For Renovators and Contractors
Cincinnati has multiple locations of Fast Track Auctions ("FTA"). FTA sells Amazon and Big Box returns. Mostly garbage. But, what they also sell is discontinued and misordered Lowes and Home Depot Merch.I have purchased over $200,000 of building materials from FTA.
The number one item they have (and only periodically) is bath and shower tile. Since one has to buy the whole lot or none at all (often) 512 sq. ft., and pick it up in three days, and in colors and sizes not picked by a homeowner, there is little or no bidding. It is not goofy crap. I'm talking about nice charcoal 2x2's and ivory, etc. and I have never paid more than $.25/ft for 2x1 and 2x2 foot tile which sells for $3-6 per ft at the Big Box.
The second thing they have in abundance are bathroom vanities. If you are renovating a bathroom we would be spending $500 for a vanity sink base. Only buy good condition or brand new. They can be wrecked.
The third thing they have are kitchen and bathroom sinks.
The fourth thing they have is engineered hardwood flooring.
Good luck!
