How it works
A practical path from surplus to recovery.
Sell the Surplus helps businesses assess and prepare idle inventory for recovery, including unused or overstock lumber and building materials. We start with a review—not a claim that every item will sell.
01
Send inventory information
Upload the photos, invoices, spreadsheets, or exports you already have. A short note and general location can help, but most information can be incomplete.
02
We review the opportunity
Our team reviews the submission, identifies where clarification is useful, and determines whether the inventory appears worth pursuing.
03
Review the recovery plan
If there is a viable path, you receive a preliminary plan describing the inventory, expected resale range, likely sales approach, and next information needed.
04
Approve before marketing
Nothing is published, offered, or sold without your approval of the proposed approach and terms.
05
Coordinate buyer and logistics
When a sale is approved, buyer pickup and buyer-arranged freight are prioritized whenever practical.
