How much is my surplus metalworking equipment worth?

Capacity and specifications, whether the model is discontinued, condition, and manufacturer demand set the value. Hard-to-find or well-maintained machines often bring more than average-condition equipment.

Do you buy equipment that needs repair or reconditioning?

In most cases, yes, though working, well-maintained equipment brings a stronger offer. Send the details and condition and we'll let you know what we can offer.

Where do I sell used metalworking and manufacturing equipment?

We buy nationwide, not just locally, and cover shipping, so you're not limited to a buyer near you. Send the manufacturer, model, specifications, and condition, and we'll get back to you with an offer.

Do you buy a single machine or a full shop?

Both. We buy anything from a single machine or tool to complete shops and warehouse lots.

How do I request an offer for surplus metalworking equipment?

Send the manufacturer, model, specifications, and photos, or click Get Your Offer. We typically cover shipping and pay within 3 business days of validation.

What affects your offer

Capacity & Specifications
Capacity, size, and other specifications affect demand and value.
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
Included tooling, accessories, and overall completeness can affect demand and value.
Manufacturer Demand
Demand varies by manufacturer and product line. Established brands may attract stronger interest.
Quantity & Matched Lots
Matching quantities, complete shops, and organized inventory lots may be more desirable than unrelated single items.
