Fume hood
Any ideas where I can sell a Biological fume hood. I removed one from a research lab about 1 year ago and have been just sitting on it cause i don't no where to sell it. I have called medical supply com., tried advertising on CL, talked with schools, but no luck so far!
This is what I have: ITEM: FISHER HAMILTON 6' BIO CABT Class II RL 495802 w/10" SASH,
MODEL: # 54L936
DATE: 5-9-03
Condition: Used and being sold as is. This item was not tested for operation. It was removed from an operating environment and placed in storage, we can not verify operational status. May need service and / or parts to make fully operational.
This Fume Hood was Removed From a Clean Enviroment.
Price: $8500.00 OBO.

I checked Ebay out, but these don't seem to do well on there. Who knows though? might be worth a try. Thanks for the reply Easy.

Would this be a good hood for the goldforum memebers who process their own gold bearing material? Just a thought, Mike.

Only as much as someone will pay. Many things lose much of there value as soon as they leave the showroom floor so to speak. Get creative like mentioned above and market to folks other then the originally intended customer. Research and footwork could mean a decent payday eventually here.

Thanks KZBELL! I understand depreciation, i was in the used car business for 12 years prior. Wavecrazed suggested I lower my price. I have done research on this item and my listed price is $3,500.00 lower than a similar one that sold -as-is . I post on CL and never expect to get what im asking on there, so I inflate the asking price to give me some leverage on negotiating.

First off lower your price (and expectations). I work for a company that sells and installs these new and I can tell you that there's no magic place that you can go to sell used ones (except the scrap yard). All you can do is keep posting it to Ebay, Craigslist and any other online marketplace and wait for someone to find you. Most likely it'll be a small business or a small start-up that's trying to save money while they grow. If you have the space to store it I would just keep at it and keep posting it to craigslist every week. I would post this at most for $2000 and would be happy with anything around $1000. I don't know how your fume hood is setup but we've sold some brand new 6' hoods with a basic configuration for around $2000. If you're a small business trying to save money, are you going to pay $8000 for a used one or $2000 for a new one that's guaranteed to work?
Just my two cents. Good luck though. Keep at it.
