Buyer evaluation factors

How Buyers May Evaluate Complete Appliances

Complete appliances may be quoted per item or per lot and can be evaluated differently from separated metal, plastic or electronic components.

  • Appliance type

    The category, size, capacity, specification and construction of the appliance.

  • Age and condition

    Whether the appliance works and its visible condition, damage, corrosion or wear.

  • Completeness

    Whether compressors, motors, drums, cables, doors and other important parts are included.

  • Recoverable components

    The reusable or recyclable material remaining after safe processing.

  • Location and handling

    Pickup distance, stairs, access restrictions, weight and special handling requirements.

  • Buyer inspection

    The selected buyer confirms acceptance, classification, applicable deductions and the final offer.

Quote preparation

Information to Share Before Requesting an Appliance Quote

Providing complete information can help participating buyers assess whether they can consider the appliance before collection. Include the appliance category, brand and model, approximate age, capacity or size, working condition, visible damage, missing components and clear photographs.

Also disclose your locality, floor number, lift availability, narrow entrances, stairs and other access restrictions. Information provided before pickup is preliminary; the selected buyer confirms acceptance and the final offer after inspection.

Photographs and descriptions can support an initial assessment, but they do not guarantee acceptance, pickup availability or a final price.
