Question 1

What is Liquidata AI and how does it help liquidation buyers?

Accepted Answer

Liquidata AI is a liquidation analytics platform purpose-built for wholesale buyers, bin store operators, and resellers. It uses AI to analyze manifests, identify fair market values, and give you a clear profit picture before you bid. Our team has 30+ years of combined experience in the secondary market — we built the tool we always wished we had.

Question 2

How does manifest analysis work on Liquidata?

Accepted Answer

Upload any manifest — Excel, CSV, or PDF. Our AI researches every product line by UPC, model number, and description, then cross-references retail prices, wholesale benchmarks, and sold data. You get a full load valuation with per-item pricing in minutes, not hours.

Question 3

What liquidation platforms and manifest formats does Liquidata support?

Accepted Answer

All major platforms including Direct Liquidation, B-Stock, Bulq, and Amazon Liquidation Auctions. We accept Excel, CSV, and PDF manifests. Whether you source shelf pulls, customer returns, overstock, or truckload lots, Liquidata handles it.

Question 4

How accurate are Liquidata's product valuations?

Accepted Answer

We cross-reference online catalog, retailer prices, and marketplace data for every item. Products with UPCs match at high rates, and we use intelligent fallbacks for items with limited identifiers. Every valuation includes a confidence indicator so you know exactly how much to trust each number.

Question 5

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Start by contacting the Liquidata team. We will schedule a demo, walk through your manifest with you, and help you understand how Liquidata fits your workflow before you purchase a plan.

Question 6

What is included in each pricing plan?

Accepted Answer

All plans include the full Liquidata feature set. The only difference is throughput: how many loads you analyze each month and how many SKUs are typically on each manifest. Plans range from 6 loads / 1,500 units per month up to 160 loads / 40,000 units per month. You can pay monthly, quarterly and save 5%, or annually and save 30%.

Question 7

Can I upgrade or downgrade at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Changes take effect at the next billing cycle. There are no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees — scale up or down as your sourcing volume changes.

Question 8

What is the difference between manifested and unmanifested loads?

Accepted Answer

Manifested loads include a detailed product list so you know exactly what you are buying. Unmanifested loads are sold blind — no product details. Manifested loads cost more but carry less risk. Liquidata is purpose-built for manifested loads, helping you turn that product list into an accurate valuation.

Question 9

How should I calculate ROI on a liquidation pallet or truckload?

Accepted Answer

Focus on four factors: acquisition cost, realistic sell-through value (actual resale prices, not MSRP), sell-through rate, and operating costs. Real resale typically runs 15–40% of MSRP depending on category and condition. Liquidata automates the valuation step so you can bid with confidence.

Question 10

What auction strategy maximizes profit on liquidation lots?

Accepted Answer

Start with data, not gut feeling. Analyze the manifest for current resale values, factor in your margin targets, expected sell-through rates, and operating costs. A good rule of thumb is to aim for 10–20% of realistic resale value as your max bid. Liquidata gives you instant resale data so you can set smart limits fast.

Question 11

Is my manifest data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We never share manifest data with other users. Accounts are fully isolated, hosted on enterprise-grade infrastructure.

Question 12

Who built Liquidata and why should I trust it?

Accepted Answer

Liquidata was built by a team with 30+ years of combined experience in wholesale liquidation. We have personally bought and valued thousands of loads. Our AI is validated against real transactions — not generic retail data. We built this because we do exactly what you do, and we needed it ourselves.
