Get Top Dollar with a Hassle-Free, Reliable Approach

If you're looking to offload surplus CNC machinery, you're likely asking: What’s the best way to sell it quickly and profitably—without all the hassle? Whether you're upgrading equipment, closing a facility, or simply freeing up shop floor space, selling used CNC machines can be a profitable move—if you do it right.

At Machinery Marketing International (MMI), we've perfected a proven process to help sellers get top dollar for their surplus machines—quickly, reliably, and with zero guesswork.

✅ Why Selling with MMI Works

MMI's selling process is built around one goal: maximizing your return while minimizing your effort. Unlike traditional brokers or do-it-yourself platforms, our team handles every step so you can focus on running your business.

Here’s how our process works:

🔍 Step 1: We Evaluate Your Equipment

We start with a detailed assessment of your CNC machinery. Whether it’s a single lathe or a full facility of 5-axis machines, we analyze:

  • Market demand
  • Model/year and condition
  • Hours, upgrades, and tooling
  • Your target selling timeline

This allows us to set realistic expectations and pricing strategies to ensure maximum value.

📸 Step 2: We Market It Professionally

Our in-house marketing team creates a compelling listing using:

  • High-quality photography and video
  • Machine specs and feature highlights
  • Multi-channel distribution to qualified buyers worldwide

We don’t just list your machine—we sell it actively through email campaigns, social media, our buyer network, and industry-specific platforms.

🤝 Step 3: We Handle the Inquiries & Negotiations

Once your machine hits the market, we manage everything:

  • Responding to buyer questions
  • Vetting and qualifying offers
  • Coordinating virtual or in-person inspections
  • Negotiating on your behalf for top-dollar offers

You stay in control—we just make the process easier.

🚚 Step 4: We Manage Logistics & Payment

When your machine sells, we take care of:

  • Secure payment collection
  • Crating and shipping coordination
  • Document handling and title transfer

This makes the process 100% hassle-free for you.
