There is always a lot of information available about how to spot scams, but it can be harder to tell when you are working with a company that just isn’t quite on the up and up. This is particularly true with hospital equipment purchasers and lab managers trying to work with used medical equipment buyers.
Instead of focusing on obvious scams that may be occurring, it is easier to focus in on the top signs you are working with one of the experienced, ethical and professional used medical equipment buyers. These signs are easy to spot and note, which can immediately help in making the right choice when selling used medical equipment.
Company Recognition and Reputation
Always choose to work with used medical equipment buyers from reputable companies. This means a company with an actual presence online and as a brick-and-mortar business.
Check feedback, reviews and past client comments on the transactions. Remember, you can ask for a reference, a top medical equipment company buying surplus will have no trouble in providing names.
Services Offered
The best medical equipment surplus buyers go out of their way to provide you with the services and support you need. They will arrange for shipping, provide decontamination services if necessary and have the paperwork ready to sign without having to be chased down.
They will also work within your requirements for the sale. For example, you may need to have the equipment moved by a specific date or arrange for pick-up on certain days of the week.
Excellent Communication and Knowledge
Another key sign of a top representative for a medical equipment company is a professional with good knowledge of equipment and market pricing. He or she should also be easy to work with, respond to your emails, text messages or phone calls and provide full transparency during the transaction.
