Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about selling your equipment with Arnold.
Which selling option is right for me?
Start with your goal. If you want the most money and can keep the machine at your facility until it sells, choose an Exclusive Listing. If you need income quickly or want the machine gone right away, choose an Outright Purchase.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. With an Exclusive Listing there is no upfront payment. Our commission is deducted from the proceeds when your equipment sells. With an Outright Purchase, we simply make you an offer.
Who owns the equipment during an Exclusive Listing?
You do. You keep ownership of your equipment until it sells, and it stays at your facility in the meantime.
What information should I send about my equipment?
Send the manufacturer, model, size or capacity, condition, and location, along with photos if you have them. Let us know whether you prefer an Exclusive Listing or an Outright Purchase and our team will follow up.
