Frequently asked questions

Consignment: Component Sense will store your stock at our cost, in our warehouse or in a warehouse close to your facility so that your product remains accessible to you. The ownership of the stock remains with you until sold. The aim is to return as much as possible of your original costs, typically 50%, however, where your buying power is particularly strong we should be able to return close to your cost price. Note: Consignment will provide 10 times the return of a typical outright sale.

Outright Purchase: Component Sense will buy your excess and obsolete stock and our offers range from 3 – 15% depending on the age and type of stock. We will provide a cash offer where appropriate and this will return more cash for less effort than sending lists to many Brokers, who will “cherry pick” and leave you with piles of less desirable stock clogging your warehouse.

InPlant™: This is for any $1billion US Dollar plus company. Component Sense will use space in your warehouse, man it and monitor inventory so it is continuously live.
