LOAD COMPARISON

05 / 06

Compare competing loads on one decision basis

Review value, coverage, condition, category mix, expected recovery, and acquisition cost without letting load size distort the comparison.

Account sign-up first — your manifest upload comes right after.

Load comparison ledger

Different manifests need a common language

A large Seller Value can make one load look stronger even when its evidence or recovery profile is weaker. Liquidata uses comparable definitions across analyses so the tradeoffs stay visible.

Decision to make

Which load fits the channel after value, coverage, and cost are normalized?

EVIDENCE PATH

Build one scorecard across competing manifests

Same definitions across every load, so size stops standing in for strength.

  1. 01

    Normalize the value terms

    Use Seller Value, Fair Value, Expected Resale Revenue, and acquisition cost consistently across loads.

  2. 02

    Inspect the inventory shape

    Compare condition, category concentration, item count, quantity, and evidence coverage.

  3. 03

    Rank the decision factors

    Prioritize the loads that fit your resale model and preserve an adequate cushion after operating costs.

DECISION OUTPUT

Compare loads without letting size hide the risk

Comparable definitions

Stop switching between seller retail, researched retail, and recovery without clear labels.

Mix awareness

See when category concentration or condition changes the operating case.

Faster screening

Remove weak candidates before detailed negotiation consumes the team.

Put your current shortlist on one basis.

Questions

Questions to settle before you use this decision

Can I compare loads with different item counts?

Yes. Percentage measures and explicit coverage make differently sized loads easier to compare, while dollar totals remain available for capital planning.

Does Liquidata choose the winning load?

No. Liquidata organizes the evidence. Your operating costs, channels, capacity, and risk tolerance determine which load fits.

Can listed and sold loads be compared?

They can be viewed together only when the price basis stays explicit. Asking price and recorded final sale price must not be presented as the same cohort.
