When it comes to selling used audio-visual (AV) equipment, presentation is key.

At AVGear, we understand that the way your equipment looks and functions can significantly impact its resale value.

That's why we have a meticulous preparation and presentation process that ensures your used AV assets are market-ready and appealing to potential buyers.

Here's how we do it:

Ingestion and Inventory Audit:

Every piece of equipment that comes through our doors undergoes a full ingestion and inventory audit. We catalog each item, noting its make, model, serial number, and any other relevant details. This thorough documentation helps us keep track of your assets and ensures nothing is overlooked.

Cosmetic Grading and Reconditioning:

Appearance matters in the resale market. We assess the external condition of each piece of equipment and assign a cosmetic grading. Based on this grading, we perform cosmetic reconditioning as needed, which can include cleaning, repairing minor defects, and replacing missing or damaged parts. Our goal is to present your equipment in the best possible light, enhancing its appeal and value. For more insight into how we grade and recondition equipment, stay tuned for our upcoming blog detailing our cosmetic and functionality rating scales.

Functionality Testing and Reconditioning:

Ensuring that your equipment is in good working order is essential. We conduct thorough testing of each piece of equipment to verify its functionality. Based on the results, we assign a functionality rating. In some cases, we also perform functional reconditioning or repairs. However, we assess the value of the item against the cost of repair, as sometimes it may not be economical to fix. Fortunately, there is a large market for "for-parts" and "needs repair" AV equipment, so even items that can't be fully repaired can still hold value. For a deeper dive into our rating and reconditioning processes, keep an eye out for our upcoming blog on our cosmetic and functionality rating scales.

Diligent Product Photography:

High-quality product photos are critical for online listings. We take diligent product photos from multiple angles to showcase the condition and features of your equipment. These images play a vital role in attracting buyers and securing a sale.

Online Listing and Marketing:

Once your equipment is ready, we generate online listings on several e-commerce channels. Our team writes compelling ad copy and puts marketing dollars behind each piece of equipment to ensure maximum visibility and reach.

Certification:

To add value and transparency to our buyers, we fully certify the equipment we sell. This certification provides an added layer of assurance to buyers, knowing that the equipment has passed AVGear's rigorous standards.

Conclusion:

AVGear's preparation and presentation process is designed to maximize the appeal and value of your used AV equipment. From ingestion and grading to certification and marketing, we take care of every detail to ensure your assets stand out in the competitive resale market. Trust us to transform your used AV gear into market-ready assets that attract top buyers.
