How much is my surplus electrical equipment worth?

Amp and voltage rating, whether the line is discontinued, condition, and manufacturer demand set the value. Hard-to-find obsolete breakers often bring more than current models.

Do you buy obsolete or hard-to-find circuit breakers?

Yes. Discontinued and hard-to-find breakers are in strong demand from facilities that cannot get factory replacements, and often command a premium.

Where do I sell used circuit breakers near me?

We buy nationwide, not just locally, and cover shipping, so you're not limited to a buyer near you. Send the manufacturer catalog number, amp/voltage/pole count, and condition, and we'll get back to you with an offer. Same process whether it's a single breaker or a full lineup.

Do you buy a single breaker or a complete switchgear lineup?

Both. We buy anything from a single molded-case breaker to full MCC lineups and warehouse lots.

How do I request an offer for surplus electrical equipment?

Send the catalog numbers, ratings, and photos, or click Get Your Offer. We typically cover shipping and pay within 3 business days of validation.

What affects your offer

Electrical Ratings & Specifications
Amp and voltage ratings, pole count, capacity, and specialty specifications can affect value. Higher-capacity and less common configurations may be worth more.
Age, Obsolescence & Market Demand
Discontinued and hard-to-find equipment can retain strong value when facilities can no longer obtain factory replacements.
Condition
New and unused equipment may bring the strongest offers, followed by reconditioned, tested, and working used equipment.
Configuration & Completeness
Trip type, mounting style, connection type, included accessories, and overall completeness can affect demand and value.
Manufacturer Demand
Demand varies by manufacturer, product line, and catalog number. Established brands and hard-to-source legacy lines may attract stronger interest.
Quantity & Matched Lots
Matching quantities, complete assemblies, and organized inventory lots may be more desirable than unrelated single items.
