They did a show on this place on the Travel Channel I think.

It was pretty cool because the people who run it are pretty smart. Every day they change the locations of items so people can't monopolize certain items and it forces people to actually dig to find stuff.

I've also seen several online places who will sell you Amazon returns by the pallet. You can choose a broad, general category like "electronics" and most of the time you have no idea what you're getting since they wrap all the stuff up.

There's Youtube channels of people who buy this stuff, bring it to their warehouse, then unpack it and sort it and then they sell most of it on CL, Ebay or other marketplaces.

The secondary market for a lot of this stuff is still very active.
