# What is a Variance Handling Plan? A variance handling plan is a clear, written explanation of how you will handle discrepancies between what was expected and what actually arrives in the liquidation pallet. ## Why is it Required? 1. **Protects Everyone**: Sets clear expectations before co-buyers join 2. **Builds Trust**: Shows you've thought through potential issues 3. **Prevents Disputes**: Having a plan in writing reduces conflicts 4. **Platform Requirement**: Required before publishing your deal ## What are Variances? Variances are common in liquidation auctions and can include: - **Shortages**: Fewer items than expected (within 5% tolerance) - **Condition Discrepancies**: Items in different condition than described - **Uneven Distribution**: Some co-buyers getting better/worse items - **Manifest Errors**: Items listed that aren't actually in the pallet **Important**: The liquidation industry typically allows up to 5% variance. Your plan should explain how you'll handle variances within this normal range. ## Four Example Approaches Review the four examples using the tabs above: 1. **Proportional Adjustment**: Mathematically fair system 2. **Draft/Selection**: In-person selection process 3. **Credit/Refund**: Financial adjustment approach 4. **First-Come Priority**: Time-based efficiency Choose the approach that fits your style or create a hybrid!
