Need help selling Equipment!!!

[Docmocker]

Hello Guys/Gals,

I work for a small print shop and we are looking to upgrade some of our equipment, but need to get rid of some used printing equipment. I have called at least a dozen places and nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with them? We have already thought about scrapping, but we just want to check all of our options. We also do not have pictures at this point in time. Any insight or information is greatly appreciated.

Depending on where you are, there may be used printing equipment dealers nearby. (As I have experienced it, almost any urban area with more than 250,000 people has someone who is an equipment horsetrader.)

Don't be surprised at how little you will receive as payment. Stuff like this will often fetch little more than the scrap price. You might make more by donating them to a non-profit for a tax deduction.

Did you try talking to boggs equipment?

We checked into Boggs, they are not looking right now to buy any equipment at this point in time. I have not thought about donating but I would say the owner is looking to get the most out of it right now.

Got rid of my AB Dicks several years ago on eBay. Got a couple of hundred each for them, and the buyer was shipping them straight out to Africa I think he said.

We've sold some of our equipment via Machineseeker.com, about 9 months ago. As others said, prepare for heavy bargaining.

Agree with Machineseeker, but only if you like a challenge.

It's hard to get rid of equipment these days. I have a a lot sitting in storage right now that may or may not be needed at some pint in the future to someone.. Ended up scrapping our QM46 after I picked some parts to sell on Ebay. Sold a SM74 a few years back and a rigging crew came and loaded it up to send to another country as well. GLWS

Hi, I may have interest in the AB Dick. Where are you located?
