How to Sell Equipment or Access Equipt Pro on Equipt

Updated

Equipt provides a dedicated “Sell your equipment” entry point for sellers, alongside auction and rental listings you can review before choosing a selling format. The site also links to Equipt Pro at equipt.com/pro, which is described as a subscription offering. The public page does not spell out Pro's exact features or price, so treat the link as the starting point for a seller-service inquiry rather than a confirmed feature list.

Selling on Equipt: What the Marketplace Looks Like First

Before listing, it helps to know the scale you are joining. According to the site's market summary:

Metric Figure
Live equipment listings 985,156
Total listed value ~USD $14.47 billion
Sellers in current results 1,394
Asking price range USD $0.01 – $7,000,000
Average listing price USD $5,403.38
Median listing price USD $227.00

The wide gap between average and median tells you the catalog is dominated by many low-priced items, with a small number of high-value machines pulling the average up. If you are pricing a listing, compare against your own category rather than the site-wide average.

Category sizes to benchmark against

The largest listing pools shown on the page are:

  • Metalworking — 320,491 listings
  • Robotics & Automation — 215,669 listings
  • Electrical & Power — 214,213 listings
  • Processing & Packaging — 177,639 listings
  • Electronics Manufacturing — 144,947 listings
  • Commercial Equipment & Supplies — 100,432 listings
  • Medical & Laboratory — 86,982 listings
  • Material Handling — 34,397 listings
  • Construction — 26,668 listings
  • Printing & Paper — 23,851 listings
  • Woodworking — 15,789 listings
  • Trucks/Trailers — 10,582 listings
  • Agriculture (Farm) — 7,445 listings

A denser category means more competing listings but also more buyer traffic; a thinner category like Agriculture means less competition but fewer comparable sales to price against.

Step-by-Step: Listing Your Equipment

  1. Go to the “Sell your equipment” link on the Equipt marketplace page. This is the seller entry point the site itself points to.
  2. Choose your category from the catalog structure above (e.g., Metalworking, Material Handling, Construction). Correct categorization determines which buyers see your listing.
  3. Prepare listing details — brand, condition (used vs. new), specifications, and location. The search filters on the site use exactly these fields, so buyers will find you through them.
  4. Set an asking price using the range and median as a sanity check, and compare against similar listings in your category.
  5. Consider adding video. The marketplace surfaces listing videos (“Watch matching equipment before you shortlist”), and the sample results include video for high-value machines such as injection molding equipment. For expensive items, video appears to be part of how top listings are presented.

Expected result: your equipment appears in the catalog and becomes searchable through keyword search or the AI search tool on the site.

Common sticking points: the page does not document seller fees, listing duration, or approval steps. Confirm these through the sell flow itself before committing to a listing.

Accessing Equipt Pro

Equipt Pro is linked from the main site at equipt.com/pro and is associated with a subscription model. The public marketplace page does not list Pro's price, included services, or whether it is aimed at sellers, buyers, or both.

To evaluate it:

  1. Open equipt.com/pro directly.
  2. Check what the subscription includes — for example, whether it covers enhanced listing visibility, lead access, or valuation tools.
  3. Compare the subscription cost against your expected sale volume; a Pro plan only makes sense if the added exposure or tools exceed the fee for your inventory.

If the Pro page requires an account or shows pricing only after sign-up, that is a signal to register a free account first and review terms before subscribing.

Choosing a Selling Format: Direct Listing vs. Auction vs. Rental

The marketplace exposes three transaction paths — standard listings, equipment at auction, and equipment rental listings. There is no single right choice; it depends on your goal:

  • Direct listing suits sellers who have a target price and can wait for the right buyer. The median asking price of $227 suggests most items here are modest and priced individually.
  • Auction suits sellers who want a defined timeline and market-set price, common for higher-value industrial machines.
  • Rental suits owners of equipment with ongoing demand who prefer recurring revenue over a one-time sale.

Review live examples in each channel before deciding — the site links to all three from the main marketplace page.

Practical Checks Before You List

  • Confirm your category has active buyers by checking listing counts and recent brands (ALLEN BRADLEY, FANUC, and KUKA are the most active brands site-wide).
  • Note that listings concentrate in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom — location filtering matters for cross-border sales.
  • Use the AI search or keyword search as a buyer would, to see how your planned title and specs would surface.
  • Verify any fee, commission, or subscription term on the sell page or Pro page itself; the public marketplace summary does not state them.
