A plant stores department is measured on availability, not on inventory value. That is why cribs accumulate: the spare that prevented a shutdown in 2009 stays on the shelf in 2026, and the space it occupies is never reclaimed.
Clearing a crib properly takes time nobody has. We review the valve section as a whole, price it as a lot, and take it away, including the unidentified items and the partial assemblies that a formal disposal process would reject.
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
Do we have to sort by type and size?
No. Mixed lots are the normal case and we prefer to receive them that way.
What about items with no identification?
Include them. We will identify what we can and price the rest honestly.
Can you buy part of a crib?
Yes, but whole-crib purchases usually produce a better outcome for both sides.
