Making Money by Selling Your Used Robot

So, you’re con­sid­er­ing upgrad­ing your cur­rent robot for a new­er mod­el? Con­grat­u­la­tions! What are your plans for your exist­ing robot? Wait, what do you mean you plan to scrap it? You may be able to sell that old robot and make a prof­it while doing it, which will def­i­nite­ly help recoup some of the expense of your new robot.

How do you go about sell­ing your robot? It’s sim­ple. You find a reli­able robot­ics com­pa­ny like Robots​.com.

There are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind when try­ing to sell your refur­bished robot to an inte­gra­tor or oth­er par­ty. You want to think of the robot like any oth­er item you’d try to sell. To get top dol­lar for your robot­ic sys­tem, it has to be in good work­ing order. Make sure all of the wiring and cabling for the robot is avail­able, along with the teach pen­dant and con­troller. Oth­er­wise, you may be able to sell the robots for parts. While robot­ics inte­gra­tors like Robots​.com may buy a robot that has prob­lems or is not work­ing, it all depends on the robot and the inven­to­ry already in stock. Typ­i­cal­ly, if your robot no longer runs or has mechan­i­cal issues, it may be best to trade the robot in, and apply the trade-in val­ue toward the pur­chase of your new robot.

When sell­ing a robot, it is impor­tant to know your sys­tem inside and out and have any paper­work avail­able for prospec­tive buy­ers, includ­ing own­er­ship papers. You should also know your robot’s his­to­ry and get it appraised, which will improve your knowl­edge of the robot’s worth. This could affect your sell­ing price, as well as your mar­ket­ing abil­i­ties. Make sure that the robot is pho­tographed, so com­pa­nies can see what they are poten­tial­ly buy­ing. It also doesn’t hurt to take a video of your robot in action to show prospec­tive buyers.

After that, it is all about accept­ing the right bid for your robot. Robots​.com pledges to pay 10% more than oth­er com­peti­tors. So, if you decide to accept a Robots​.com bid, you get more mon­ey and receive it faster than you would from oth­er bid­ding cus­tomers. Robots​.com can even arrange for the ship­ping of your robot to our facility.
