For sellers

Consign it to us

Ship the trays to our bench on a label we issue. We count, grade, photograph and list them under your account as an Inspected lot, the tier buyers pay most for, and ship to the winner. You get a signed count sheet before anything lists and a statement after it sells.

Consignment fee: 5%; of the hammer, minimum $150 per tray
Up front: Nothing; taken from the hammer when the lot sells
Lists as: Inspected; the count is ours; short-count disputes are our problem
Minimum: 200 modules; per consignment

Who this is for

Pallets, mixed pulls and anyone whose bench is better used elsewhere.

You have more trays than time. Counting, grading and photographing a pallet would stop your shop for a day, and the result would still carry the Photos or AI-checked tier. Consigned, the same pallet lists at the Inspected tier with a bench count and a report attached, and you never touch a camera or a box.

It also suits mixed lots that need splitting by grade or part number, and sellers who want the auction price but not the auction work. If you want a firm number instead of an auction, sell it outright; the bench does the same intake either way.

What it costs

One fee for the bench work, taken at sale, with a per-tray floor so small consignments cover the counting.

List for me

5%, minimum $150 per tray

Taken from the hammer price when the lot sells, alongside the normal protected-payment fee (1.5%, capped at $750). Nothing is charged up front.

Count and return

$150 per tray

The same count and grade report, then the modules ship back to you on a return label. Charged to your card on file before the label is issued.

Functional test at intake

Not offered at launch

Grading at intake is by origin, labels and condition. When bench testing is switched on it is priced per tray and shown here.

Minimums and what to send

So the counting is worth doing and the parcel arrives whole.

Minimum. 200 modules per consignment. Below that, listing it yourself or selling it outright is usually the better deal, and the form will say so.

Packing. Modules in anti-static trays or bags, trays stacked no more than four high with foam or bubble between, a new double-wall box filled so nothing moves, a packing list inside. The inbound label covers insurance for the declared value. The packing standard.

Declared quantity. Say what you believe is there; the bench count is what lists, and the variance is on the report. A mixed pallet is fine: the bench splits it by grade and part number into lots that will sell.

Questions people ask

What does consignment cost?

5%, minimum $150 per tray, taken from the hammer price when the lot sells, alongside the normal protected-payment fee. Nothing is charged up front for a list-for-me consignment.

Is there a minimum?

200 modules per consignment. Below that, listing it yourself or selling it outright is usually the better deal.

Who pays to ship it to you?

The inbound label is issued by us when the request is approved. For a lot that sells, shipping to the buyer is paid by the buyer as on any sale. If you ask for the modules back after a count, the return label is charged with the count-and-return fee.

What if your count is different from mine?

You receive the signed count sheet, tray by tray, with the grade and part numbers, before anything lists. The count on the lot is ours, and a short-count dispute on an Inspected lot is our problem, not yours.

Can I just have it counted and sent back?

Yes: count and return is $150 per tray, charged before the return label is issued, and you get the same report.

How long does it take?

Intake and counting happen in the order parcels arrive; the report is emailed when the count is done, and the lot then goes through the same review as any other, usually within 8 hours on business days.
