I used recyclers in the past. I bought a very large 6 state territory that hadn’t been managed well. I can’t tell you how many tons of stands, machines, parts that were filling a warehouse costing me over $1,400 per month. Just keeping up with contrition of our in service machines was challenging enough so I decided to recycle and make pennies on the dollar for somewhere around 12 trailer loads of warehouse clutter to save $1,400 per month (adds up pretty fast).
Selling would have been great and I did offload 100+ racks and a fair bit of parts to a guy in California but wasn’t going to sell to nearby states (potential competition). Shipping costs destroy any chance of sales so for me recycling is the way to go.
Fortunately sold the business end of 2019. Can’t imagine how it is currently holding up.
