You can lose 90c on the dollar. No one wants small lot quantity with no ability to reorder the same dye lot. Except maybe mosaicists. And they’ll be too busy ordering from reliable sources to ever take a look at Craigslist.

And, that’s what Floor and Decor built their business around. Buying discontinued and seconds straight from the manufacturer. If you want small lots of junk, go there.

A good place to buy deeply discounted tile is Habitat for Humanity. I don't know about quantities for larger projects, but I've seen many boxes of tile donated there as well as some lovely remnants of granite in sizes large enough to do an occasional table top, perhaps a built in desk, baking center or powder room vanity.

You're already competing with big box stores selling unmatched boxes.

Donate to HH and take the deduction for the purchase price.

Donate to HH like Jeffrey said.

Yes. In our area the HH stores are called "Restore". Donate. We and many other tile pros donate our extras there as well. Another source for purchasing small amounts of tile is the annual "rummage sales" hosted as fund raisers by organizations like NARI (National Association of the Remodelers Industry). In our area they have one once a year and members donate left over materials which they sell deeply discounted and proceeds go to charity.

I don't know, but if you have several of these I have a good idea where they can be donated.

Is that a slate from your school days, Mark? ;-)

You can save lots of money if you happen to find the right tile at ReStore. I found a few boxes of Fireclay Tile of different colors and sizes that will eventually be used for a project in my sunroom. Can't beat the price at $1/sq ft, sometimes cheaper. Grout and mortar are bargains too if you happen to get lucky to find the right color/type

List it on CL and see what happens.

GreenDesigns-

"Except maybe mosaicists..." The first time I read your comment, I thought you wrote: "Except maybe masochists..." ;-)

Did anyone ever find a place that would unused New tile?

We have lots of tile in Bulk- Any ideas where to sell it?

About 5 different kinds, very nice quartzite and slate.

Hi, came across this thread in looking for a place to sell our (still-in-box) leftover tile. I see the resounding statements that people don‘t want small quantity, and while I believe donating is a great way to go, I badly need to try and recoup some cost. When i was choosing tile for our project, if someone had been selling any quantity of the same tile (new in box) at discount, I would have been delighted to buy that and thereby reduce quantity I had to buy at full price. 40 boxes of tile is more expensive than 30 boxes boxes, particularly when dealing with high-end product! I feel like there *should* be a market for this; any help or tips woild be greatly appreciated! To the original poster, Corinne, I know this post is 4 years old, but is there a place we may see the list you compiled?

thanks!

If the tile you have is enough to reasonably complete some type of structure, I think you would probably do best by advertising in Cragislist, Facebook Marketplace of equivalent.

Even if a place existed which bought odd lots of tile, the amount they would pay for your tile would be tiny. They have to sell at a discount presumably so they would be paying you 50% of that amount - at best.

How much is it worth to you when you calculate what you would really net versus just donating it. Even if you can't use the tax deduction, you have profited by giving back to a good cause.

I just gave my excess tiles to the tilesetter - There is no reason why I would ever need them unlike my wood which I deliberately kept two extra boxes of.
