How to Sell Used Telephone Sets

If you are getting a new telephone system for your business or are closing it down, you may be able to make some money by selling your old telephone sets. Certain popular models and brands are worth fast cash. By taking some simple steps, you can assess the value of your telephone sets and sell them for the highest offer.

Instructions

1. Take an inventory of the used telephone sets that you wish to sell. Make a note of the brands, model numbers and number of telephone sets you will be offering for sale.

2. Test all of the telephone sets to assess their current condition. Some companies that buy used telephone sets will take nonworking equipment because they refurbish it, but others only want telephone sets that are working.

3. Make a list of companies that purchase old telephone sets for resale. You don't have to be limited by geography because these companies usually deal with sellers throughout the United States. Narrow it down to three to five companies so you have several offers to compare.

4. Solicit bids from each of the companies you have chosen. Some will have you fax in the information on the telephone sets you are selling, while others will want you to submit an online form or send details via email. Follow the correct procedure for each potential buyer.

5. Compare the bids and choose a buyer. Don't just compare the prices; also look at the terms of the sale. Does the company pay for shipping or is that your responsibility? Do they pay immediately on receipt of your telephone sets or is there a delay? Once you have chosen a buyer, you will be required to ship your telephone equipment to the company, and it will pay you as agreed upon. Normally this will be via a check, although some used equipment buyers will send the money via Paypal.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are unable to get a satisfactory offer for your telephone sets from a buyer, consider donating them to a nonprofit business. The business can use your old telephone equipment and you will probably be able to deduct its value from your income taxes.
