Electronica 2010

Good news, Electronica 2010 opens its doors again next month (9th - 12th) and our parent company Cyclops Electronics will be there again along with the Trading Specialists division.

Daniel Yodaiken, Cyclops Electronics Managing Director is looking forward to meeting again with our friends and customers who will be guaranteed a warm welcome.

As before we will be happy to receive any excess stock lists on the stand and we have the communications on hand to provide you with a speedy response. Remember, once we have agreed a price we can provide immediate payment and we will even pay the freight costs.

What could be better, meeting up with friends and colleagues again and making money in the process.

Have a great show.

Are you old enough to remember “The A-Team”?

There was one character Hannibal Smith and his catchphrase was “I love it when a plan comes together” well fortunately that's what has happened for Trading Specialists. Our new warehouse has come on stream just as the influx of freshly bought E&O material arrived.

Our customers have responded brilliantly to our request for them to check their inventory for excess and obsolete stock and we have succesfully negotiated a fair price to give their balance sheet a good boost. Let's face it, if stock hasn't moved in 12 months then it's very unlikely to move at all.

Now all I have to do is find more excess stock to buy and keep the stock levels up.

Have you got any material you want to sell?

Somethings Never Change!

I had to smile the other day, whilst flicking through a magazine I came across an advert from one of those high end Hi-Fi companies advertising their latest valve audio amplifier. Yes, that's right it had been built using valves.

As I said it made me smile but it also made me feel my age, after all my first job in the electronics industry was selling electronic components that included valves. I think it just shows that sooner or later everything comes full circle, as my sales career progressed there came a time when you couldn't give them away (valves) let alone sell them and that seems to hold sway for components in general. 40+ years down the road and still in the electronics industry but nowadays I actually welcome obsolete electronic components and excess and EOL, that's my job now, buying and or managing this unwanted material created by the manufacturers. I work with a good team at Trading Specialists and I get a great kick out of sending companies big cheques for their unwanted component material.

Until next time,

Bob

Trading Specialists 5 Step Excess Electronic Component Disposal Plan

For a number of reasons excess, obsolete and EOL material is a fact of life for OEM and CEM companies, whether it is design changes or just cancelled orders unwanted stock can build up.

Well now with the Trading Specialists 5 Step Excess Electronic Component Disposal Plan this material doesn't have to affect the health of your company. Here is how it works:

1. Call and discuss your requirements, this can include help in identifying the relevant material or picking the material ready for shipping

2. Agree the best route to market for your material that suits you.
 
3. Arrange the transfer of the material to our UK warehouse.

4. Commence marketing and selling your material.

5. Bank your cheque.

It sounds simple and it is, Trading Specialists have experience and resources to handle any magnitude of material as well as the financial strength of the Cyclops Group to back it all up.

Our core business is Inventory Management and Trading Specialists already handle EOL material for multi-national OEM's as well as tier 1 & 2 CEM's, they have recognised the benefits of concentrating on their core business and allowing the specialists - Trading Specialists do what they do best.
