Equipment leasing companies often acquire ultrasound equipment at the end of its lease, which is not ideal for maximizing return. Unwanted capital, shipping fees, and other hassles are often also acquired along with the equipment. This lost time in productivity boils down to less potential for higher capital elsewhere. We realize that pricing ultrasound equipment with little knowledge on the topic can also be time-consuming, so this article will help you get the most for your used equipment!<\/p>\n

Common Mistakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The most common mistake companies make is marketing the ultrasound equipment to as many customers as possible, which can be costly to your bottom line. When multiple dealers are offered the same piece of ultrasound equipment, they often market it before purchasing. This begins the avalanche effect: one person reaches out to four people, those four each contact four more, and suddenly it appears as if the market is flooded with your piece of equipment. This, in turn, devalues the equipment due to an increase in supply.<\/p>\n

Do not accidentally misrepresent your product. Knowing the date of manufacture, the removal process of the ultrasound equipment, who to call in case of questions, etc, can greatly reduce confusion and in turn speed up the process of transition for both parties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

The Best Next Step: Determine What It\u2019s Worth<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To maximize your return on used ultrasound equipment, it would be worth first determining its fair market value (FMV), or the average asking price in comparison to equivalent systems at the time of the appraisal. Determining the FMV will help you decide whether to keep the equipment and determine what it may sell for. Fair market value can cover a broad range of pricing, so here are some additional terms that will be helpful to you in determining FMV:<\/p>\n
