JunkSell Price my lot

Business surplus, priced as one lot

What’s on your dock?

Gaylords, totes, drums, pallets, baskets, racks. It looks like junk, and it’s someone’s inventory. List it once, get one quote for the whole lot, and one pickup.

  • Not junk removal: you’re not paying to haul away things that sell.
  • Not a marketplace: no listings to post, no buyers to chase.

Start with the biggest pile

Then add the rest of the dock, line by line. Nothing is sent until you ask for the quote.

A lot is a manifest, not a listing

Write down everything on the dock, one line per kind of item, honestly graded. A buyer looking at the whole lot can plan one truck and price the lines together: the ones with resale value, the ones that go to recycling, and the ones that are disposal.

That is the gap JunkSell fills. Industrial auctions are built for machines, packaging marketplaces leave the listing work to you, and junk haulers charge to take things that could have sold.

Build my lot How it works

Example: how a mixed dock reads as a lot

  1. Gaylord boxes × 140 48x40x36, 5-wall, dry Likely resale
  2. IBC totes × 22 275 gal, food-grade, drained Likely resale
  3. Wood pallets × 300 48x40, about a third broken Sort and grade
  4. Wire baskets × 36 collapsible, two with broken welds Sort and grade
  5. Office chairs × 12 not packaging or handling gear Not taken

What sells, and what doesn’t

Reusable packaging and material-handling gear, in commercial quantities. Each item has its own condition rules.

Two checks before you ask

Value check Has value, maybe, or disposal? Three or four questions per item (for gaylords: dry, flaps, wall count, what it held) and an answer with the reason. No prices, just which side of the line it’s on. Truckload calculator How much of a truck is it? Turn lines into floor positions and trailers. A 53 ft dry van holds about 26 positions of 48 x 40 loaded straight, and pickup terms usually depend on how full it is.

Sell first, haul last

A hauler’s bill grows with every cubic yard on the truck, and empty containers are mostly air. Each reusable line you sell first is volume the hauler never charges for. In a plant closure or lease-end clear-out, that order of work matters more than any single price.

Junk removal vs selling surplus: the math · Cleanouts

  1. ReuseSell what has a second life: containers, pallets, racks, baskets.
  2. RecycleSend what has material value: baled fiber, scrap steel, plastic regrind.
  3. HaulOnly then, pay to remove what’s genuinely left.

Questions businesses ask

Do you buy household junk?

No. JunkSell is for business surplus only: reusable packaging, containers and handling gear in commercial quantities. Household items, vehicles and electronics have better routes, listed on what we don’t take.

What do you buy?

Gaylord boxes, IBC totes, steel, plastic and fiber drums, wood and plastic pallets, wire baskets, metal cages and racks, bulk bags, plastic and wood crates, cardboard bales, and handling equipment such as pallet racking and forklifts. See what we buy for the condition rules for each.

Is there a minimum?

Yes. Lots need commercial quantities, and the minimum depends on the product and where the pickup is, because freight is the biggest cost. The quote states it. Truckloads and minimums explains why.

Who pays for pickup?

It depends on the lot’s size and value. A full load of reusable stock is a different case from a few damaged pallets. The quote states the pickup terms.

Can I sell a mixed lot?

Yes. That is what the lot builder is for: one line per kind of item, one request, one quote and one pickup plan.

Do you buy damaged gaylords or pallets?

Some grades, for repair or recycling. The value check tells you whether a line is likely resale, possible, or disposal, and why.

Do you buy IBC totes that held chemicals?

It depends on what they held, how well they were emptied, and the documentation. Describe the contents on the lot line. IBC tote resale covers what decides it.

What about equipment such as forklifts and racking?

Listed under handling equipment and quoted case by case, from the make, model, size, condition and count.
