Sellers determine their own asking selling price.  Direct Alloys commission may be added to or included in the price at sellers discretion. Factors to consider for pricing include age, lot size, and individual piece size, as well as current market conditions and the urgency of sale.  After Direct Alloys has reviewed and accepted the listing request, we will add the item to the online Clearinghouse.   Direct Alloys will also request periodic updates of inventory status to keep listings active.  Their is no minimum list period or exclusivity for listings until a potential buyer has been identified.  Sellers have the option of using or removing items without notification to Direct Alloys.

When an inquiry is received for an item, Direct Alloys will notify the seller to reconfirm availability and pricing prior to quoting the item.  Feedback regarding pricing, etc. will also be provided.  The name of the customer, seller and specific material location are not identified until a sale is pending.

When a customer wishes to purchase a product through Direct Alloys, a e-mail is sent to the seller a e-mail notification of the item to be purchased including the pertinent customer information.  The seller notifies Direct Alloys of the applicable payment terms.   Direct Alloys then provides the buyer with the seller's contact details.  The purchase order is entered directly to the seller, with a copy sent to Direct Alloys.   Questions regarding the order should be channeled through Direct Alloys so that we may continue to assist the sales process.

Once the buyer enters the purchase order for a product quoted by Direct Alloys the steps to completing the sale are the same as would be used for standard products; including shipment, invoicing and collection.  Direct Alloys assists in these steps as necessary to complete the selling process.
