What to send us

  • A parts list or spreadsheet, even a rough one, with make/model and part numbers where known
  • Quantity and condition for each item

  • Location and any pickup needs
  • Note any complete storeroom or crib liquidations

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.
