This enables you to reinvest in more profitable activities and machinery. As with anything these days, your surplus shears can be sold to buyers on the internet, making the sale of such equipment much easier for you. Kempler Industries put together this quick and easy-to-understand guide to selling your surplus shears so that your company can sell your used machinery with ease.

Before You Sell Surplus Metal Shears

You’re most likely here because you already have surplus shears you want to unload and you’re in search of a buyer. It’s good practice to take a few things into consideration before you sell your shears.

Maintenance of Sheet Metal Shears

As a fabrication equipment owner or manager, sticking to a routine maintenance schedule is best to ensure there is no loss of value in your shears. An effective maintenance regimen is an investment in your machinery and ensures you’ll get a good price when you’re ready to sell used shears of any kind.  Always use your shears according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Make sure there is lubrication where needed  Keep your shears clean by tidying them up every day after use. Make it part of your daily routine to inspect all parts of your sheet metal shears and make repairs when they are required. Taking care of your machinery now is an investment in its latent value and you’ll be able to recoup more of that value when it comes time to sell it.

Take Inventory of Your Surplus Shears

If you’re selling multiple shears, make sure you’ve got a detailed inventory of the used equipment you’re unloading. Make a note of the brands such as Wysong, Niagara, Cincinnati and Pexto. What types of power shears are you selling? Are they hydraulic shears, plate shears, or maybe electric sheet metal shears? Take notes of the condition of all of your used shears while also gathering the manuals, and any related gear you may have. All of this will add value to your shears when you find a potential buyer. The process may help you identify other surplus machinery you need to offload as well.

Research The Going Rate For Your Shears

Understanding the value in the power metal shears you’re offloading gives you a good grasp of what the demand might be for it. In rare cases, you may find that your used shears are out of date. Gathering information on your equipment can be time-consuming, especially if you’re looking to sell multiple shears. It can take some time to find out the value of your shears and what you might expect to sell them for. That’s why the majority of those selling used shears choose to use an experienced surplus shears dealer like Kempler Industries.

It’s much easier and more lucrative to sell machines in good repair. Even if you have to hire in an outside repairman to get your shears in good shape, it’s always best practice to do so. That way, you’ll be able to find a buyer for your used shears with ease.

Who Buys Used Shears?

Buyers for used shears are everywhere, but locating those buyers can be difficult. Services like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and more exist for you to list your surplus machinery yourself but it can be a huge time-drain.

The more experienced the dealer is, the bigger their customer list is, which means you’ll have better success selling your surplus shears.

How to Sell Used Shears
