1.2. Introduction
This program is designed to be the most complete and easy to use tool for selling and buying excess and hard-to-find inventory ABSOLUTELY FREE.    It will allow you to compile the most complete excess component listing available.  The industry has literally hundreds of buyers looking for hard-to-find inventory.  If you participate, Component Exchange will bring them to you.   All you have to do is upload a list of parts you want to sell.  This program will also allow you to add parts you are looking for to a wish list and then let you know as soon as that part becomes available.  This program can be found on the WEB.  www.manex.com/ce/search  

Example:
Customer A has Excess inventory (meaning inventory they will not be using) of part 123
They place it (individually or mass import a large number of records) out as available/for sale under the ManexCE
Customer B happens to be looking for this part and does a search within the Manex CE
Customer A will appear as having the parts available and for sale
They then can contact Customer A directly and work out the purchase agreement for those stock items.
