A Chinese-language marketplace for buying, selling, inspecting, and financing surplus electronic components.

Why it surfaced

SourcIC combines inventory normalization, BOM matching, escrow, third-party chip inspection, auctions, and an AI sourcing assistant in one unusually specific marketplace pitch.

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.
