How do you sell your plant machinery?

Plant machinery is the foundation on which you build your business, but there comes a time when you need to upgrade or refresh your machines and sell your old ones on. Plant machinery is large, cumbersome, and difficult to store, so you ideally want to sell it as quickly and as easily as possible. How should you go about selling it?

What are your options?

You have three main options when you choose to sell your plant machinery:

1. Part exchange it
2. Consign it with a dealer
3. Sell it privately

There are benefits and drawbacks to all of the above, but if you're looking to make the most money possible from your old plant machinery, while still selling it conveniently, your best bet is to sell it privately.

If you part exchange your plant machinery, you may get rid of it fast, but you will almost certainly have to take a much lower price for it. If you choose to consign it through a dealer, you will have to think about dealers' fees eating into your profits. So the best all-round option remains to sell your plant machinery yourself.

Where do you actually sell it though? Plant machinery is a large, but specialist, section of the market.
