Sell on LotLoop

Sell surplus equipment from a site clearance

Clearances almost always run out of time, and equipment that would have sold comfortably ends up skipped because the keys go back on Friday. Most of the recoverable value is decided weeks earlier, by when the process starts rather than by what the equipment is.

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:

  • Starting early — six weeks is comfortable, two weeks means taking what is offered
  • Selling matched lots together rather than piecemeal
  • Identifying leased or financed items early, since they are not yours to sell
  • Confirming landlord access and reinstatement before advertising
  • Keeping a record of what sold, to whom and for how much

For actual numbers rather than factors, we publish sourced UK asking-price ranges with a named source against every figure: used shop shelving. Free, and no sign-up.

What we need from you

  • A rough inventory, even a phone video walking the site
  • The date the premises must be empty
  • Access details — loading, lifts, parking, permitted hours
  • Whether anything is on lease, finance or retention of title

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.
