Frequently asked questions

Do you really pay for shipping?

Yes. For purchases we agree to make, we arrange and cover transportation, freight and logistics costs for moving the purchased material — including hauling equipment, rigging, towing and permits for vehicles and heavy equipment, as applicable.

Why don't you list prices?

Every offer depends on review. Pricing depends on type, size, condition, quantity, location and resale potential, so we look at your material first and then discuss pricing with you.

Do you buy used material?

Often, yes. We consider new and used pipe and new and used control valves. For ball valves, check valves and most other valve types, new and unused is preferred, with used units reviewed case by case. Rosemount transmitters must be new and never installed.

What pipe lengths do you buy?

All of them. Long pipe (36 ft and longer) is our preferred category and generally earns our highest prices. Short pipe (20 to under 36 ft) is priced on size, material and condition. Pipe under 20 ft is classed as scrap and priced accordingly.

How small or large a lot will you buy?

From a single item to surplus lots, excess stock and full inventory liquidations — and for vehicles, single units up to complete fleets.

What should I send to get an accurate offer?

Manufacturer, model, size, pressure rating, material, quantity, condition, location and a few photos. For pipe add grade, diameter, wall thickness, length and coating.
