Catalog / Trade-in & acquisitions
Excess, idle or ageing equipment has three exits at apexx: trade it toward something newer, sell it outright for cash, or consign it and receive 70% of the final selling price, less costs.
Which one pays you most depends on the condition of the equipment and whether you are buying something to replace it.
Best when you are buying
Best when you want cash, not credit
Best for excellent condition, maximum return
apexx publishes trade-in ranges for the models it sees most. Search yours. A range is not an offer: condition, age, manufacturer support, accessories and current marketability decide where a specific unit lands.
Not on the list? Most equipment is not. Send the details and the acquisitions desk assesses value and marketability directly.
apexx bases trade-in values on several variables. In their own words, the ones that matter:
Digital pictures raise the accuracy of the assessment and, in apexx's own words, potentially raise the value of your equipment. Shoot the front, the display, the serial plate, the ports and the accessories laid out together.
The acquisitions desk receives information on hundreds of pieces of equipment each month. If a week passes with no reply, call 720-200-0124 rather than assuming the answer was no.
Make, model, age, condition, accessories, photos. One form per unique piece.
apexx assesses value and marketability from what you provide, and comes back with a figure.
Take it as cash, or as credit against new and Certified Pre-Owned equipment on your next order.
Package it properly, insure it, FedEx preferred. Guidelines below.
The rebate lands against your quote and lowers what you actually pay out of pocket.
Consignment pays the most and takes the longest, because your equipment gets certified and sold the same way apexx sells its own Certified Pre-Owned inventory. You share the risk, you keep most of the upside, and you never talk to a tire-kicker.
You set the selling price with apexx's fair-market advice, and you can move it up or down. Offers below your price come to you for a decision.

One inventory sheet per unique piece, sent to the acquisitions desk, with photos to tradedesk@apexx360.com. Questions: 720-200-0124.
The most critical step in the whole transaction is transport. Equipment that arrives damaged is worth what damaged equipment is worth, and the carrier's inspector decides whether the packaging caused it.
You are responsible for packaging adequate to survive standard shipping. apexx is not responsible for transit damage caused by inadequate packaging.

Send photos and the model first. The desk will tell you before you spend money on freight.
One form per piece. The more you can say about condition and accessories, the closer the first number lands to the final one.
The acquisitions desk receives information on hundreds of pieces of equipment every month. If you have not heard back within a week of submitting, call 720-200-0124 and ask for acquisitions.
Yes. apexx offers trade-in rebates for most equipment, working or not. If a repair estimate comes back higher than you want to spend, the trade-in rebate becomes the alternative to paying someone to haul it away. Repair estimates work like this →
Consigned equipment in very good to excellent condition is certified to original manufacturer specification by apexx's biomedical engineers and technicians, carries apexx's standard 90-day warranty, and is listed on the site. See the certification standard →
No. A trade-in rebate assumes a purchase because the credit lands against it, but an outright sale does not. Tell us which you want on the form and the desk quotes accordingly.
You do, and you insure it. That holds for trade-in, outright sale and consignment. apexx's packaging guidelines exist because inadequate packaging is the single most common way value disappears between your clinic and the evaluation bench.
Call the acquisitions desk and get a read on what it is worth before you decide whether to keep it, fix it, or trade it.
