Opening in 2027
What used technical equipment actually sells for.
EquipValues is a blue book for test & measurement, semiconductor, SMT / PCB and lab equipment: dated, sourced sale results for each make and model, with every price labelled and every source credited.
The gap we fill
Used capital equipment changes hands every day, yet there is no public record of what it sells for. Buyers and sellers can test the market. The people who must put a number on equipment without trading it cannot.
Today an accountant closing the books, an appraiser writing a report, a lender sizing a loan or an insurer settling a claim relies on a list price, one dealer’s quote, or a costly one-off appraisal. Cars have had a blue book for decades. Technical equipment never did.
Four categories to start
Test & Measurement
Spectrum and network analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, power meters
Semiconductor
Wafer processing, metrology and inspection, probers and testers
SMT / PCB Assembly
Pick-and-place, screen printers, reflow ovens, inspection
Medical & Lab
Analytical instruments, centrifuges, microscopes, imaging
Built for the people who put a number on equipment

How every price is handled
- 01
Every price is credited
Each figure names the auction house or marketplace it came from, with a link back to them.
- 02
Facts only
We record maker, model, options, condition, price, date and source. We never republish listing text or photos.
- 03
Kinds are never mixed
Auction results, completed sales and asking prices are labelled and kept apart. A buyer's premium is shown separately from the hammer price.
- 04
Evidence, not an appraisal
EquipValues shows what the market did. It does not buy or sell equipment, and its figures are not a certified appraisal.
