Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of effectively managing excess and obsolete inventory (E&O) in the semiconductor industry, highlighting key characteristics that facilitate faster transactions and better pricing for such materials [2][5]. Group 1: Characteristics of Fast-Moving E&O Inventory - The liquidity of the material is crucial; more common materials like ST, TI, and NXP are easier to sell, while less liquid items may require significant price reductions to attract buyers [2]. - Reasonable transaction prices (TP) are essential; materials that have been held for a long time cannot be sold at market prices [3]. - The date code (DC) of the components acts as an identifier, with newer DCs generally holding higher value, although newer items may not sell quickly due to buyer price resistance [4]. - Delivery location and currency also play a significant role; local transactions are preferred to avoid customs issues and additional costs, increasing the likelihood of successful sales [5]. Group 2: Service and User Engagement - The company’s platform, "Chip Superman," has served 19,800 users since its launch in 2019, facilitating rapid inventory clearance, with transactions completed in as little as half a day [6][5]. - The platform encourages users to provide clear photos of the materials, which can enhance the attractiveness of the listings [5].
