Practical guidance on excess, surplus and obsolete inventory
Most guidance on excess inventory is written by people who have never had to price a reel. We write from the other side of the transaction — what actually decides an offer, what widens or narrows the market for a part, and where value is lost between deciding to sell and being paid.
Written for the people who hold the stock: purchasing and materials managers at OEMs and EMS providers, operations teams carrying end-of-life inventory, and finance teams looking at what the stock is worth on the books versus what it will realise.
GUIDE

Getting more for excess electronic components

Why offers are judged against today's market rather than what the stock cost, what helps a list get priced quickly, and why it is worth asking before anything is scrapped.
