I bought a £470 returns palette with over £1k worth of goodies inside…including a £156 item I never knew was so pricey
A WOMAN has revealed that she bought a mystery palette for £470.
The palette, which was full of boxes of Amazon returns, contained items including car parts, clothes and decorative homeware pieces.
Juliet, a thrifting, shopping and re-selling fan, took to social media to show her followers exactly what she got in her mystery parcels.
The savvy shopper shared her clip with the caption “I don't even know what some of these items are! Check out this mystery pallet of amazon returns that I paid $600 [£470] for! I have no idea what's in the boxes unless it is marked but there is still a 10% chance they are broken or returned!”
As she showed off her huge pile of boxes, she said: “I bought a $600 [£470] palette of mystery returns and I’m going to open it with you guys.”
In her mystery palette, she found “a small footstool [worth £20.99] which is super practical, an Amazon style dress which is cheaply made, along with some patio cushions, which are cute, I guess.”

Juliet also found a boho ottoman, to which she said: “It’s really cute, I like it.”
Then, Juliet found five plant stands, as she added: “Right off the back, I knew I had five of these plant stands, which should get me $50 [£39] each.
“They are really nice. For a wedding, or for decor for your patio, they’d be really pretty.”
Following this, she found an ottoman, which retails on Amazon for £54.99, to which she claimed: “This one’s really cool. It’s got gold and then a spot for storage.”
As well as this, she then found two magic panel storage units, to which she explained: “I sold these second-hand on Facebook Marketplace right away for $40 [£31], but I’m betting I could sell this for $50 [£40] brand new.”
Thrilled with her finds, she claimed: “I think on the furniture I’ve already got $300 [£235] back, pretty easy.”
The haul of goodies continued, as Juliet then spotted a heavy duty lifting jack and a Boho ottoman, which retails at £110, to which she beamed: “Very cool.”
She also found a black bed frame, as she gushed: “That is so awesome.”
Juliet then found something that she wasn’t totally sure what it was, but she described it as ‘squishy’, as she questioned: “Is this a mattress pad? Something you put on a bed? I don’t know.”
Juliet also got some skincare in her palette, as she next spotted a bottle of Timeless Skincare Vitamin C, which sells for £37.50 on Amazon.
Juliet then found an array of fashion items, including a grey top and a marble effect top, to which she stated: “At least I’ll make my money back in shipping supplies.”
The items kept on coming, as Juliet spotted a car headlight, two car jacks, another three stacking shelves [£39 each], a bathrobe worth £24 and a handful of pairs of fake Nike sneakers, as she claimed: “They’re literally as light as a tissue.”
Not only this, but she also spotted a swing seat cushion, a gold lighted birch tree, a Toyota Prius cargo mat [£53], a catalytic converter and a car engine.
As well as this, she then found a black bikini, a draw liner for watches [£30], two sets of brake pads, a decorative tray and four rolls of marble peel and stick wallpaper which are worth a total of £110.
Impressed with her finds, Juliet concluded: “Not like a crazy, awesome palette, but I’ll definitely make my money back.”
Although Juliet didn’t confirm the prices of all of her items, everything she did know the value for added together equaled a total of £832.48.
Juliet later confirmed that she sold the engine for $200 [£156.96], bringing her total to a staggering £989.44 (without the items she didn’t know the price of).
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @julietsfinds just 21 hours ago, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 14,200 views.
Social media users were left stunned at the clip and were eager to share their thoughts in the comments.
One person said: “You can resell the engine for sure. Hopefully there is enough information on it to figure out what size it is. I used to flip pallets too.”
To this, Juliet replied: “The engine did resell! It ended up being a dirt bike engine and sold for $200 [£156.96]!”
Another asked: “Have you sold the cushion for outdoor swing?”
In response, Juliet confirmed: “I did! Almost immediately! People love cushions.”
