Selling situations
Sell overstock and slow-moving wire stock
Overstock is not a single problem. It is a shelf of items that each failed for a different reason: a color nobody orders, a size that was specified once, a construction superseded by a newer standard, a reel with a damaged tag.
Individually, each is awkward. Together, they are a lot that a buyer can price in one pass — which is exactly how we prefer to quote them.
Build the list first
An inventory list is more useful than a photograph of a rack. For each item: construction, size, footage, metal and condition. A spreadsheet export works, and so does a typed list in the description field. Photograph only the items whose tags are unclear.
Separate the categories
Group building wire, tray and control cable, medium voltage cable and low voltage cable into separate blocks. Each has a different buyer and a different value logic, and mixing them makes the whole lot harder to price.
Decide what you are solving for
If the goal is clearing space, sell the whole lot at once. If the goal is maximizing return, the medium voltage and large feeder items are worth quoting separately from the small branch wire. Either approach is fine; say which one you want.
Questions about this
Do you buy discontinued colors?
Yes. Odd colors are common overstock and are purchased as part of a lot or on their own.
Is there a minimum lot size?
No. A single reel can be quoted, though larger lots are easier to schedule.
Can you quote from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Paste the list into the description field or attach a photo of the report.
