There are many online sites that sell used medical equipment at competitive prices, from general online selling sites like ebay.com or craigslist.com to more specific sites that sell used medical equipment, such as medibid.com, usedhm.com, disabledgear.com or dremed.com. You should do a search on these online sellers for specific equipment you are interested, such as monitors, defibrillators, or imaging equipment. Searching more than one online site at once can help you to find competitive prices and the best deals on used medical equipment. Medical equipment providers often have liquidation sales where they sell old equipment or used equipment that is sold through a consignment service through the provider. Do a search online or in the newspaper classifieds section for medical equipment providers who offer discounted used equipment. If you know a medical center is moving or closing near you, you may want to check in and see if they are having a closing or moving sale.  You can often find used medical equipment at good prices through local medical facilities that are not taking their equipment with them or replacing their existing equipment. Many medical facilities will advertise their used equipment online on sites that sell medical equipment. You may want to do a search on these sites for medical facilities in your area who are advertising their equipment for sale. Reach out to healthcare providers, such as your doctor or a family doctor, and ask them if they have any old equipment they would be willing to sell. They may also be able to refer you to other healthcare providers who are thinking of selling their old medical equipment. Try to be specific about what types of medical equipment you are looking for when you talk to healthcare providers. If you are looking for a specific wheelchair model, for example, you may ask your doctor if he knows of any healthcare providers who might be willing to sell a used version of the wheelchair. When you are searching advertisements for equipment, make sure the ads contain several photographs of the equipment to ensure the equipment is in good condition. Look closely at the equipment for any damage, marks, or scratches. The seller should disclose any damage to the used items in their advertisement. If the seller does not do this, you may want to think twice before buying an item from the seller as the seller could be suspicious or neglect to specify damage to the item in an attempt to make a quick buck. You should also contact the seller directly through the contact info provided and ask for more detail on the equipment to determine its condition and if it is what you’re looking for. Starting a conversation with the seller about the item can allow you to feel more comfortable about buying used medical equipment online and ensure you know exactly what you are buying from the seller.
