Professional disposals: lots and office fleets

The USM Haller units installed in head offices between the eighties and the two-thousands are reaching the end of their cycle. They often end up in a skip, when they could serve for another thirty years.

What we take

We take USM Haller in every form: storage, side units, low units, hanging-file pedestals, Kitos tables. We also take seating by identified designers in documented editions, as well as meeting tables and lighting by recognised makers.

Generic office furniture, partition screens and unsigned production seating are not for us: at our price level, they have no second-hand market.

What we bring

We dismantle into labelled modules (see assembly and disassembly) and give you a priced inventory by lot. When we commit to a handover date, we hold to it.

What we need

Send us a photo inventory, even one taken on a phone, the number of workstations, and the building's access constraints and hours. Above all, the deadline.

In a lot of a hundred pieces, there are often three or four signed ones. A generalist has neither the time to authenticate them nor the clientele to sell them, so they earn more by setting them aside and selling them to us than by selling them piecemeal.

We buy outright, from photographs, and we answer quickly. We do not renegotiate on site unless the piece genuinely differs from the photographs, and then we document the difference.

For a complete specialist stock, it is best to talk directly.

On an estate or a liquidation, we work in two stages. First we write a reasoned valuation that can go into the file, then we buy the lots that fall within our specialism.

We work alongside the auction houses. We are most useful where a generalist valuation undervalues, such as a USM in a rare colour or an author piece nobody has identified.

For interior architects, we take back what falls within our scope at the end of a project, and we supply at the start: see our trade offer.

In hotels and restaurants, a renovation releases coherent sets: seating, lighting, lobby furniture. A matching set sells better than a single piece. Condition is all that matters, and we tell you precisely what we can still take.

1. You write to us with the nature of the job, the volume, the location and the deadline. One overall photograph is enough.
2. We sort from the inventory, lot by lot, what we take and what we leave.
3. We make you a priced offer by lot, with, where useful, the probable resale price behind it.
4. For amounts that warrant one, we sign a deed of sale.
5. We arrange collection anywhere in France, at our cost, dismantling included.
6. Settlement is by bank transfer, on the contract's terms.

We do not disclose where the pieces we buy come from, and no names appear on our product pages without your explicit consent.

Write to us at infos@lapierremarket.fr or use the contact form. If you have a fixed deadline, put it in the first line.

Our buying scope, brand by brand, is on the sell page, authentication before disposal is covered under USM Haller appraisal, and the case for second-hand under circular economy.
