What affects your offer
New vs. Used Condition
New-in-box, unopened stock typically brings the strongest offers, followed by used but unissued spares.
Manufacturer & Part Demand
Established brands and commonly used part numbers attract stronger interest.
Completeness of the List
An accurate, itemized list with part numbers and quantities gets a faster, stronger offer.
Age & Obsolescence
Discontinued parts can retain strong value for facilities that can no longer get factory replacements.
Quantity & Lot Size
Bulk quantities and whole storeroom lots may be more desirable than scattered single items.
Whole Lot vs. Cherry-Picking
Taking the entire lot, including lower-value items, typically works better than cherry-picking.
