What raises and lowers the price of used medical & mobility equipment
Condition grade is only part of it. These are the specifics that move a quote up or down in this category.
- Running hours are the largest single lever on a concentrator, because the sieve beds and the compressor wear by the hour rather than by the year.
- Battery age decides the value of anything powered, because an electric wheelchair or scooter left standing on flat sealed batteries carries the cost of a replacement set with it.
- Size and capacity change who can use the item: a standard adult wheelchair or single hospital bed fits an ordinary bedroom, while a wide-seat, bariatric or paediatric frame has a narrower set of buyers.
- Clean, unstained foam, slings and mattresses matter because they are the parts a buyer cannot easily replace or bring themselves to reuse.
- A frame that is straight and free of rust at the welds counts for more than fresh paint, which on this equipment often covers a repair.
When an item is worth parts value only
- A concentrator that cannot hold its set flow or its purity reading needs sieve bed and compressor work that generally exceeds what the machine is worth.
- Bent, cracked or re-welded wheelchair and walker frames carry a patient's whole weight, so they are graded For Parts / Repair however presentable they look.
- Mattresses, foam and slings that are soiled through cannot be cleaned back to a resale condition.
- A powered bed or chair with a dead motor or a missing hand control from a discontinued model usually cannot be made whole again.
