What counts as excess BOM?

Whole or partial kitted bills of materials — mixed ICs, passives and connectors on reels, tubes and trays — from cancelled builds, EOL/last-time-buy over-buys, NCNR excess, or EMS line changes and closures. Send the BOM spreadsheet for a firm recovery offer.

I have NCNR stock the distributor won't take back — can you help?

Often yes — when the authorized channel is closed, the secondary market is the only recovery path. A bulk buyout recovers some capital on stock that would otherwise be a write-off. Flag NCNR status on your list.

What do you need to quote a mixed lot?

The BOM list — part numbers, manufacturers, quantities, date codes, packaging and condition. We price the high-demand and allocated lines and treat the low-value bulk as makeweight; a clear list is the whole game.

Should I open sealed reels to count them?

No — opening a sealed moisture-barrier bag or reel can destroy value. Work from the labels and paperwork; segregate sealed from opened and keep date codes labelled.

Sell Excess BOM & Surplus Production Stock

Most real-world "excess components" arrive as mixed kitted inventory, not single part numbers — the full set of parts bought for a production run, sitting as reels, tubes and trays after the run changed. It usually comes from one of a few situations: a cancelled production build; an end-of-life or last-time-buy over-buy; non-cancellable, non-returnable (NCNR) excess the authorized channel won't take back; or a contract-manufacturer line change or plant closure stranding consigned and purchased material.

In every case the bill of materials itself is the asset. A clean spreadsheet — part number, manufacturer, quantity, date code, packaging and condition — lets the desk price the few high-demand or allocated lines that carry the lot and treat the low-value bulk as makeweight. A bulk buyout converts a balance-sheet liability into working capital and clears the floor fast.

What we buy

Whole or partial kitted BOMs (mixed ICs, passives, connectors)
Cancelled-build and line-clear leftovers, kit overages
End-of-life / last-time-buy overstock
NCNR (non-cancellable / non-returnable) excess
Consigned-then-stranded and EMS plant-closure inventory

What drives recovery value

Quality of the BOM list — a clean spreadsheet (MPN, manufacturer, qty, date code, packaging) is what makes the lot quotable.
The standout lines — value concentrates in a few high-demand, allocated or obsolete parts inside an otherwise low-value mix.
Packaging & traceability — sealed reels and certificates of conformance multiply value across the whole kit.
Ownership clarity — for EMS/consignment lots, confirm what belongs to the OEM customer before sale.
NCNR / EOL status — when the authorized channel is closed, the secondary market is the only recovery path.

Who buys it

Brokers and consignment houses that ingest whole BOMs, contract manufacturers needing specific lines to finish their own runs, and aftermarket suppliers are the buyers. For fast clearance we buy the kit outright and sort value internally; for very high-value mixed lots, consignment elsewhere may net more slowly — we'll say so honestly.

Selling it cleanly

A photo of a box is not a quote — we work from the BOM list, and we don't open sealed moisture-barrier bags or reels just to inventory them. Segregate sealed from opened, keep date codes labelled, and flag NCNR and consignment status. We're upfront that low-value passive bulk recovers little; the realistic value is in the standout lines.

The offer list is the asset. Send manufacturer part numbers, quantities, date codes and packaging (sealed reel / tray / tube / loose) — that is what gets a firm recovery offer fastest. Send your list → or estimate value →
