You can buy Target return/overstock pallets at auction, and a deals account likely just resells that. Target doesn’t have to deal with it on an item level at that point.

Target does have some really restrictive rules on those pallets however that Bullseye deals doesn't seem to follow so they have either some form of an agreement in place where they don't have to or they're just a spinoff totally-not-target corp.

  What are those rules?

    Target requires delabeling on most items in pallets that are Target branded and at least when I last looked they said no exporting. I went down the path of trying to apply to purchase pallets myself but opted against it even if a lot of other resellers ignore the rules. Not worth it - plus good chance of getting stuck with school supplies like reams of paper which you really can't do anything with when selling online. https://www.liquidation.com/c/Target-Defacing-and-Delabeling-Guidelines.pdf https://www.liquidation.com/c/Target-Defacing-and-Delabeling...

  No they don't, I bought a box of Target returns from American Liquidations and I didn't have to agree to any rules, just bought the box. Target can't enforce any rules on me, as I have no relationship with Target whatsoever. The absolute worst thing Target can do is stop selling to American Liquidations.

    That’s a bit different buying sorted boxes, it’s not the same thing as buying pallets right from them.

      It's exactly the same - they aren't buying directly from target, they are buying thorough Liquidity Services, Inc. "Sources tell Modern Retail that all the listings are salvage merchandise from Target that’s been purchased by the reverse supply chain services company Liquidity Services, Inc."

        Not really? I said they likely have a different agreement with Target. What I was saying is from my experience trying to buy pallets from Target. I linked to one of the requirement documents in another comment.
