Consignment Programs Share

Option 1

The marketplace for computer equipment is volatile, with prices fluctuating rapidly due to new product introductions, short term supply/demand, and other industry trends. Avoiding the frequently low prices associated with open auctions, we have developed and managed a product consignment program with worldwide re-sellers, under which you retain ownership of consigned inventory until it is resold. Our program can help you generate higher profit margins than from auction processes.

While we are always happy to purchase your surplus for cash, our consignment program is a great option for many situations:

Why consign rather than sell outright? It's convenient. You don’t need to inventory your product because we do it for you.

There's a higher overall return. Since you share the risk with us that your products won’t sell quickly, you receive a better return.

When is consignment the best option? When you have high value but hard-to-sell products. Obscure items and niche market items aren’t worth much if we have to pay cash for them because we don’t have ready buyers at the time of the offer. However, when we find the right buyer for you, the deal can be highly profitable for you and for us.

When you don’t know what you have. If you have three pallets of miscellaneous products you’ve accumulated or collected, do you really want to expend the hours necessary to make a list?
