How to Sell an Embroidery Machine

This article features tips to help sell an embroidery machine for top dollar.

Inventory

Take a very detailed inventory list and take pictures of the inventory. This lets the buyer know exactly what they are getting and there are no misunderstanding once the buyer receives the machine.

Its very difficult to sell a machine without quality pictures. Pictures are now practically free so the more the better.

Find any old paperwork such as invoices when the machine was purchased, tech invoices, parts invoices, etc. This lets the buyer know that the machine was well taken care of.

Value

There is no such Blue Book of embroidery equipment. Most people looking for used embroidery equipment are looking for used embroidery equipment to get a deal.

As a seller, the price needs to be set realistically or its almost a waste of time trying to sell the machine. Time is money and the longer it takes to sell, the longer it takes to recoup the funds that could be better invested in other ventures. The seller needs to keep in mind as well that if the price is not low enough, then a buyer is better off going directly to a embroidery machine company to buy equipment with warranty and everything else included that is usually not included in a private sell. The price has to be lower enough to motivate a buyer.

Shipping

The Shipping Portal gives a lot of tips on how to ship both large and small commercial embroidery equipment. Shipping is usually preformed by the buyer where the seller is in charge of crating or palatalizing the equipment if it has to be shipped.

Payments

If the machine is being listed on public websites, the seller needs to be very aware of scams. Do not ship the equipment to private individuals without full payment. Wire transfer and PayPal are probably the best forms of payment other than cash.
