How to track ROI & work with the team on a deal
See the estimated ROI, work with our team during evaluation, and add items to make the pickup worthwhile.
Step-by-step
- After you submit, our team evaluates the pickup and estimates the ROI.
- You get a notification each time the status moves forward.
- A low ROI means the pickup cost is high against the value - we'll suggest adding items.
- The team can release the request back to draft so you can add more.
- Add higher-value items to push the ROI into the green zone.

Here I'll show you the part behind the scenes - how we evaluate your pickup, estimate the return on investment, and work with you to add items so the economics of the pickup make sense for everyone.
On our side we try to calculate the return of investment, and we give you an estimate of the quote for the service - we charge for the service of picking up, and we tell you how much it will cost. When our team starts working, we switch the item to the next step. Every time we move your pickup request forward, you get a notification. Right now it's under reuse it evaluation. You don't need to do anything at this stage, but you know something is happening - we're analyzing what you sent us. Your estimated ROI changes as we work the numbers. In this case it's three point three six, which is very low. We want to see numbers like one hundred, two hundred, five hundred, a thousand percent - that's a great deal, where the pickup cost is small against the value of the item. When the ROI is poor, we recommend adding more items to significantly increase the value and the ROI of this pickup. Our team can release this pickup request back to you so you can keep adding items. Now it's back to draft, unsubmitted, so you can still change it. I'll add another item - let's make the economy of this pickup more valuable - and add it consignment only to the pickup request. Now the pickup has four items. Assume the fourth item is high value - it significantly improves the health, the ROI of this pickup. Now the estimated ROI jumps to over three hundred percent, which is the green zone. This is something you'd be interested in, and we'd be interested in, because we have the potential to sell it on the market for a fair price.
