To compare offers for surplus THGBMUG6C1LBAIL, first confirm that each proposal covers the same identified stock and quantity. Then check the amount payable to your business, the conditions attached, and the costs you have explicitly agreed to bear. Calculate the amount remaining after those listed costs. Keep unknown charges and unresolved conditions visible before choosing a proposal.
A Common Basis for Comparing Offers
Start with your prepared stock list. The surplus inventory-list guide covers that input. Here, confirm exactly what each offer covers before comparing amounts.
Fix the stock reference. Record THGBMUG6C1LBAIL, the list version, lot references and piece count. Keep any different ordering code outside this comparison. A shared model name does not make separately identified lots the same stock.
Match the sale quantity. Check whether each proposal covers the whole identified lot or a partial release. If one covers fewer pieces, request a revised proposal for the common quantity. Keep separate scenarios when the quantities cannot be aligned.
Identify the amount and currency. Confirm whether the figure is the amount payable to you or a resale price quoted to another party. These are different amounts. Record the currency beside each figure.
Keep the condition and packaging descriptions tied to the selected lot references. If a proposal requires different stock, review it separately. Date the comparison and retain each party's confirmation of the stock and quantity covered.
Offer Conditions and Seller Costs
Compare the terms behind each amount before subtracting costs. A higher figure may depend on a later event or leave a charge for you to confirm.
Write down the conditions. Capture the payment trigger, acceptance process, shipping arrangements and proposed return conditions. Keep the actual wording and offer version. A note saying "payment after inspection" leaves important questions unanswered.
Resolve who does what. Ask which inspection is proposed, who reviews it and what happens if a finding needs clarification. Record who arranges shipping and who bears each agreed charge. Keep the quality review separate from the commercial comparison.
Separate confirmed and unknown costs. Include only costs explicitly assigned to your business. Distinguish a charge already included in the offered amount from a separate deduction. Ask about an unclear item instead of counting it twice or entering zero.
Use a table like this for each proposal:
Condition | What the Seller Needs to Confirm | Effect on the Comparison |
|---|---|---|
Payment | Amount payable, triggering event and stated timing | Identifies the proposed payment conditions |
Acceptance | Criteria, review scope and handling of disputed findings | Identifies conditions that remain unresolved |
Outbound shipping | Collection point, arrangement and agreed payer | Identifies a seller cost when applicable |
Return arrangements | Circumstances, destination and payer | Keeps possible charges visible until clarified |
Other deductions | Description, amount and whether already included | Prevents missing or duplicate deductions |
Mark each condition and cost confirmed, conditional or unanswered. Use those labels when calculating and reviewing the amount remaining.
The Amount Retained by the Seller
Subtract the confirmed seller costs from the amount payable for the same stock and quantity. Name the costs covered by the result. It is not a complete profit or net-proceeds figure when other relevant costs remain unresolved.
Use one calculation basis. Write: amount payable to the seller minus the separately listed seller costs. Do not subtract a buyer's expense unless the proposal also assigns it to you. Use the same currency throughout.
Show the arithmetic. List each deduction rather than entering only a final figure. The surplus component floor-price guide explains how your private minimum amount differs from an actual offer.
Show a provisional total and list unknown costs beside it. If a relevant charge is unknown, name it and request clarification. Do not use an incomplete figure to declare a final winner.
Illustrative only. Suppose two fictional proposals cover the same identified 1,000 pieces of THGBMUG6C1LBAIL. All figures below are assumed USD amounts. They are not market prices or actual StockWake offers.
Comparison Item | Offer A | Offer B |
|---|---|---|
Amount payable to the seller | USD 6,500 | USD 6,400 |
Separately agreed seller packing cost | USD 50 | USD 50 |
Separately agreed seller outbound freight | USD 200 | USD 50 |
Amount remaining after these listed costs | USD 6,250 | USD 6,300 |
Offer A leaves USD 6,500 − USD 50 − USD 200 = USD 6,250. Offer B leaves USD 6,400 − USD 50 − USD 50 = USD 6,300. B leaves USD 50 more after these costs, despite its lower headline amount.
The example excludes every cost not listed. Any relevant unconfirmed deduction or conditional return charge remains outside the calculation. Payment and acceptance conditions must also be reviewed. The arithmetic alone does not establish which proposal you should accept.
Open Issues and Decision Records
Turn each unanswered condition into a specific question. Assign the question before asking the decision-maker to choose an offer.
Identify the missing answer. Record who must reply and which decision depends on that reply. Ask who pays outbound freight rather than writing "shipping unclear."
Record the next step. The person authorized to decide can request clarification, put the proposal on hold, or approve the next step under the stated terms. An unanswered condition remains open.
Recheck changed offers. Recalculate when quantity, lot, currency, packaging or cost allocation changes. Keep the earlier version so you can explain what changed and why.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Compare Offers for Different Quantities?
Keep them as separate scenarios unless the parties confirm a common quantity. A higher unit amount for a small release does not describe what the remaining stock will sell for. Record the proposed quantity and packaging changes before comparing the amounts.
Which Costs Should I Deduct?
Deduct separately stated costs that you have explicitly agreed to bear. Check whether each charge is already included in the offered amount. Keep the payer and scope visible so an expense is neither omitted nor counted twice.
What Should I Do With an Unknown Fee?
Mark it unknown and ask for the amount or calculation basis. Do not enter zero. Show any calculation as provisional until the relevant charge is resolved, and record which decision depends on that answer.
Does the Highest Offered Amount Leave Me the Most?
Not necessarily. Compare the amount payable to you after the specified seller costs. Then review the payment and acceptance conditions. A larger headline figure can leave less after the listed deductions, as the hypothetical example shows.
Can I Rely on an Earlier Decision After an Offer Changes?
Check what changed before relying on the earlier decision. A new quantity, lot, currency or cost allocation can change the comparison. Recalculate affected amounts and ask the authorized decision-maker to confirm the revised terms. Keep both offer versions.
Conclusion and Next Step
Resolve the questions that could change your choice. Then keep the exact offer versions, the listed-cost subtotal and the seller's approved next action together. If a relevant charge is still unknown, retain a provisional result rather than treating the offer as fully compared.
