Sell on LotLoop
Sell ex-hire AV and event equipment
Hire fleets rotate constantly, and the stock that comes off is usually sound — the rental spec moved on, not the equipment. Most of it ends up on a page only your existing customers ever see, or stacked at the back of the store because pricing it is work nobody has time for between shows.
What it costs
Sellers pay 0% commission, permanently. Not an introductory rate — you receive the full amount you list or agree. The LotLoop commission sits on the buyer’s side and is added to the buyer’s price, never deducted from yours. There is no listing fee for ordinary selling.
That covers ordinary selling. LotLoop Liquidation — the membership for insolvency practitioners listing assets from formal appointments — is a separate paid product with its own verification. See liquidation listings if that is what you are doing.
What makes yours worth more
The same equipment fetches very different money depending on how much the buyer has to guess. These are the things that move the price:
- Hours, and whether the kit was dry hire, touring or fixed install
- Service history, and when lamps or LEDs were last replaced
- Matched batches on the same firmware, which are worth more than mixed ones
- Flightcases, clamps, bonds and cabling included rather than assumed
- Honest condition notes — a described fault costs less than an unexplained gap
For actual numbers rather than factors, we publish sourced UK asking-price ranges with a named source against every figure: used LED screen and used PA system. Free, and no sign-up.
What we need from you
- Your existing ex-hire list or spreadsheet, in whatever form you keep it
- Photographs, or permission for us to take them
- Rough condition and hours where you have them
- Where the stock is and when it can be collected
That is the whole ask. LotLoop can do the cataloguing, write the listing copy and prepare the photographs; you review and submit from your own account. Nothing is published that you have not read.
How the sale works
Submissions are private. A person at LotLoop reviews every listing before it is published — nothing goes live automatically. Your business is checked against its Companies House record, and that result is shown on the listing so buyers are not guessing who they are dealing with.
Buyers can 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.
LotLoop is business-to-business. Buyers are businesses, not consumers, which is why a tested, maintained item is not competing on price against an untested one.
