Founding Sellers
The first fifty sellers get the marketplace on their terms
PartsAndPlanes is new, and the first companies to put stock here are taking a chance on it. That deserves more than a free account. Fifty seats, first come, and the offer is written down so nobody has to take our word for it.
What a founding seat gets you
Pro for twelve months, no charge. The morning alert on every part you sell (buyers here and government solicitations), phone capture, phone numbers on buyer requests, the API. Normally $149 a month. After the year, the founding rate for as long as you keep the account.
Your first spreadsheet loaded for you. Send whatever your system exports. David maps the columns and loads it; you check it.
The Founding Seller mark on every listing and on your company page, permanently. Buyers will know who was here first.
Named in the launch note that goes to every buyer and every government contact on our list in October, with a link to your stock.
A direct line. David's cell, and a say in what gets built next.
What we ask
Real stock on the site within thirty days. A spreadsheet, phone photos, or the API. Part number, condition and quantity are enough to start.
Keep it honest. Listings older than sixty days drop off unless you confirm them; a one-click email does it. Buyers will never see a part you sold last year.
Answer the buyers who write. They contact you directly. We never sit in the middle and we take no commission.
Tell us what is wrong. One sentence when something does not work is worth more to us than a compliment.
Not sure your parts would be found? Paste five of your part numbers and see every number a buyer could type to reach them.
Why this exists
A marketplace is only as good as what is on the shelves, and every seller I talk to says the same thing: "Show me buyers first." Fair. So the first fifty get everything the site can give in exchange for being the shelves that the buyers find. Every listing is searchable under every identity the part has — OEM, NSN, MCRL, PMA — indexed by Google under each of them, and shown next to the government purchase history and the FAA record for that number.
