Not Sure Which Path Fits?

Submit your equipment once. Our team will review the package.

Equipment type, condition, configuration, value, location, timeline, operational status, and service requirements all help determine whether the package is best suited for Marketplace or Certified.

Start My Selling Path

Before You Begin

One complete submission creates a stronger selling opportunity.

Buyers respond more confidently when they can clearly understand what the equipment is, how it is configured, what condition it is in, and whether it can be demonstrated operationally.

Missing serial plates, unclear photos, incomplete descriptions, or unavailable lien information can delay appraisal, listing approval, buyer review, and final sale coordination.

Clear Equipment details

Complete Photos and videos

Accurate Ownership information

Submission Checklist

Manufacturer, model, year, and configuration

Clear equipment photos from multiple angles

Readable serial plate photos

Operational video for applicable equipment

Condition, known issues, and included items

Lien documentation when applicable

Information We Need

What should I provide with my submission?

The more complete the information, the faster our team can review the equipment and determine the appropriate next step.

Equipment Identity

Make, Model, Year & Configuration

These details help determine specifications, market demand, compatibility, age, production capability, and estimated resale value.

Visual Condition

Clear Equipment Photos

Provide well-lit photos from multiple angles, including controls, accessories, production areas, known wear, and the overall setup.

Equipment Verification

Serial Plate Photos

Serial plate photos are required for Certified Appraisal because they help verify the equipment and accurately document its technical specifications.

Operational Proof

Equipment Video

Larger production equipment should include a brief operational video showing the machine running clearly with sound.

Supporting Documentation

Original Sales Order

The original sales order can help confirm equipment features, options, accessories, configuration, and purchase history.

Financial Disclosure

Lien Information

If the equipment is financed or subject to a lien, provide available payoff documentation and current lienholder contact information.

Operational Video Guidelines

Show buyers that the equipment runs.

Keep It Brief

The video should be approximately one minute long and show the equipment clearly without unnecessary editing.

Include Sound

Record with sound on so buyers can hear the equipment operating and identify unusual noises or interruptions.

Show Full Operation

Demonstrate the major operational functions rather than filming only the control screen or exterior of the machine.

Automatic Presses

Show dry operations with the press indexing and printheads running simultaneously. Screens, ink, squeegees, and floodbars are not required.

Dryers

Show the full dryer running and include the operating temperature or control display when possible.

Other Equipment

Show the primary functions operating continuously for approximately one minute.

Presentation Matters

Help your equipment stand out.

Strong visuals can increase buyer interest, reduce repetitive questions, and create confidence before a buyer schedules a visit or submits an offer.

Think Like a Buyer

Show the complete system, every included accessory, condition details, control panels, serial plates, electrical labels, counters, and any known cosmetic or operational concerns.

✓

Clean the equipment before taking photos

✓

Use bright, even lighting

✓

Photograph the equipment from multiple angles

✓

Include all accessories and components

✓

Document known wear or damage honestly

✓

Make sure serial plates are readable

✓

Remove clutter from the surrounding area

✓

Avoid screenshots, blurry images, and dark photos

Lien Information Is Required When Applicable

A lien does not necessarily prevent you from selling.

Current payoff information and a responsive lienholder are essential for avoiding delays. Embellishr may coordinate lien payoff requirements for qualifying Certified transactions, but the lien must be addressed before clear ownership can transfer to the buyer.

Submission FAQ

Common questions before you submit.

01 What information do I need to provide?

Provide the manufacturer, model, year, configuration, equipment description, condition, serial numbers, clear photos, operational status, included accessories, known issues, location, availability, and any lien information.

Original sales documentation and operational videos should also be included when available.

02 Why do you require multiple photos and operational videos?

Buyers are more likely to engage with a listing when they can clearly evaluate the equipment's condition, configuration, and functionality.

Complete visuals also reduce repetitive questions and may help shorten the sales process.

03 What if I do not have my original sales order?

You can still submit the equipment without the original sales order.

Provide any other documentation you have, including invoices, service records, option lists, manufacturer documents, manuals, or prior purchase records.

04 Are serial plate photos required?

Yes. Clear serial plate photos are required to complete a Certified Appraisal because they help verify the equipment and accurately document the package.

