Selling old machines

[SignConnection]

I was wondering if any had any advice on selling old machines. My company is replacing our large format cutter and we need to offload our old one. It needs some work.

Hi WinWin,

I normally stick with new machine sales, but I do have customers who ask for part-exchange occasionally.

You have the normal places such as eBay, GumTree, Facebook Market Place and Craigs List, or if it's a higher value system you could try listing in on some of the dedicated used machinery sites.
You could also try some facebook laser groups in your area to see if someone is looking to upgrade.

I did have one former customer who gifted his laser to a local school when he retired, but he made sure it was fully serviced and safe beforehand.

Hope that is of some help.

All the best

Gareth
