|
|
|

Trade-In Credit |
|
| |
|
|
Trading in equipment is a great way to either generate the funds for an immediate purchase, or to build credit toward a future purchase of equipment or required test equipment services. |
|
|
|
Many of our larger corporate customers use trade-in as a method of reclaiming value for their depreciated test equipment assets that are now idle. |
|
| |
|
|
Reclaim value from depreciated idle assets, replace with the equipment you need today |
| |
|
|
We generally offer far more generous trade in allowances than the OEM's |
|
|
|
|
|
Consignment |
|
| |
|
|
When you have a very large or highly valuable idle asset pool, consignment is often the best solution to ensure the highest return for the assets. |
|
|
|
Consignment with a revenue sharing agreement ensures both parties share the same goal of maximum sale price for your assets. |
|
|
|
We will prepare and market your products for sale at an agreed sale price, while maintaining clear reporting of activity to meet your requirements for accountability of the assets while in the program. |