Marketplace listings should also include readable serial plate photos whenever possible to improve buyer confidence.

05 What if the equipment is no longer operational?

Disclose the current operational status and explain why the equipment cannot be demonstrated.

Equipment that cannot be shown operating may still qualify for Marketplace. Certified consideration depends on the equipment, value, condition, documentation, and ability to verify the package.

06 What if my equipment is financed or has an outstanding lien?

Provide the lender name, current contact information, account details, payoff statement, and any available lien documentation.

Accurate lien information helps determine whether the sale can be completed and prevents delays once a buyer is secured.

07 How can I make my equipment more desirable to buyers?

Clean the equipment thoroughly, provide high-quality photos, include a complete operational video, disclose known issues, document included accessories, and price the equipment competitively.

Well-presented equipment typically earns more engagement than listings with incomplete or unclear information.

Typical Selling Timeline

Most sales take approximately 45 to 65 days.

Some equipment sells quickly, while specialized packages, higher pricing, limited buyer demand, unusual configurations, or changing market conditions can extend the process beyond 90 days.

Need to sell quickly?

Pricing is one of the most effective tools for increasing buyer activity and shortening the sales timeline.

Resale Timeline Market Dependent

Important

A listing period is not a guarantee of sale. Final timing depends on price, equipment type, condition, location, financing, buyer demand, and broader market conditions.

Pricing Strategy

Market value is not based on original purchase price alone.

Pre-owned equipment is evaluated according to what buyers are willing to pay in the current market.

Current Market

Buyer demand changes.

Pricing may need to adjust as comparable equipment enters the market, manufacturers change pricing, or buyer demand shifts.

Configuration

Unique can help or hurt.

A specialized configuration can command a premium when it matches buyer demand, but it can also reduce the available buyer pool.

Nearly New Equipment

New equipment is the competition.

Lightly used equipment may compete directly with discounted new equipment that includes factory financing, warranties, and support.

Location & Logistics

Removal costs affect value.

Teardown complexity, crating, freight distance, access, and facility requirements can influence the buyer's total project cost.

Generating Buyer Attention

What happens if my listing is not receiving enough interest?

Extended listing periods may indicate that the current price is above buyer expectations, the configuration serves a limited market, or current economic conditions are reducing buyer activity.

Certified Resale FAQ

Common questions about appraisal, pricing, and selling.

01 What happens after I submit my appraisal request?

Embellishr reviews the equipment details, market demand, configuration, condition, location, and submitted documentation. A fair market value appraisal is generally provided within three business days after the required information is received.

If the package qualifies for Certified, you will receive the recommended resale structure and Brokerage Agreement for review.

02 What does the 18% Certified Service Fee cover?

The fee covers appraisal, pricing strategy, listing development, strategic marketing, buyer qualification, negotiations, financing support, lien coordination, project management, professional teardown, crating, and insured freight coordination.

Certain buyer-side services, including installation, training, warranties, and service support, may be offered separately.

03 How long does it usually take to sell equipment?

The average sales process is approximately 45 to 65 days, but some equipment sells faster while other packages may remain available beyond 90 days.

Timing depends on price, demand, specifications, location, condition, financing, removal requirements, and market activity.

04 Can I approve or reject every buyer offer?

Certified pricing authority is established through the approved Brokerage Agreement and pricing strategy. Embellishr then manages negotiations within the agreed structure.

Promotional pricing, tier changes, or strategic adjustments may be used to generate buyer activity and complete the sale.

05 Why might nearly new equipment sell below what I owe?

Nearly new equipment competes with new equipment that may include manufacturer discounts, promotional financing, warranties, and direct factory support.

The outstanding loan balance does not establish market value. If the lien payoff exceeds the available seller proceeds, the seller may need to contribute the difference before the lien can be released.

06 Does a unique equipment configuration increase value?

It can. Unique features may increase value when they align with active buyer demand.

However, specialized configurations can also reduce the number of suitable buyers, which may increase the time required to complete a sale.

07 How can we generate more buyer interest?

Embellishr may recommend updated pricing, flash promotions, additional marketing, revised financing strategies, or other adjustments based on current market activity.

Sellers should remain open to strategic changes if the original pricing is no longer generating qualified buyer engagement.
