The stock we are bidding on
Six shapes this arrives in. We buy the computing categories out of any of them, and we do not require the pile to be clean, sorted or tested first.
Overstock and aged stock
Sealed, current or a generation back, sitting against a date you would rather not carry it past.
Discontinued and end-of-line
Lines the vendor has moved on from, including the last of a configuration nobody else will take whole.
Closeouts and cancelled orders
Stock committed against an order that went away, in original packaging or repacked.
Customer returns and open box
Untested, tested, RMA'd or restocked. Mixed grades inside one pallet are normal here.
Shelf pulls and repackaged units
Opened, handled, missing the sleeve or the seal, functionally fine.
Salvage and non-working
Damaged in transit, damaged in the warehouse, or failed on test. We take these in the same lot.
Out of a mixed pallet we pull the computing lines and hand the rest straight back. Here is the split, so you can decide what to place elsewhere before you book anything with us.
We pull
- Laptops, desktops and workstations
- Servers, storage arrays and shelves
- Monitors and projectors
- Phones, tablets and Chromebooks
- Sealed, open box, untested and non-working in one lot
We leave
- Switches, routers and firewalls
- Chargers, cables and power adapters sold on their own
- Headphones, keyboards, mice and loose accessories
- Printers, copiers and consumables
- Activation-locked, FRP-locked or MDM-enrolled devices
Built to absorb meaningful quantities that smaller buyers cannot handle. The full category list and how the offer is built is here.
Send the manifest, get a number
Send it in whatever format it already exists in. A spreadsheet, a WMS export, a pallet list, a photo set. We do not need it reformatted, and we do not need it complete. Here is what each field does to the offer, so you know which gaps matter and which do not.
| Field | Why it moves the number | If you do not have it |
|---|---|---|
| Model or SKU | It sets the base. Two units of the same brand and screen size can price a long way apart. | Photograph one label per line and send it. |
| Configuration | Processor, memory, storage, screen. On servers, the drive and processor fill. | Tell us the spread and we price the spread. |
| Quantity per line | Depth decides whether a line is worth a lot price or a unit price. | Carton or pallet counts are enough to start. |
| Condition or grade code | It is the widest variable in a returns pallet. | Send the untested split and we price to it. |
| Location and packaging | City, dock, pallet count and rough weight decide the freight, which is part of the offer. | A dock address and a pallet count will do. |
Use your own grade codes. Tell us once what your codes mean and we will price to them rather than asking you to remap the file. The offer comes back inside 24 hours, priced on the whole lot, against current market conditions, and it stands for 7 days.
The whole movement, manifest to cleared funds, runs in five steps.
- 1
Manifest in
Whatever format it already exists in. A spreadsheet, a WMS export, a pallet list or a photo set. We do not need it reformatted and we do not need it complete.
- 2
Offer out
A written offer inside 24 hours, priced on the whole lot, against current market conditions. It stands for 7 days.
- 3
Dock booked
Collection booked 3 to 5 business days out, or 48 hours when the date is hard. We book the carrier and we work to your appointment window.
- 4
Received and checked
The lot is counted against the manifest on arrival. Any gap comes back to you as a written line-by-line report, not a silent adjustment.
- 5
Funds out
ACH or wire transfer, 3 to 5 business days after verified receipt, on the terms already in the offer document.
Returns, open box and untested
Returned stock prices as it sits. We do not ask you to test it, sort it into grades you do not already use, or split the good units out of the pallet for us. Cosmetically damaged units, opened boxes and units that failed on your bench go in the same lot as everything else.
Two things are worth stating on the manifest, because they change the number and we would rather price them once than adjust later: whether the power supplies and accessories are in the boxes, and whether anything in the lot has been marked, engraved or asset-tagged. Missing power supplies and accessories are priced in, not treated as a fault. State them on the manifest and the offer accounts for them once.
If drives are still in the units, settle that before the offer is agreed. You can pull them, wipe them, or leave them in and tell us. Our data handling page sets out exactly what we can and cannot certify. We do not sanitize in house and we do not issue certificates ourselves.
By the pallet or by the truckload, regardless of condition, age, or mix.
We buy worldwide and transact internationally, and we arrange the freight either way.
Pallets, cartons and the dock pickup
Tell us the pallet count, the rough weight, the stack height and whether the lot is palletized or floor loaded. Tell us the dock hours, whether the collection needs an appointment, and whether your team loads or the driver does. If a bill of lading needs specific reference numbers on it, send the format with the manifest. The bill of lading is raised by the carrier we book.
We book the carrier, we supply the pallets and the wrap, and we arrange a liftgate where the building has no dock. We do not operate our own trucks. Loading is the carrier's driver, with the pallet jack or forklift on site where the building has one.
We arrange the freight, domestically and internationally, and we buy worldwide. Who pays for what is set out here.
When the money moves
ACH or wire transfer, 3 to 5 business days after verified receipt. Everything sits in the offer document before you commit a pallet, including who pays the freight and what happens if the count is off. The payment and insurance page carries the terms in full.
If what arrives does not match the manifest, you get a written discrepancy report, line by line, against the manifest you sent, and we agree a revised figure before anything moves further. We do not silently reprice on receipt. If we cannot agree a revised figure, we return the lot to you at our cost, on the original freight terms.
An ideal opportunity: meaningful quantity, clear ownership, commercial urgency, scalable logistics.
Where the goods end up
We resell into a wholesale and export channel, domestically and by export, which is why mixed grades and deep single lines are both workable for us. We name the channel and explain the export rules.
- Domestic wholesale buyers
- Export buyers
- Refurbishers
- Parts and salvage buyers
- Deep single lines placed whole
- Mixed grades split downstream
This page is about a specific pile with a date on it. If you want the computing category placed on an ongoing basis instead, start at a standing buyer for the IT in your lots, or at graded lots from trade-in and buyback programs. If the stock is coming out of a room rather than a warehouse, see data center decommissioning.
Common questions
- What do you take out of a mixed pallet?
- The computing lines: laptops, desktops, servers, storage, monitors, projectors, phones, tablets and Chromebooks. Not networking gear, not switches, not routers, not chargers, not headphones, not accessories. We tell you plainly which lines we are leaving before you commit anything.
- The pallets are unmanifested. Can you still price them?
- Yes. A photo set, a rough breakdown by category and a pallet count is enough to get a number. We price the uncertainty into the offer rather than sending you away to build a manifest first.
- Do you take untested and non-working units?
- Yes, in the same lot as the sealed stock, regardless of condition, age, or mix. We do not require you to test, and we do not require the retail packaging.
- How fast can you take it off the dock?
- Time-sensitive deals are our specialty, not a challenge. Send the manifest with your date on it and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it. Standard booking is 3 to 5 business days from an agreed offer, and 48 hours is the shortest we work to.
- How and when do you pay?
- ACH or wire transfer, 3 to 5 business days after verified receipt. The terms sit in the offer document before you commit anything. Our payment and insurance page has the detail.
- Do you buy internationally?
- Yes. We buy worldwide and transact internationally, and we arrange the freight either way. On lots of 100 units or more we cover the freight. Below that we agree who pays before you commit, based on the distance. Who pays for what is set out here.
