EMBELLISHR / SELLER FAQS
Selling Equipment.
Clear Answers.
Selling used production equipment involves more than posting a price online. Understand how our two resale programs work and what makes each one different.
SUBMIT YOUR EQUIPMENTYOUR SELLING OPTIONS
Two Programs.
Different Advantages.
One equipment submission starts the process. Our team evaluates your equipment and determines which resale programs are available. Certified Pre-Owned is reserved for qualifying equipment.
Certified Pre-Owned
Professionally appraised, strategically priced, actively marketed and managed by Embellishr from listing through delivery.
Marketplace
Set your own asking price and manage equipment preparation while Embellishr facilitates offers and the transaction.
Professional Fair Market Value appraisal included at no additional charge when you qualify and proceed with Certified Pre-Owned.
Embellishr's separate 10% Marketplace Secure Transaction Service Fee is funded by the buyer.
Optional professional appraisal: $99.
We analyze historical and current resale transactions, manufacturer, model, year, configuration, depreciation, operating condition, included accessories, market saturation and actual buyer demand.
This establishes a professional Fair Market Value based on the equipment and the market, not an arbitrary asking price.
You determine your equipment's asking price. A professional Fair Market Value appraisal is available separately for $99 if you want guidance.
Using our appraisal findings, Embellishr establishes a strategic, tiered resale pricing structure designed to attract qualified buyers and keep your equipment competitively positioned.
You approve the pricing structure upfront. Our brokerage team then actively negotiates and closes within those authorized tiers, helping avoid stagnant listings and unrealistic asking prices.
Buyers submit offers through Embellishr. You decide whether to accept, counter or decline each offer.
Marketplace does not include Embellishr's Certified resale pricing tier strategy.
Premier listing placement, targeted marketing campaigns, proactive buyer outreach, qualified lead development and dedicated brokerage negotiations.
Your equipment is listed for interested buyers to discover. Embellishr manages inquiries, buyer offers and transaction coordination.
Operational verification and professional inspection requirements are coordinated by Embellishr as part of the qualifying Certified resale process.
You provide accurate equipment details, condition information, photographs and required operational documentation. Professional inspections are optional.
Embellishr coordinates core equipment disassembly, custom crating, loading, freight and project management requirements within the approved brokerage scope.
You manage equipment preparation. Optional professional inspections, disassembly, crating, freight, installation and training are quoted separately.
Available seller proceeds are released according to the Certified payment schedule, subject to applicable transaction terms, documentation and lien obligations.
Available seller proceeds are released following documented delivery and the applicable 72-hour buyer review period, subject to transaction terms.
Qualifying financed equipment may be accepted. Embellishr coordinates approved lender payoff and lien-release requirements.
A $1,500 refundable lien brokerage retainer may be required based on the outstanding balance, anticipated resale proceeds and transaction risk.
Financed equipment may be considered with full disclosure and an approved payoff and lien-release arrangement. Additional coordination fees may apply.
Appraisals: A standalone professional Fair Market Value appraisal is $99. It is included at no additional charge for sellers who qualify and proceed with Certified Pre-Owned. An appraisal is an estimate of resale value, not a guaranteed sale price.
Seller proceeds: Retained percentages are calculated before applicable lender payoffs, seller-authorized services and other transaction obligations. Payment timing and service scope are governed by the applicable agreements.
Lien retainers: When required under Certified Pre-Owned, the $1,500 retainer is refundable upon successful transaction completion and fulfillment of the seller's agreed financial obligations. Forfeiture conditions are governed by the brokerage agreement.
READY TO GET STARTED?
One Submission. Two Ways to Sell.
Submit your equipment details for review. Our team will evaluate the opportunity and identify your available resale options.
THE SELLING PROCESS
From Submission
to Successful Sale.
Whether you sell through Certified Pre-Owned or Marketplace, every transaction follows a structured process designed to keep buyers and sellers informed, equipment properly documented and payments secure.
Submit Your Equipment
Provide equipment details, photographs, condition information and available operational documentation.
Review & Approval
Our team reviews the equipment, resale opportunity and project requirements to determine available selling options.
Marketing & Offers
Once approved and listed, Embellishr manages buyer inquiries and offers according to your selected program.
Secure Transaction & Delivery
Buyer funds are secured before equipment release. Shipment, delivery and seller payments follow the applicable transaction requirements.
BEFORE YOU LIST
What You'll Need.
Accurate information helps our team evaluate your equipment and gives prospective buyers confidence in what they're purchasing.
Equipment Details
Manufacturer, model, year, configuration, included accessories and serial number when applicable.
Clear Photographs
Current photos showing the complete equipment package, condition and included components.
Operational Information
Current operating status, available operational videos, service history and any known issues or missing parts.
Location & Ownership
Equipment location, accessibility, ownership details and disclosure of any outstanding financing or liens.
Missing documentation does not automatically disqualify your equipment. However, additional verification may be required, and some equipment may not qualify for Certified Pre-Owned.
TRANSACTION SECURITY
Your Equipment.
Protected Through the Process.
Embellishr manages the transaction between buyer and seller. Equipment is not authorized for release until the required buyer funds have been secured.
Buyer Funds Secured
Required purchase funds are collected and verified before equipment is released for shipment.
Documented Equipment Handoff
Shipment records, packing documentation and equipment photographs establish what was transferred.
