Your Surplus Inventory
Is Worth 4× More
Than You're Getting

We've mapped your entire AccuPath component inventory into five targeted build kits — each one reaching buyers who will pay full value. You handle the calls. We handle the marketing.

Vs bulk liquidation

Surplus liquidation leaves most of the value on the table

Generic bulk liquidators don't understand specialty industrial equipment. Buyers who buy servo systems, encoder systems, and lab liquid handlers at surplus auction pay pennies — because they can't see what they're getting.

📦

Traditional Surplus Route

10–20¢

recovered per dollar of market value through bulk liquidation or generic auction channels

  • Buyers can't identify AccuPath-specific components
  • Specialty servo & encoder systems massively undervalued
  • Lab liquid handling equipment sold as scrap weight
  • $1.2M inventory → $120–240k gross at best
  • Your team still handles every inquiry for low returns
🎯

The Kit Strategy

60–77¢

net margin by bundling into targeted build kits aimed at buyers who want exactly what you have

  • CNC builders paying $14k for a Sigma 7 motion platform
  • Biotech labs paying $11k for a complete liquid handling stack
  • Makers paying premium for curated, documented kits
  • $298k gross → $209k net recovery
  • Your team only talks to serious, qualified buyers

Five kits. Five buyer communities. All from your existing inventory.

Each kit includes a complete build plan, parts list, and marketplace listings targeting the exact buyers who will pay full value — with full documentation so buyers feel confident.

Clean division. Full transparency. You stay in control.

Crystal Diagnostics retains ownership of inventory and all customer relationships. We handle the marketing and listing work — you take the calls, close the deals, and ship the kits.

This is a starting proposal.  The structure below is what we think makes sense — but every piece of it is open to discussion. Fee, split, responsibilities, contract terms — let's find what works for both sides.
