Whether you are reducing the number of business locations, downsizing, or managed to find yourself with surplus equipment on your hands, getting the equipment out of your way should be highly prioritized.
While attempting to sell it on your own is certainly possible, you may lack the time and connections to get it done in a timely manner, especially if you are not flexible in meeting with buyers or in price.
To get your surplus equipment out of your hands, you should consider sending it to a South Florida auctioneer that can deliver a great deal of exposure to give the equipment the best chance of selling.
Before you send in a request, you should consider a few steps to be prepared.
Make Minor Repairs
If some of the equipment is broken, it will instantly lose interest from potential buyers. However, making major repairs is not the wisest decision as it may not prove worth the expense. Making minor repairs to keep equipment running will keep interest high, which is exactly what you want for successful selling.
Clean Thoroughly
Dirty equipment is not that appealing in the eyes of potential buyers, especially because it makes it look like the equipment was not cared for properly, which reduces the potential price drastically.
Cleaning the equipment thoroughly is a great way to make a good impression.
Take High-Quality Photos
When you start to work with an auctioneer, you should take high-quality photos because an auctioneer might be able to give you an accurate description of what is likely to happen.
Also, these high-quality photos could be good enough for the auctioneer to use for listing, which is even better because it means your equipment will get posted sooner than later.
