Equipment Bill of Sale Defined
An equipment bill of sale is a form that can be used for selling basically any type of personal property used for a specific purpose. Traditionally, equipment is defined as heavy-duty tools and machinery used for excavating, transporting, lifting, crushing, and manipulating objects or land. However, anything that can be used to accomplish a task or further a goal can be categorized as equipment, such as football gear, scuba-diving apparatus’, garage tools, medical instruments, etc. The form consists of only one page and provides fields for the names of the buyer and seller, a description of the equipment, payment details, and the signatures of all parties involved.
Can be used for selling:
- Construction / commercial equipment (most common)
- Heavy-duty tools
- Medical equipment
- Sports/hobby gear
Where to Sell Equipment
Large, expensive equipment is often sold in person, although all equipment can be advertised and shipped using an online sale/exchange network. Even if it is easier to sell and ship online, in-person communication and exchanges are usually beneficial for both parties. Regardless of the type of equipment being sold, the seller will find that creating an online listing is advantageous and profitable. Those looking to sell equipment can use the following services (some for free, some paid) to advertise their equipment:
- EquipmentTrader – For heavy-duty construction-type machinery and tools. Listings start at $24.95.
- MachineryTrader – For selling construction machinery and other heavy-duty equipment. The first listing is free.
- Facebook Marketplace / Groups – Finding groups dedicated to heavy machinery sales can be a great way of advertising to a specific niche of buyers. If the equipment is smaller, listing on the marketplace can provide the seller with significant exposure.
- Craigslist – Like a trustworthy piece of equipment, Craigslist is a solid choice for listing used or new machinery for sale. Just be prepared to sift through lowball offers and other spam-like emails on your way to finding an interested buyer.
