How to help AMT Sell off old equipment

We have equipment and supplies just laying around. The value of those items could be funding programs, classes or contractors to build us things. But selling off equipment takes time and organization. An amazing contribution to the organization is helping us sell off these things. Here is how the process works.

Gather information

  • Get the spec’s on the item to be sold; Make, model, condition, features
  • Decide shipping / pick up options that work for you
  • Find out the sale price or range
  • Get some photos

Post on Craigslist or eBay

  • List the item on craigslist or eBay using your own accounts. Do this so you can get the responses and handle logistics. It is okay to mention AMT in the listing and if you have any questions stewards and officers can provide support.
  • Send links to item listings to [email protected] and they will be published on AMT social media channels and groups
  • Buyer covers any shipping 😉

Respond to inquiries

  • Respond to reasonable inquiries to arrange sale and pick up on a schedule that works for you.
  • You may need to make appointments to show equipment prior to sale

Collect funds

  • Work with the treasurer to collect funds via AMT’s PayPal account or other means set up for the buyer Contact @treasurer for details
  • If they offer a time of showing, take their cash! Or they can pay by credit card using the donation button on the website.

Coordinate pickup/shipping

  • Base on the arrangement you made with the buyer to either be here for pick up or ship the item

Document the sale

  • If the item has an Asset Number update the Asset Database
  • If the item does not have an asset number contact the steward or officers and let us know it is gone
