BStalker vs Spreadsheets — Which Is Better for Pallet Resellers? (2026)
Quick Answer
Spreadsheets break after 3 pallets. BStalker auto-parses manifests, calculates cost basis, prorates overhead daily, and generates Schedule C tax reports — no formulas to maintain.
Who Should Use BStalker?
Pallet resellers who buy liquidation lots from B-Stock, Bulq, DirectLiquidation, or local liquidation stores and resell on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, or eBay. BStalker handles manifest import, per-item cost basis, platform fees, daily holding costs, and Schedule C tax reports.
Who Should Use Spreadsheets?
Anyone tracking fewer than 3 lots with simple buy/sell math. Once you need cost basis allocation, overhead proration, or bundle sale tracking, spreadsheets become unmanageable.