Delivery Confirmation
Delivery is documented and any applicable buyer review or discrepancy process is completed before final payment release.
AFTER YOUR EQUIPMENT SELLS
Preparing for Handoff.
The preparation and shipping process depends on your resale program. Every transaction requires accurate records and a clear equipment handoff.
Professionally Coordinated
Embellishr coordinates approved inspection, equipment removal, crating, loading and freight requirements within the Certified brokerage scope.
Sellers must maintain equipment condition, disclose material changes and provide reasonable access for scheduled services.
Seller-Managed Preparation
Sellers are responsible for preparing equipment for shipment and accurately documenting the package being transferred.
Required records include a completed packing list, clear shipment photographs, and signed Bill of Lading or applicable shipping labels and tracking.
Marketplace sellers may purchase professional inspection, disassembly, crating, loading or freight coordination services separately. Any selected services must be approved as part of the transaction.
SELLER PAYMENTS
When Do I Get Paid?
Buyer funds must be secured before release. Seller payment schedules depend on the program and completion of the required transaction milestones.
Two Scheduled Payments
Payment After Delivery
Payment percentages refer to available seller proceeds after applicable brokerage fees, lender payoffs, approved services and other transaction obligations. Unresolved discrepancies, missing documentation or lien requirements may delay payment release under the applicable agreement.
FINANCED EQUIPMENT
Have an Outstanding Lien?
Disclose it when submitting your equipment. Our team will review the payoff requirements, anticipated resale proceeds and whether an approved lien-release arrangement can be established.
Sellers remain responsible for outstanding equipment debt and any payoff shortfall. Lender authorization, payoff verification and additional funding may be required before a transaction can close.
For qualifying Certified transactions, a refundable $1,500 lien brokerage retainer may be required based on the financial exposure.
SELLER FAQS / FINAL DETAILS
A Few More
Things to Know.
Every equipment resale is a little different. Here are answers to the questions that may affect your decision or next steps.
01 Do I need to choose a resale program before submitting?
No. Submit your equipment for review. Our team evaluates the equipment, condition, documentation and overall resale opportunity to determine which programs are available.
Not every piece of equipment qualifies for Certified Pre-Owned. If Marketplace is the better fit, we'll explain that option.
02 Can I keep using my equipment while it's listed?
In most cases, yes. Your equipment should remain in substantially the same condition represented in the listing.
Notify Embellishr of any significant changes in condition, operating status, production counts, service needs or included components. Contact us before relocating or dismantling listed equipment.
03 What if my equipment is already disassembled or in storage?
You can still submit it for review. Be clear about its current condition, location, operating history and how it was disassembled or packaged.
Equipment that cannot demonstrate current operations may require additional verification and may not qualify for Certified Pre-Owned. Marketplace may still be available.
04 Can I sell equipment that isn't currently operational?
Potentially. Non-operational equipment, equipment requiring repairs and equipment with unknown operating status must be accurately disclosed.
Eligibility depends on the equipment, documentation, condition and buyer demand. Certified Pre-Owned has additional qualification requirements, while Marketplace may offer greater flexibility.
05 What happens if my equipment doesn't sell?
No resale program can guarantee a buyer, final sale price or closing date.
Under Certified Pre-Owned, your authorized resale pricing tiers provide a structured strategy for keeping the equipment competitively positioned as the listing progresses.
Under Marketplace, you remain responsible for deciding whether to adjust your asking price or accept a buyer's offer.
06 Can I change my asking price or decline an offer?
Marketplace: Yes. You control your asking price and can accept, counter or decline offers presented through Embellishr before a sale is agreed upon.
Certified Pre-Owned: Your resale pricing tiers and brokerage authority are agreed upon upfront. Embellishr then negotiates and closes within that authorized structure. Changes are handled according to your brokerage agreement.
07 Can I communicate or negotiate directly with buyers?
Buyer inquiries, offers, negotiations and transaction arrangements are managed through Embellishr under both resale programs.
This helps maintain accurate transaction records, consistent equipment representations and a coordinated payment and equipment handoff.
08 What if the buyer reports missing items or a discrepancy?
Embellishr reviews reported discrepancies against the listing, agreed equipment package, packing records, shipment photographs and delivery documentation.
Marketplace buyers have an applicable 72-hour review period following documented delivery to report missing items or material discrepancies. Any affected seller payment may be held while the issue is reviewed under the transaction terms.
09 Can I get an appraisal without committing to sell?
Yes. A standalone professional Fair Market Value appraisal is available for $99. It provides a market-based estimate without requiring you to list or sell.
If your equipment qualifies for Certified Pre-Owned and you proceed with that program, the professional appraisal is included at no additional charge.
10 What if I owe more on my equipment than it's worth?
You may still be able to sell, provided an approved lender payoff arrangement can be established.
If the sale proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the outstanding lien, you are responsible for contributing the remaining funds required to complete the payoff.
For qualifying Certified transactions, a refundable $1,500 lien brokerage retainer may be required based on the outstanding balance, anticipated resale proceeds and transaction risk.
When applicable, the retainer is refunded upon successful transaction completion, provided all agreed seller financial obligations are fulfilled. Forfeiture conditions are governed by the brokerage agreement.
11 What if I'm selling an entire shop or business?
If you're selling more than equipment, our Business Transitions program may be a better fit.
A complete operation can include value beyond its machines, such as customer relationships, brand recognition, operating systems and other business assets.

the Value.
