A mine is retiring 30 25 t dump trucks, 2018 to 2020, 60,000 to 90,000 km.

Three grades: 12 ready to work, 13 needing reconditioning, 5 for parts.

A buyer wants the lot at 20% below expectation. How should we price?

    Price by grade and then apply a lot discount; one average price lets the buyer cherry-pick.

    The five parts trucks are worth more sold separately; engines and gearboxes have a local market.

    Send a condition list to three bidders; the spread can reach 15%, so do not talk to one only.
