Administrative costs—including pickup, storage, advertising, and disposal—are deducted from all sale proceeds. These costs help cover necessary services such as e-waste fees (averaging $6.00 per unit), staffing, and warehouse overhead.
Net proceeds are then distributed between Surplus Services and the selling department based on the following tiered model:
| Sale Price | Amount Retained by Surplus Services | Amount Returned to Department |
|---|---|---|
| $2,500 or less | 100% | 0% |
| $2,501 and above | 65% | 35% |
