Get the machine repaired before you talk about reselling it:-

It is pretty obvious that the equipment will not be in order if it has not been put to work for the last many days and you have to shell some amount of money to get it repaired and running. You have to be cautious about advertising your product and should only start talking about reselling it when you are sure that the equipment is in order.

It causes a negative impact on their minds and they may find this to be a complete waste of time. You also lose a good prospect.

Take the service of an expert to repair the machine:-

If the machine you want to sell was idle for good number of days due to severe complications then you should seek help of an expert mechanic who can check the machine and let you know how long it is going to take for him to fix it. Other than this, he may also tell you about the amount you need to shell out for getting it fixed. An expert hand on your machine will always be fruitful because that is going to increase the life of the machine which in other words allows you to increase the price of it. You can also paint the machine if it has an old look or put some jazzy stickers that will make it look attractive. You can make use of your imagination and can adopt innovative ideas to make the equipment look good and can fetch you a good price.

Spread the word in all circles:-

Once the equipment is ready to sell, all you have to do is pervade it across in newspapers or on internet. These days internet is the best option as people like to buy things online. They will check your heavy machinery online and if at all they are interested will contact you. By doing this, you are ready to sell off your equipment at a descent price.
