Utilizing Used Test Equipment In a Weak Economy

The economy as we all know is not getting much better and for a lot of small fiber optic companies they need resources.  I have written articles about how to sell your used test equipment, how to find affordable fusion splicers etc. Let’s talk about how to go about finding test equipment and the options that you have.

First and foremost you could hire a broker to find the used test equipment for you. Great part about this is that they have many options and dealers that they can go through. Problem though they will sell the equipment for a marked up price so that they can receive some sort of money for playing the middle man.

You could go directly to auction houses to try and find the right type of used test equipment you are looking for. Great part about this is that you will possibly pick up a great piece of test equipment. Problem is that you are bidding against others and the condition of the equipment is in an as is form. It could work or it could not. Do you have a technician on staff that would be able to test the equipment? Do you have the budget to have someone take the time to do this?

The Best option that I feel as I am writing this is to go directly to a company who specializes in used test equipment. I know this sounds like a shameless plug for www.SurplusEQ.com , but let’s take a look at the advantages.

• We have a fully trained staff of technicians that test all of the equipment that comes into our warehouse.
• We have a sales staff that will be able to guide you in the right direction
• We have a catalog type website that is the most user friendly you will find.
• We offer warranties on all equipment that our clients purchase.

Now I’m not saying that you have to go to www.SurplusEQ.com and buy all of your used equipment. Although this site does have one of the largest selections of fiber optic test equipment, there are other quality sites out there that will offer the same for you. Here is a few of them:

eFiberTools.com they offer a wide array of fiber optic products mostly new but they can guide you to the used section is you call them or visit their website.

FiberOpticEQ.com another great used test equipment website that offers many used fiber optic test equipment products at discount prices.

ComputerEQ.com started out as a site that bought and sold used computers and networking equipment, however with the changing times decided to start buying and selling new and used test equipment.

Keep in mind with changing global economy used test equipment is in much higher demand. Companies cannot afford to pay the high prices for new equipment. Price, quality and availability are the driving factors for the small and larger fiber optic companies. You know the importance of FTTH and FTTx if you are a contractor or installer you know the importance of winning that bid. Now is the time to ask yourself if you have the right test equipment and supplies for the job. Do you?
