No detailed spreadsheet needed — something like "approximately 18 pallets of returned electronics at a warehouse in New Jersey" is enough to start. Typical projects are 100+ units, but high-value smaller lots are welcome. Pickups are reviewed and confirmed in writing (one skid minimum); offers depend on product and market demand.
