Record your lot details
State the magnet shape, number of items or net weight, dimensions and degree of segregation.
Initial assessment
Prepare to sell magnets safely and with the right technical information
A well-founded enquiry starts with the material form, net quantity, origin, photographs and documents. Only then can the assessment route, a potential valuation and handover arrangements be agreed.
Six direct routes
Classify the material, origin and condition correctly
Choose the page that matches the magnet shape, assembly, original application or pricing question. Links provide further information on selling, recycling or elemental materials where relevant.
Identify magnet grades
Do not distinguish NdFeB, SmCo, ferrite and AlNiCo by holding force or surface appearance alone.
Document the source application
Document the machine, motor, generator, hard drive or manufacturing process as the material's origin.
Establish the pricing basis
State the material form, net quantity, condition, degree of segregation and available documents for the price assessment.
Agree shipping arrangements
Do not move or send strong magnets or fine particulate materials without prior agreement.
Review the process
Work through photographs, documents, initial assessment, commercial terms and shipping arrangements in a clear sequence.
