Outright sale: speed and certainty
We buy equipment outright for cash — one visit to assess, one number, and the equipment leaves on our truck. This is the route for closures, lease deadlines, and estate or business wind-downs where an empty room by a date is worth more than the last dollar of value. What sets the number is what always sets it: brand, model, age, condition, and how much demand exists for that piece on the resale floor. Commercial-grade equipment from the major lines holds real value; consumer-grade machines mostly do not, whatever they cost new.
Consignment: a better net, on the equipment's schedule
On consignment, the equipment sells through our floor and channels, and you are paid from the sale. Because we are not pricing in the risk of owning it, the net to you on desirable pieces is typically better than an outright offer — the tradeoff is time, since the equipment sells when a buyer appears. Consignment fits sellers with strong, in-demand pieces and no deadline forcing their hand.
Trade-in: the refresh route
If you are replacing equipment rather than exiting, trade-in credit is usually the cleanest path: the old equipment's value comes off the new order, and extraction happens on the same visit as installation — the floor is never half-empty. Real orders run this way constantly; we have extracted a retiring machine the same day its replacement went in, and trade-ins as simple as a pair of old treadmills crediting against a new order are routine line items.
What we look for when we assess
- Commercial lines with living parts support. Precor, Life Fitness, Matrix, Cybex, Hammer Strength, StairMaster and their peers — machines our shop can service and stand behind.
- Honest condition. We service everything we resell, so wear is expected — but frame damage on strength, or dead electronics on discontinued cardio, changes the math.
- Volume and access. A full floor with a loading dock is a different (and often better) transaction than one machine up three flights. Tell us both up front.
How to start
Send a list — brand, model, quantity, age if you know it — and photos, along with where the equipment is and any deadline you are working against, through the contact page or a quote request. If you are a facility also buying its replacement floor, say so; pricing the two sides together is where the best deals live. Dealers moving volume should start with the dealer program instead — bulk as-is lots run through different pricing entirely.
