Every liquidation decision starts the same way: you need a real number. Not a rumor about what pallets go for, not a percentage someone quoted on a forum — an actual offer for your actual inventory. Getting a quote from Recouply is designed to make that first step take about a minute, so the decision can be made with numbers instead of dread.
What you need before you start
One of the following — more is better, but any one works:
- An ASIN or listing URL — for single-product lots, this is enough; the listing tells us price history, reviews, and category.
- A manifest — a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) with SKUs/ASINs/UPCs, quantities, and unit values. An FBA removal report or seller-account export works as-is. Multi-hundred-row manifests are fine.
- Photos — for goods with no listing data (generics, discontinued items, mixed lots), clear photos of the products and packaging.
Plus two facts: honest condition (new in retail packaging, damaged boxes, customer returns) and where the inventory sits — FBA, a 3PL, or your own space. That’s the entire application.
What happens when you get a quote from Recouply
- The instant estimate. InstantQuote, our pricing tool, matches your list against what comparable goods have actually sold for and what our buyers are asking for right now. Manifests are read line by line — it prices product by product, not by a blanket percentage. The estimate comes back in about a minute.
- Specialist review. During business hours (9am–5pm CST, Mon–Fri), a specialist reviews the lot and sends a formal offer the same day. The offer is firm — it’s the number, not the start of a haggle.
- Your decision, on your timeline. The quote costs nothing and obligates nothing. Some sellers accept same-day; others use the number to negotiate a vendor return or to justify holding. Both are wins — the point is deciding with a real figure on the table.
- If you accept: pickup coordinated wherever the goods sit (FBA removals can ship straight to our dock), and payment in full — one direct deposit — once the inventory is received and counted, with a line-by-line count sheet.
How to make your quote come back higher
The estimate is only as good as the information in it. Three inputs move the number most: a manifest with identifiers (ASINs/UPCs let us price against real comps instead of assumptions), honest condition grading (surprises at the count help nobody), and intact case packs noted as such. The full list is in our guide to getting top dollar when liquidating inventory.
What the quote is really for
A bulk offer is a decision tool even when you don’t take it. Weigh it against six months of storage fees and the discount-and-wait path’s realistic net (our is-liquidation-good-or-bad framework walks the comparison), and the right move becomes obvious — sometimes it’s selling the lot, sometimes it’s keeping it. Either way, you traded a minute of effort for certainty.

Common questions
Does the quote cost anything or commit me to selling?
No and no. The estimate is instant and free; the formal offer is firm but entirely yours to accept or decline.
What if my quantity is listed in the manifest?
Then you don’t need to type it — InstantQuote reads quantities from the manifest and prices the lot from the rows themselves.
Do you quote customer returns and unmanifested lots?
Yes — photos plus an honest condition description get a real estimate. Documented lots simply price tighter, because less uncertainty is priced in.
