Quicklotz

At 5 Pennsylvania Plaza 19th floor in New York, New York, you'll find Quicklotz, a liquidation store listed under Amazon returns.

What you'll find

The basic idea behind an Amazon-return store is simple: returned and excess goods are bought by the pallet and resold cheaply, typically without sorting by department. Returned goods are a gamble by nature; some pieces are untouched and others are opened, used or short a part, so a quick check at the bin saves disappointment later. Pricing at bin stores is commonly one flat price per item, though some liquidation shops mark items individually instead. The listing includes a phone number, a website and a Facebook page, so there are several ways to check details before the trip.

When to go & what it costs

There's no fixed price schedule on the listing, only a note that prices vary. The store is listed as open only Monday 10AM-12PM, with the other days marked closed. Many bin stores run a falling daily price, but that pattern isn't shown here. Everything above is as listed and may change, so confirm before you go.
