We buy excess, obsolete and surplus integrated circuits in bulk across the USA and Canada — MCUs, FPGAs, memory ICs, power-management and logic — on reels, tubes and trays. Send manufacturer part numbers, quantities, date codes and packaging for a firm recovery offer; we take title and resell into a global supply channel.
Active silicon is the highest-value line in the components lane and the one where the exact part matters most. A microcontroller, FPGA, memory IC, PMIC or logic device that has been over-ordered, stranded by a redesign, or bought on a last-time-buy ties up real capital — and is often exactly what another manufacturer or a long-life medical, industrial, aerospace or defence program is hunting for.
Obsolete and allocated silicon is the wildcard: because redesigning and re-certifying a board can cost a fortune, genuine end-of-life FPGAs, MCUs and logic can recover a large multiple of their original price when a buyer needs them to keep a legacy system running. That is why a clean, traceable list beats a photo of a box every time.
Genuine surplus silicon flows to independent distributors and brokers, the authorized lifecycle/aftermarket channel for true OEM end-of-life stock, contract manufacturers sourcing shortage parts for active builds, and repair, aftermarket and sustainment programs keeping legacy medical, industrial, aerospace and defence systems alive. We take title and place it into that global channel so you deal with one buyer.
ICs are the most counterfeited component family, so the burden of proving authenticity sits with the seller — keep parts in original sealed packaging, hold invoices and certificates of conformance, and expect serious buyers to apply counterfeit-avoidance scrutiny (industry frameworks such as SAE AS6081 and ERAI, and lab inspection). We don't claim certifications we don't hold; we do reward clean traceability with a stronger offer.
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 →
