Title: Medical Equipment Resale Value?? Post by: Monster Dave on February 11, 2011, 09:50:32 AM Hey everyone,
I have been tasked with the rather daunting assignment of assessing the current market/resale value of a 3 year old (nearly new) SonoSite Titan ultrasound machine that's been used only 1 time. I was wondering if anyone on the forum is familiar with a method of accomplishing this task short of using Google to see the price at which they are currently selling (which I've already done with little to no success). (http://www.umiultrasound.com/images/sonosite/systems/titan.jpg) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. MD. Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value??

(http://blogs.thepoconos.com/pop-rox/files/2010/07/fletch-150x150.jpg) Back on topic - Thanks for the links - good finds. I've no experience with selling something like this. I know that my office paid upwards of 20k for it to start, but that it's depreciated some since then. Are there places that buy used medical equipment? Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value?? Post by: DucVixenReturns on February 11, 2011, 11:07:12 AM Yes, but ebay may be a better choice. I would set my reserve on that piece for $14k and see what happened. Doesn't sell? Try $10k.
Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value?? Post by: DucVixenReturns on February 11, 2011, 11:09:57 AM Here is one in the UK ebay listings

Post by: Monster Dave on February 11, 2011, 11:30:23 AM I'm not sure that my office manager would go for using Ebay to sell it. But, the link above is exactly what we have. [thumbsup]
It looks like 10-12k is the most we could get for it. Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value?? Post by: lethe on February 11, 2011, 12:49:37 PM Can you donate it to be set on fire at the next DIMBY?
Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value?? Post by: Monster Dave on February 11, 2011, 01:01:22 PM Can you donate it to be set on fire at the next DIMBY? Yeahhh....I'm gonna have to say most probably 'no'. Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value??

Post by: mstevens on February 11, 2011, 04:20:42 PM Don't forget that some medical equipment requires a license to sell and a license or prescription to buy.

Fortunately such is not the case with this particular item - man would that have complicated things!! Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value?? Post by: Bick on February 11, 2011, 07:02:00 PM Can you donate it to be set on fire at the next DIMBY? It won't be set on fire, but if donation becomes an option, look at these guys: http://www.projectcure.org/give-supplies (http://www.projectcure.org/give-supplies) Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value??

I work for a major medical device manufacturer. I was actually going to tell you to check with the FDA before you sell it, but it looks like you have that under control. When I get back to work on mon I'll ask our resell group how they get their prices. Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value??

Fortunately, I'm not the one directly tasked to sell it - that responsibility will fall to my supervisor - however, it's my task to learn how much it's actually worth and how much we can reasonably expect to sell it for. Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value?? Post by: KnightofNi on February 22, 2011, 08:43:27 AM The lady who handles our resales finally sent me a list of brokers that we use. Send me an e-mail address and I'll fwd it to you.
Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value?? Post by: Preisker on February 25, 2011, 03:46:07 PM Open your own backoffice medical/obstetrics clinic, behind your office in a van, and give your own ultrasounds. You'll get rich, and maybe get some on the side.
Sorry, sometimes I just think like that. Title: Re: Medical Equipment Resale Value?? Post by: Monster Dave on February 28, 2011, 06:14:26 AM [cheeky]
