions. The live stream will have controls to rewind the stream and then jump back to live as needed.

2. A form to submit bids.

3. A form to make payment if they are the winning bidder.

4. A button to connect live into the show to play out the round with the Pallet Pros and to appear in the live stream.


As the initial unload happens in the background on the live stream we cut over to The Liquidator to get a feel for what he or she can tell us about the content of the truck, what it may be worth, what they hope to get out of it, and why they think this might be a good load.

The live stream will show the introduction of each of the Pallet Pros, giving information about their background, their expertise, and what they think about the Liquidators comments on the load.



The Round

Two Pallets are placed on the unboxing stage and the live stream will pan around the outside of each of the pallets. The Contestants and the Pallet Pros can get a feel for the two pallets based on what can be seen from the perimeter.

The first of the two pallets is unboxed and the contents displayed on the live stream. Each box or item is thoroughly but quickly displayed and then laid out on the ground. Contestants may hear comments from the Pallet Pros as the items come into view. Contestants can take these comments into consideration, but always being cognizant that later in the round the Pallet Pros will be trying to buy the two pallets from the Contestant. Contestants can take notes and look up items on the internet while the process unfolds.

After the first pallet is completely unboxed, a 60 second period starts for the Contestants to use the form in their online game controller to make a bid on the two pallets, the unboxed pallet and the one remaining to be unboxed later in the round. Contestants can rewind the live stream at any time, but all bids must be in within 60 seconds from the start of bidding.

The Contestants are making a combined bid on BOTH pallets.

Pallet Pros CANNOT bid on the pallets at this time.

Upon expiration of the 60 second bidding period, a winning Contestant bid is determined, the winner than pays for the Pallets using the online payment portal in the game controller, and upon confirmation of payment, the winning Contestant now becomes the Playa’ for the round. The Playa’, will use the Real Time Communication Portal in the game controller to connect into show and will be a part of the live feed. The Liquidator receives the payment made by the Playa’.

The new Playa’ will be introduced via the live stream to the online audience of remaining Contestants and to the Pallet Pros.

At this time, the Pallet Pros will enter play for the round. Based on what they have seen and know, using their online game controller, they will all make a current bid on the pallets; the bids can be any negative or positive number.

The Playa’ will also make an ask as to what he or she is willing to currently take for the two pallets.

The bids will be displayed on the live stream, which is 20 – 40 seconds delayed, but will not be announced on the real time feed, so Pallet Pros and the Playa’ can see what the numbers were in the past, but do not know what they currently are. This can be used in the strategy of both the Pallet Pros and the Playa’.

Bids may be changed by the Playa’ or any of the Pallet Pros at any time during the remainder of the round.

Pallet Pros and the Playa’ will engage in back and forth verbal comments in an attempt to influence each other during the play.

If at any time the Playa’s ask is less than any of the Pallet Pros bids, than the highest Pallet Pros bid will buy the two pallets from the Playa’ for the amount of the Pallet Pros bid.

Play continues as the second pallet begins to be unboxed. Pallet Pros bids and the Playas ask can be changed at any time as more items are revealed until any bid is higher than the ask at which time play for the round ends, with the remainder of the pallet being unboxed for everyone to see and comment on.

If the ask never drops below any of the bids and the second pallet is completely unboxed, then the round ends with a final canvas of the Pallet Pros to see if they want to meet the current ask. If not, then the Playa’ takes delivery of the Pallet.

The unboxing stage is cleared and then the next round begins.
