GEP Market brings full price visibility, independent verification, and real market intelligence to the excess electronic component market — a $627 billion industry that has operated in opacity for decades.
How It Works
Every bid and ask is public. Every transaction is independently tested. Every price is a real data point — visible to every approved member.
Every buyer and seller registers with GEP Market and undergoes account validation. Each approved company receives a unique internal account ID. Multiple locations of the same company each receive their own separate ID.
Sellers post excess with MPN, manufacturer, quantity, date code, and asking price. All part numbers are normalized to alphanumeric only — eliminating the mismatches that plague the traditional market.
All bids and asks are visible to every approved member. For the first time, sellers can see what buyers are actually willing to pay. Real price discovery — not broker-filtered offers.
Buyers submit WTB lists — multiple part numbers with target prices and minimum date codes. Each entry auto-creates a bid in the order book. WTB bids expire after 7 days, keeping the book live and accurate.
All material is independently tested — IDEA-STD-1010B for commercial buyers, AS6081 for aerospace and defense. Failed tests and counterfeit findings are published publicly on the part number record.
Every transaction is permanently recorded with a unique random public ID — protecting competitive confidentiality while maintaining full auditability. No one can link multiple transactions to the same company from public data.
Radical Transparency
The traditional broker market operates on information asymmetry. Sellers don't know what buyers pay. GEP Market ends that permanently.
Every offer is visible to every approved member — creating genuine price discovery for the first time in this market.
Each transaction gets a unique random ID. No one can link multiple deals to a single company from public data. Full auditability maintained internally.
Every transaction requires third-party authentication under IDEA-STD-1010B or AS6081. Counterfeit findings published publicly on the part number record.
Approved members can view complete transaction history for any part number — seller ID, buyer ID, quantity, date code, test site, and date.
Market Intelligence
For the first time, OEM and EMS companies can see real broker bids on their material — not filtered offers, not negotiated discounts. The real number.
Post your MPN, quantity, and asking price. Your listing enters the public order book immediately.
While the GEP Market buyer network grows, your excess is simultaneously marketed through traditional broker channels — maximum exposure from day one.
When brokers make offers for your material, those offers are recorded as bids in the GEP Market order book — visible to you in real time under anonymous IDs.
For the first time you can see exactly what the market is willing to pay for your excess — and compare it against direct buyer offers as the GEP Market network grows.
Growth Roadmap
GEP Market grows in deliberate stages — building supply, then demand, then manufacturer partnerships. Each phase funded by the last.
Source excess inventory from OEM and EMS companies that don't currently participate in the traditional broker market. That material is simultaneously marketed through traditional channels — ensuring sellers always have a buyer from day one. All transactions require buyers to register with GEP Market, steadily building the demand side. Sellers receive superior recovery versus traditional channels and develop confidence in the platform.
The pivotal phase — OEM and EMS companies begin purchasing directly from each other on the platform, eliminating broker intermediaries entirely. GEP Market becomes the trusted intermediary: holding material, verifying it through independent testing, and releasing payment on successful authentication. Deal directly with other manufacturers at fair, transparent prices. Trust but verify.
Component manufacturers partner with GEP Market by driving their customers to list excess inventory exclusively on the platform. In return, GEP Market shares revenue generated from transactions involving their parts. Participating manufacturers receive monthly sales data for their components — unprecedented visibility into their parts' aftermarket activity. A revenue stream that aligns manufacturer interests with the growth of the marketplace.
