Working Principles

Online trading of industrial materials takes place on the Metal Discounts platform, which is effective, independent, and anonymous. As a reseller, we are strictly a business-to-business platform. Sign up through the website or contact us if you are interested in increasing sales or finding the highest, best use for surplus, obsolete, or secondary materials. In order to sell their material, Metal Discounts asks them for information about the material, its location, and its condition. Once Metal Discounts has listed the material on the Platform and used its marketing program to identify a buyer, Metal Discounts then purchases the material from the seller and sells it to the buyer. Buyers and sellers can leverage the power of the platform anonymously, so they don’t have to worry about channel conflicts or disclosing sensitive inventory information to competitors. A very small listing fee is charged by Metal Discounts to defray operational costs, but it generally makes money by using the Website’s reach and its sales team’s experience to find buyers willing to pay more than the seller’s asking price. Metal Discounts expects sellers on the site to provide quality material and remedy any defects.
