Is there a minimum quantity?
There is no fixed minimum, but the sale has to be worth running. A few pallets of a single product can be added to one of our collective auctions rather than sold on their own. A full warehouse or a complete discontinued range justifies a sale of its own. Tell us roughly what you have and we will advise.
