AV, event and production hire companies

A second channel for ex-hire stock

Hire fleets rotate whether or not anyone has time to deal with what comes off. The rental spec moves on, a venue refits, a production company changes its standard rig — and a van's worth of serviceable kit ends up at the back of the store.

Most firms have already built the obvious answer: an ex-hire page on their own site. It works, and it only ever sells to somebody already on that site. The constraint is reach, not willingness.

Why LotLoop, for this specifically

Your tested kit is not competing with untested kit

On a consumer marketplace, a PAT-tested and maintained fixture sits beside an untested one at the same price. LotLoop is business buyers only, where that difference is understood and paid for.

We do the cataloguing

Send the ex-hire spreadsheet in whatever form you keep it. LotLoop writes the listings and sends them back for approval — you publish from your own account.

Matched batches sell as batches

Eight identical fixtures on the same firmware are worth more together than separately, and the listing can say so rather than splitting them across eight sales.

Nothing is published without you

Every listing is reviewed by a person and then by you. If a fixture is spoken for, it does not go live.

0% commission, permanently

You receive the full amount you list or agree. The LotLoop fee is on the buyer's side.

How it works

Submissions are private. A person reviews every listing before it publishes — nothing goes live automatically. Your business is checked against its Companies House record, and the result is shown on the listing so buyers know who they are dealing with.

Buyers purchase at a fixed price, make an offer or request an inspection. The buyer pays on the platform and LotLoop holds your transfer until collection or delivery has been verified, then releases it. It is not escrow and we do not call it that: it is a transfer that waits until the equipment has moved.
