How quickly can I get cash for my inventory?
Timeline depends on your chosen service model:
- Direct Purchase: 7-14 days from agreement to payment
- Representation: 30-60 days average time to sale
- Consignment/Drop-Ship: Ongoing payments as inventory sells
What's the difference between your three service models?
- Representation: We market your inventory to buyers while you retain ownership. You pay commission only upon successful sale.
- Direct Purchase: We buy your entire inventory outright for immediate cash payment with no ongoing involvement.
- Consignment/Drop-Ship: Inventory stays at your location while we arrange sales and coordinate shipments as orders come in.
