MRO inventory is bought by project teams and inherited by maintenance. By the time a reliability engineer finds a shelf of valves for equipment that was replaced in 2014, the purchase order is long gone and so is the justification.
We buy MRO surplus as a lot, which means the reliability team does not have to run a disposal project to reclaim the space. That is usually the only reason the material is still there.
The practical sequence
What happens, in order
What we need
The short version
A rough list, a location and a date. That is enough to start. If there are photographs, the review is faster and the number is more confident.
We do not need the valves cleaned, sorted or labelled. We do not need a data sheet for each item. And we do not need you to decide which items are worth selling before you send the list — that is the review.
Mixed lots and partial assemblies are included. If the material is awkward, unidentified or incomplete, say so and include it. A lot that describes its own problems is faster to price than one that does not.
Questions sellers ask
Can you provide documentation for our write-off?
Yes. We provide a purchase record listing what was collected.
Do you buy small MRO lots?
A pallet is the practical minimum, unless the items are high value.
What about items already written off?
Those are often the easiest to sell, because the accounting is already done.
