Why companies sell surplus to Industrial Automation Co.
You’re sitting on value: unopened spares, overbuys, phased-out models, or equipment from decommissioned lines. Our Surplus Buyback Program converts those assets into cash quickly—without guesswork, auctions, or piecemeal listings.
The 5 benefits that move the needle
1) Immediate cash recovery
Free up budget by converting idle parts into working capital. We evaluate lists fast and issue competitive offers so finance can realize a gain this quarter—not next year.
2) Lower carrying costs
Every unused part costs money to count, insure, and shelve. Selling surplus reduces inventory load, cycle-count time, and obsolescence exposure.
3) Simpler compliance & documentation
We provide clean, auditable paperwork (itemized quotes, serials when applicable, and purchase documentation) to satisfy internal controls and ISO/GxP environments.
4) Speed with minimal internal effort
One email with your list starts the process. We accept spreadsheets, photos, or warehouse pulls—no need to create product pages or manage buyers.
5) Better ESG story
Redeploying parts extends useful life and reduces waste. It’s a practical sustainability win—especially for decommissioning and modernization projects.

How the process works
- Send your list: Spreadsheet, photos, or a CMMS/ERP export. Include part numbers, quantities, and condition (sealed, unused, used, unknown).
- Receive an offer: We price quickly based on market demand, condition, and lifecycle. Large lots can be phased if helpful.
- Ship or schedule pickup: We can provide labels or arrange freight. Packing guidance provided to protect value in transit.
- Inspection & verification: Our techs verify condition. Any exceptions are documented with photos and reconciled before finalization.
- Payment issued: After verification, we pay per the agreed terms—clean, trackable, and documented.
What affects pricing?
- Condition & packaging: Factory-sealed or unused items command higher value.
- Demand & lifecycle: Current-gen and widely used legacy parts price stronger than ultra-niche items.
- Quantity & mix: Lots with multiple high-demand SKUs move faster.
- Verification speed: Clear photos/labels and known storage history reduce inspection time and risk.
Consignment vs. outright buy
If your goal is maximum return and you have a little more time, ask us to compare an outright buy vs. a consignment model so you can choose the best path for your budget and timeline.
FAQ
Do you buy partially used or pulled parts?
Yes. We evaluate used and pulled items. Provide any known run-time or storage details—transparency helps maximize value.
Can you handle multi-site or decommissioning projects?
Absolutely. We coordinate pickups across locations and work with your project team on schedules and safety requirements.
How fast is payment?
For standard lots, payment is issued after inspection per agreed terms. We can discuss accelerated options for urgent timelines.
Will you cherry-pick?
We’ll price what you send. If you prefer an all-or-nothing lot, note that up front and we’ll structure the offer accordingly.
