Does Med Mart Buy Back or Purchase Used Equipment? – Med Mart

Understanding Your Options for Selling Used Medical Equipment

At Med Mart, we often get asked if we offer buy-back programs or if we purchase used medical equipment. While we understand the need for resale options, we do not buy back or purchase used equipment.

Here’s why—and a few suggestions to help you find the best way to sell or donate your used items.

Why We Do Not Purchase Used Equipment

There are several important reasons why Med Mart does not buy used medical equipment:

Safety and Condition: We cannot fully assess the condition or safety of used items without extensive inspections.
Shipping Costs: Shipping large, heavy items like hospital beds, lift chairs, or scooters back to us would be expensive and not cost-effective for either party.
Regulatory and Health Standards: Many types of durable medical equipment (DME) must meet strict standards for sanitation, safety, and warranty—requirements that used equipment often cannot meet.

Because of these concerns, we focus on providing new equipment with full warranties and manufacturer-backed support.

What Are Your Options for Selling Used Equipment?

While we cannot buy back your equipment, there are other good options to consider:

Sell Locally:
Platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp are popular for selling used medical equipment directly to buyers in your area.
Donate to Local Organizations:
Many non-profits, senior centers, or medical lending closets accept gently used equipment to help others in need. Check with local charities or churches in your community.
Medical Equipment Consignment Shops:
Some areas have consignment stores that specialize in reselling gently used medical items.
List in Community Groups:
Try neighborhood apps like Nextdoor or community bulletin boards where local buyers may be looking.

Important Tips for Selling Used Medical Equipment

Make sure the item is clean, in working condition, and includes any original manuals or accessories.
Clearly disclose any signs of wear, missing parts, or repairs.
Take clear photos and provide measurements, model numbers, or product details when creating listings.
