Looks complete. A counterparty can price this without chasing you.
What makes a complete wholesale offer
A complete offer answers every question a counterparty would otherwise have to ask, so they can price it and decide in one read. In wholesale phone and electronics trading that means the exact device, how many, what condition, the spec, whether it is locked, where it sits, on what terms, and for how long the offer stands.
The fields this formatter asks for map to the details experienced traders look for first:
- Device and quantity. The exact model and the unit count. "iPhones, good price" is not an offer; "Apple iPhone 15, 500 units" is.
- Condition or grade. New sealed, CPO, Grade A, B, C or salvage. Grade drives price more than almost anything else on used stock, so state it plainly.
- Spec. Storage, colour and the region or spec code (US LL/A, EU, global). A US-spec unit and a global-spec unit are different products at different prices.
- Lock status. Unlocked, carrier locked or mixed. A locked batch is worth less and sells into different markets, so buyers filter on it early.
- Location and incoterms. Where the stock is and on what Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP, DDP). This tells a buyer their real landed cost, not just the sticker price.
- Price and payment terms. Your asking price per unit if you are quoting one, and the payment method you will accept, for example TT in advance, on inspection, or through an escrow service the two parties choose.
- Validity and verification. How long the offer holds, and, for used stock, whether IMEI numbers can be shared so the buyer can run their own checks.
Why incomplete offers get ignored
A wholesale trading floor moves fast, and a buyer scanning dozens of listings will skip anything that forces a conversation before they can even judge it. An offer that says "iPhone 15, great stock, DM for price" makes the reader do the work: which spec, what grade, how many, where, locked or not, what price. Most will not bother, they move to the next line that already tells them.
Incomplete offers also invite mismatched replies and wasted time. If you leave grade off, half the responses will assume the grade they want and be disappointed; if you leave location off, buyers who cannot economically import from your region will engage and then drop out. Stating everything up front filters for the counterparties who can actually transact, which is the whole point. Reading offers well is a skill in itself, see the guide on how to read a wholesale electronics offer for the buyer's side of the same discipline.
Setting a sensible price is part of a complete offer too. If you are still working out your number, run the lot through the wholesale margin calculator first, then bring the figure back here.
WTB and WTS: what the labels mean
WTS means Want To Sell and WTB means Want To Buy. They are the two sides of every wholesale post: a WTS advertises stock you have, a WTB describes stock you need.
The two use almost the same fields, but the emphasis differs. A WTS leads with what you are holding: exact model, quantity available, grade, spec, lock status, where it ships from and your asking terms. A WTB leads with what you will accept: the model and quantity you need, the grades and specs that qualify, your target delivery location and the payment terms you can offer, so only sellers who can genuinely fill it reply. This formatter switches the wording to match whichever you pick, and orders the fields the way traders expect to read them.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write a wholesale offer?
State whether you are buying or selling, then give the exact device, quantity, condition or grade, key spec (storage, colour, region or spec code), lock status, stock location, incoterms, unit price if you are quoting one, payment terms and how long the offer is valid. A complete offer lets a counterparty price and decide without a back-and-forth. This formatter takes those fields and lays them out in the trade's usual order.
What does WTS mean?
WTS stands for Want To Sell. A trader posts a WTS offer to advertise stock they have available, with the device, quantity, grade, spec, location and asking terms. It is the sell-side counterpart of WTB (Want To Buy).
What does WTB mean?
WTB stands for Want To Buy. A trader posts a WTB offer to source stock they need, describing the exact device, quantity, acceptable grade and spec, target location and payment terms so sellers know whether they can fill it. It is the buy-side counterpart of WTS (Want To Sell).
What should I include in a WTB or WTS offer?
Include the exact model, quantity, condition or grade, spec (storage, colour, region or spec code), lock status, stock or delivery location, incoterms, unit price if quoted, accepted payment terms and a validity window. For used or refurbished stock, note whether IMEI numbers can be shared for checking. Leaving any of these out is the usual reason an offer gets skipped. There is no set minimum order quantity, that is yours to state.
Does this tool post my offer to Aikon?
