FS: Components - various |
|
|
X-No-archive: yes
Hi
I have over $30K USD worth of components that are excess inventory. Not
obsolete components... all new and in packaging where applicable.
I tried offering it to some of the surplus component dealers but the
offerings were so low it was stupid. Some clown actually offered me
$200.00 for the lot. I'm not expecting full price here...but a
reasonable offer would be nice.
Is there a better way to sell this stuff at a reasonable price?
Anybody?

Maybe break it up in "categories". Some may be interested in one category
over another. List the types of components. Saying you have a "lot" - isn't
really descriptive. Could be parts - even if new, that few can use. For
example, if all or most are pertaining to UHF or more so Microwave, I may
not have need as I don't dabble much in UHF and haven't gotten interested in
Microwave. Perhaps put some bulk deals together - bricks of packages and
offer them at a price you feel ok with - be it on here, E-Bay, Hamfest,
where - ever. You may have a huge "lot" of resistors someone will snap up
and a "lot" of special chips that many won't. You may have to attract
different crowds to sell it all.
There are many here - although maybe not "dealers", they do a lot of
homebrewing, repairs, etc... who would help deplete your inventory a lot
faster if they only knew what you're offering and can buy a smaller
quantity. With the electronics market as it is, many may be afraid to invest
in such quantity in case they would get stuck with it, as you appear now to
be. While my ideas may present some more effort, at least they may help do
the job. Ya got to do what it takes to sell the stuff off.
Maybe too, you could "trade" some of it off for something. Look online too -
for "bulk purchasers". Maybe you'll find a listing or two for places other
than those you've tried. They are out there. Consider your prices as well.
Often when someone says they want to "clear out", prices make all the
difference. To many - "clearing out inventory" - the prospective buyer
expects a nice discount. In my own sales, though I do list "a" price, I'm
usually pretty flexible, unless I'm selling on consignment. If it's my stuff
and I want to clear it out, usually any reasonable offer takes it. It's
either that or eat it......
Let us know what ya have.......... Hopefully with that size of inventory,
you have it on computer..... I can't imagine you have no idea as to type,
quantity, price per piece.
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the quick reply cl. Sounds like a good approach.
The entire component list is of course on computer. Loosely, it is
composed of caps and resistors, various data IC's, and connectors.
Unfortunately the list is unsorted in terms of category or use...so it
will take a bit of time to reorganize it into a fashion that might be
more attractive to buyers.
Just by way of example, here are a few items from the list:
442pcs. tantalum caps 330uf 10v SMT asking $650.00 lot (cost $3.00)
14 pcs. Analog Devices ADV611JST Wavelet compression chip $420.00 lot
(cost $60.00 each)
22pcs. Atmel FPGA (SMT) ATK40K10-2BQC asking $550.00 lot (cost $50.00 each)
56pcs. CAT28C256P-20 DIP Eproms asking $280.00 lot (cost $10.00 each)
842pcs. IRC part number LR2010-01-R075-F .075 ohm low inductance SMT
resistors $400.00 lot (cost $1.00 each)
4000 pcs. Philips MRS25F-3.32K 1/4 watt resistors $
135pcs Philips PCA8515T/005 OSD IC (SMD Package) $1300.00 lot (cost
$20.00 each)
83pcs. 6X2 header, Tyco part 103167-3 $250.00 lot (cost $6.00 each)
2488pcs. 0.01uf SMT capacitor 12062R103K9BB2 $140.00 (cost 11 cents each.)
158pcs. Weco connector 121-A-111/11 $300.00 lot (cost $3.80 each)
Basically looking for half price.
I'll get to work assembling a complete list in a categorized form and
post again.
Meantime, if anyone is interested in the above...please email.
VISA, Master Card, Amex, and even CASH accepted!

Without sorting it, no. |
The component dealer, would have to sort, identify, and in some cases test
the parts, or sell them as 'scrap'. This was reflected in the price
offered. Half price is not even obtained when you have 'overpurchased' a
branded and identified part, in it's original packaging, and try to sell
it. 10%, would be more normal, if you identified the parts, or sell them
in small quantities via an electronics magazine - 'mixed bags 100
capacitors' for example.

Surplus components obtained in the way you probably did were ordered for a
specific project. They may have cost big bucks but finding someone with a
similar project is very slim because most will get them from a source with
guarantees. You'll be lucky to get more than a few cents on the dollar and
it'll take a big effort and a long time as they depreciate.

I could be interested myself. Or otherwise I certainly know a lot of
companies who trade. I am willing to send them your list (for free).
Do you have a list of the parts? Full typenumbers and quantity,
preferably the datecodes too.
Please resond to email pieter@NOSPAMhoeben.com without the NOSPAM
