A mixed set of diesel and gasoline exhaust components can be hard to describe when the photos, numbers and vehicle details get separated. Before asking SMASH to review material from Toledo, make each item easy to follow. The same approach works if you have only one converter and several photographs of it.
Count physical items rather than photographs
Begin with an overview of the material you are offering. Explain whether several views show one unit or different units. If parts remain joined, describe the assembly as it stands rather than assuming each visible section is a separate sale item.
Exhaust-treatment systems can contain distinct components. Cummins illustrates a diesel system with a DOC and a DPF. Their presence in a diagram does not establish how many items you own, what they contain or whether they are eligible for purchase.
Give each item a reference
Use a simple removable reference beside each detached item when photographing a set. Keep it separate from permanent manufacturer markings. Follow a consistent order so someone reviewing the images can match the overall shape, code and condition views.
- Keep each whole-item photo with its own close-ups.
- Record the visible code without guessing unreadable characters.
- Attach known diesel or gasoline vehicle information to the correct item.
- Mark an uncertain component type as unknown.
- Explain damage, missing material or attached sections for that item.
Two similar housings should not share a description simply because they look alike. If you cannot connect a loose component with a particular source vehicle, explain the uncertainty. Do not assign it another item's history to complete the list.
Keep the review separate from assumptions about value
Do not give the whole set a gasoline-converter price or assume diesel parts share a common grade. Ask which items can be considered and what information remains necessary. An item list supports that conversation; it does not guarantee acceptance or an offer.
The photo guide explains the basic evidence. For a mixed set, the extra work is keeping the connections clear. Leave the material intact rather than opening or separating components to imitate an online classification.
Request eligibility review for the actual set
Request a SMASH purchase eligibility review through the enquiry form: submit photos and details, not a parcel. Include your ZIP code and known source information. An individual seller with one unit can use the same starting point.
A US enquiry does not authorize a sale or shipment. If an offer becomes available, check which items it covers and its quantity, amount, currency and inspection terms. Do not add other material or ship until SMASH confirms eligibility and the approved receiving instructions.
