Sell Valves from a Yard Cleanout

Material that has been outside for years is still material. It is just harder to identify, which is why it never gets sold.

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.

Every service company and contractor has a back yard with pallets that have been there since the last boom. Weathered valves, unlabelled bodies, partial assemblies and things nobody can name without lifting them.

We buy yard cleanouts as they are. Identification is our problem, and a clean yard is worth more to you than a perfect inventory list.

The practical sequence

What happens, in order

A warehouse interior stacked with used industrial valves and electric motors
Yard Cleanout: the material is usually sound. The constraint is time, space or paperwork.

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 you buy weathered valves?

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

What if nothing is labelled?

We identify by pattern and marking. Some items will be priced as scrap value, and we will say so.

Can you clear a whole yard?

Yes, including non-valve items if they are part of the same lot.

Dealing with a yard cleanout?

Send the list and the date. We will tell you what we can do and how fast.

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.
