FAQ

Questions sellers ask

Lots, condition, timing, paperwork and payment — the things that come up in almost every first conversation.

Tell us what is sitting in the crib

Six fields and a rough description is enough to start. Mixed lots, partial assemblies and valves that need repair are all fine — we review a list, not a perfect inventory.

Photos help but are not required. We will reply with an upload address if we need nameplates.

The questions below come up in almost every first conversation. If yours is not here, call 954-740-1983 or send the form: we would rather answer it directly than have you guess.

Buying basics

Do you buy valves or sell them?

We buy. We are an independent purchaser of surplus industrial valves and we never sell valves, run an auction or act as a broker for another buyer.

Are you affiliated with any manufacturer?

No. Brand names on this site identify equipment we buy and remain the trademarks of their owners. We are not authorised, sponsored or endorsed by any of them.

Do you buy single valves or only lots?

Both, within reason. A single high-value valve can justify a collection; general stock is usually a pallet or more.

Do you buy new surplus valves?

Yes. New-in-box stock with certificates is the strongest category we handle.

What we accept

Do you buy mixed lots?

Yes. Mixed lots are the normal case, including different types, sizes, materials, brands and conditions in one lot.

Do you buy valves that need repair?

Yes, priced as repair candidates. Cracked bodies and bent stems reduce value; worn seats and tired packing usually do not.

Do you buy partial assemblies?

Yes. A body without its actuator, or an actuator without its valve, is reviewed and priced on what is there.

Do you buy unidentified stock?

Yes. Include it in the list. We identify what we can and price the rest honestly.

Do you buy valves that have been outside for years?

Yes. External corrosion is expected in a yard; body integrity is what matters.

Process and timing

How long does a review take?

One to two working days from a clear list. Turnaround material gets priority.

How fast can you collect?

Usually within a few working days of an agreed offer. Tell us the date at the start.

Do you charge for a site visit?

No.

Do you provide paperwork?

Yes, a written purchase record listing what was collected.

Can you work to a demobilisation date?

Yes, and we will tell you honestly if the date is too tight.

Commercial

How is a lot priced?

On type, size, class, material, completeness, documentation and condition, priced against what the market is buying.

Is scrap value the basis?

No. Scrap is a floor for unusable items, not a price for usable valves.

Do you cherry-pick?

No. We buy lots. Selling the good items individually usually leaves a room full of material that is harder to sell.

Who pays for freight?

Part of the commercial discussion and reflected in the offer. We usually arrange transport.

A plant spare parts crib. Every shelf is a decision somebody has been avoiding.

Still unanswered?

Call and describe the shelf. Two minutes on the phone usually beats an email thread.

Send the list before it becomes a problem

If the material has to leave site before demobilisation, say so and give us the date. We will tell you what we can work with and how fast we can be there.

Photos help but are not required. We will reply with an upload address if we need nameplates.
