The selling process for Union sellers

  1. Describe the inventory

    A short list or a photograph of the rack is enough to start. Tell us the wire types, rough quantities and where it is stored.

  2. Photographs do the pricing

    Four images per item — tag, jacket print, cut end, overview — usually replace a site visit entirely.

  3. Review the evaluation

    We return a line-item number with the items we are buying and the items we are passing on, and you decide what to sell.

  4. Collection and payment

    Pickup is arranged across the Upstate, with freight coordinated so you are not asked to move reels you cannot handle safely. We pay on collection, by the method agreed before the truck is booked.
