Why sell to us
Identifying and Listing Your Surplus Fafnir Bearings
When preparing to sell your surplus Fafnir bearings, building an accurate inventory list is the first step toward receiving a top dollar offer. Fafnir bearings are known for their specific nomenclature, which often includes prefixes and suffixes that denote critical features such as seal types, cage materials, and internal clearances. Start by examining the original packaging, where the complete part number is typically printed on the label. Look for common Fafnir designations like the 200K series, 300K series, or the popular RA and RAK housed units. If the boxes are missing or illegible, you can often find the part number stamped directly onto the outer ring or the face of the bearing itself.
For large lots where creating a line-by-line spreadsheet is too time-consuming, you do not need to worry about detailing every single piece. You can simply take clear, well-lit photographs of the shelves, bins, or pallets, ensuring that the labels and part numbers on the visible boxes can be read. Our experienced purchasing team can evaluate the lot based on these images and provide a comprehensive offer for the entire group. If you do have a computerized inventory list from your MRO system, exporting it to a spreadsheet with quantities and part numbers is highly effective. Be sure to note any special precision classes, such as ABEC 7 or ABEC 9, which are common in Fafnir's super precision aerospace and machine tool bearings, as these details significantly impact the valuation of your surplus inventory.
What we buy
How Packaging and Condition Impact Your Fafnir Bearing Offer
The condition of your Fafnir bearings and their packaging plays a crucial role in determining the final offer you receive. The highest valuations are always given to bearings that remain in their original, factory-sealed boxes. Fafnir packaging, whether it is the older classic boxes or newer Timken-branded boxes that house Fafnir products, provides vital protection against environmental factors. Bearings that are still wrapped in their original VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper or sealed in plastic with the factory preservative grease intact retain their full utility and command top dollar.
However, we also purchase bearings in less-than-perfect condition. If boxes have been opened for inspection, or if the outer packaging shows signs of shelf wear, dust, or fading from years of storage, the bearings inside are often still perfectly viable. We evaluate these items based on the integrity of the bearing itself. Even loose bearings that have lost their original boxes can be purchased, provided they have been stored in a clean, dry environment and remain free from rust, pitting, or handling damage. When assessing your inventory, please note whether the items are crated, palletized, or sitting loose in bins. Bearings that have been exposed to moisture or show visible corrosion will naturally receive a lower valuation, but we are still interested in reviewing your complete lot. Proper storage in a climate-controlled MRO storeroom preserves the protective oil film on the steel components, ensuring that your surplus Fafnir bearings maintain their maximum value on the secondary market.
How it works
Industries Generating Fafnir Surplus and Our Purchasing Process
Surplus Fafnir bearings originate from a wide variety of industrial environments and transitional situations. We frequently purchase excess inventory from agricultural equipment manufacturers, aerospace maintenance facilities, and machine tool rebuilders who have shifted their production lines or upgraded their machinery. Facility closures, corporate mergers, and the consolidation of MRO storerooms often reveal hidden caches of obsolete Fafnir bearings that are no longer needed for current operations. Additionally, industrial distributors who need to clear out slow-moving or dead stock to make room for new product lines regularly turn to us to liquidate their overstock efficiently.
Our purchasing process is designed to be entirely frictionless for your organization. Once you provide us with a list or photographs of your surplus Fafnir bearings, our team will promptly analyze the inventory and present a competitive offer. If you accept, we handle all the logistical details. You will be paid upfront before any material leaves your facility, ensuring a secure and straightforward transaction. We arrange and cover the cost of all freight, whether it requires dispatching a dedicated truck for multiple pallets or coordinating parcel shipping for smaller, high-value lots. Your only responsibility is to have the bearings securely packed and ready for the carrier. By partnering with us, you can quickly transform idle Fafnir inventory into usable funds without the typical delays or complications associated with liquidating industrial assets.

How do I sell a large lot of Fafnir bearings if I don't have an inventory list?
You do not need to create a detailed list. Simply take clear photographs of the shelves, bins, or pallets where the bearings are stored, making sure the part numbers on the boxes are visible. We can evaluate your surplus based on those images.
