Chris Koerner pitches a side-hustle: build and sell pallet bars sourced from free pallets (e.g., Facebook Marketplace). He cites an example where construction took about three hours and required roughly $20–$30 in stain and screws, while similar finished pallet bars are listed for $350–$500 — enabling a high hourly return. He also recommends listing/selling before building (post a listing, then build on purchase) to avoid inventory risk.

Chapters

You guys have to see what I found. So this couple made a pallet bar for their wedding because they were too cheap to buy one. It took them about three hours. They spent about 20 to $30 in stain and screws, and they got the pallets for free from Facebook marketplace. Look at all these free pallets on Facebook Marketplace. Anywhere you live, they're free. And look at here. I'm seeing pallet bars listed on Facebook marketplace for 350 to $500. Free materials plus two to three hours of work, plus 350 to $500. Yeah, that's a pretty good hourly rate. But what if no one buys it? Then post a picture of someone else's right now for $400. And when someone buys it, then you go build it and sell it. Sell it before you have it.
