Lot Configuration — Should You Split?
Option A · Whole Lot
$565,000–$590,400
Single buyer, faster close (4–7d). Slight discount for bulk. Standard recovery.
★ Option B · Split (Recommended)
$618,000–$641,000
Sell 8 Like New units at premium ($29K+ each). Sell remaining 16 as sub-lot. Longer process (~10–14d) but higher ceiling.
Option C · Piecemeal
$580,000–$620,000
Maximize per-unit value. Highest effort, highest timeline risk (21–35d). Recommended only with high buyer pipeline.
SiliconX Recommendation: Split the lot. The Like New units carry a verified condition premium and are best sold separately to hyperscaler buyers paying for clean, recent hardware. The remaining sub-lot is still Tier A marketability with a projected 5–8 day close. Total delta vs. whole-lot sale: +$28,000–$51,000 for approximately 6 additional days of effort.
