Whats the deal?

Used, Pre-loved, previously enjoyed what ever you want to call them, everyday DTEK receive calls from people looking for an inexpensive alternative to buying Phase One digital backs at new prices.

For a long time we were able to sell Factory Re-furbished Backs from Phase One. These are now sold out due to high demand. Additionally we are not getting as many used backs coming through, people are tending to hang on to them.

We know that sometimes customers for one reason or another decide to sell up. Sometimes this is done through a circle of contacts, but we also hear stories of people trying to sell their own Phase One equipment to unknown third parties, often on auction sites only for the deal to go bad when a problem is found by the buyer. This results in messy refunds and return of item. We are usually then asked to inspect and /or repair the equipment at extra cost.

Also the equipment may be wrongly valued and languish for weeks before a buyer is found. Buyers are also often put off by lack of service history or warranty. Understandable when you consider the value of the investment.

What DTEK get out of it:

1. Of course a percentage of the sale
2. The opportunity to add value to the sale with extra items and warranties.
3. We gain a customer. This is better than the back being sold to someone who then has no dealer to turn to for help. We are here to support them and benefit from any future business.
4. We find a home for a great piece of valuable equipment.

Here's what DTEK can offer:

1. We discuss your expectations. Price and time frame.
2. You send us the kit for inspection and valuation.

4. We can carry out warranty or non-warranty repairs if required
5. If the kit is incomplete we can provide the missing items as per original spec.
6. If a warranty would significantly increase the value or saleability we can add one.
7. We then finally agree the price you would be prepared to except.
8. We add 18% for our costs +vat.
9. We advertise in the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, and Canada. Our also website generates a large number of enquiries worldwide. Until sold.
10. We answer all questions and enquiries. We negotiate the price between you and the buyer.
