Projects slip, orders get cancelled, and surplus materials tie up warehouse space and working capital. Source on spec with private RFQs and liquidate leftover stock through invite-only auctions — on project timelines.
Contractors, builders, material suppliers, and restoration specialists use private tools to source and clear volume.
Material suppliers, distributors, and contractors with end-of-project surplus run invite-only auctions to move tile, lumber, drywall, steel, flooring, and discontinued product lines — without telegraphing weak pricing to the broader distributor network.
For SellersContractors, builders, and project managers launch Non-Catalog RFQs with exact specifications, delivery windows, and jobsite locations — then compare competitive bids from qualified material suppliers in private.
For BuyersTrades scale from pallet-level specialty items and truckload surplus to container and multi-container commercial programs. RFQs commonly cover tens of thousands of square feet or linear feet of material.
See Private AuctionsSource on spec. Liquidate surplus before it becomes dead inventory. Keep project pricing between trade partners.
End-of-project surplus cleared to contractors who can use it now — four private steps.
Post the surplus lot — product type, grade, quantity, pickup location, and delivery terms. Set reserve and auction duration.
Send invitations to specific regional contractors, restoration specialists, or project managers who can actually take the volume.
Invited contractors register free, review the material, and bid during the auction window. Price discovery happens privately.
Award the winning bid, coordinate pickup or freight through the platform, and clear warehouse space on your schedule.
