Benefits of Selling New, Idle, Surplus, or Used Equipment
- Recover Unused Capital: turn idle assets into working capital.
- Free Up Storage: free up storage or production floor space; storing idle assets can be costly. Selling used equipment allows you to free up storage space so you can store other assets or eliminate the storage cost altogether.
- Eliminate Maintenance on Unused Equipment: even unused industrial equipment must be properly maintained in order to ensure its viability; by selling unused equipment you can recoup that maintenance cost and allocate it to more beneficial assets.

When consigning your Lab or medical equipment, we advise that equipment should be less than 10 years old, in good working condition, and have the required software to achieve the best possible return.
When a lab decides to consign equipment, they are responsible for ensuring it is properly cleaned and decommissioned. In addition to cleaning the exterior, it is important to check for spills and perform a hazard determination regarding chemical, radioactive, and infectious biohazard materials. Once decontaminated, a certificate of decontamination should be completed and signed.
The process for selling equipment to Ontario Liquidation is dependent on how many items you are looking to sell and its location. No matter what, the process starts with identifying items to be sold and sending photos. If it is just one or few items, Ontario Liquidation can offer cash, credit or trade the item for something in our inventory. If you have more than a few items to sell, we may purchase the items for our inventory or decide to hold an auction. Many factors determine these next steps.
No, it is not. Please note that all estimates are subject to physical examination of the equipment as well as changes in the market. Estimates are not formal documents for insurance, taxes or estate valuations and cannot be used as such.
