Frequently Asked Questions
What brands of used survey equipment do you buy?
We buy all major brands including Leica, Trimble, GeoMax, Topcon, Sokkia, Carlson, Nikon, and Spectra Precision. If your brand isn’t listed, reach out anyway — if it’s professional-grade, we’re likely interested.
What types of used surveying equipment do you purchase?
We purchase total stations, robotic total stations, GPS/GNSS receivers and RTK systems, data collectors, laser scanners, digital levels, theodolites, and accessories such as prisms, poles, tripods, tribrachs, radios, and batteries.
How long does it take to get an offer?
We respond to all offer requests within 24 business hours. In most cases you’ll hear from us the same day. You can also call 1-800-866-8576 for an immediate conversation with one of our specialists.
Do you buy used survey equipment in any condition?
Yes. We evaluate instruments in all conditions — excellent, good, fair, and even those needing repair. Describe the condition honestly; condition affects the offer price, but we encourage you to submit regardless.
Can you pay me before I ship the equipment?
Yes, in many cases. We are willing to pay in advance via PayPal so you can ship with confidence. PayPal’s seller fee applies and is the seller’s responsibility. Let us know advance payment is important to you when you submit your details.
How does payment work after I accept an offer?
In many situations we can pay via PayPal before you ship. PayPal’s seller fee applies and is the seller’s responsibility. We can also pay upon receipt after inspection. We’ll discuss the best arrangement when we make the offer.
Can I trade in my used equipment toward new gear?
Absolutely. Precision Geosystems offers trade-in credit toward new or certified pre-owned survey equipment in our inventory. This is a great way to upgrade your total station, GPS system, or scanner without a large out-of-pocket cost.
Do you buy single instruments or only large lots?
We buy both. Whether you have a single total station or a complete fleet of instruments from a retiring crew, we are happy to make you an offer. No lot is too small or too large.
Do you buy used GPS and GNSS surveying equipment?
Yes. Send us details about your GPS receivers, GNSS receivers, RTK base-and-rover systems, network rovers, radios, antennas, data collectors, and included accessories. We evaluate both individual receivers and complete RTK systems.
Do you buy used laser scanners?
Yes. We are interested in evaluating professional 3D laser scanners and related data-capture equipment. Send us the model, condition, included accessories, and photographs and we’ll review it promptly.
Can I sell an entire lot of used survey equipment?
Yes. We consider complete surplus lots as well as individual instruments. If you have multiple items, send us an inventory list or spreadsheet with the brands, models, serial numbers, conditions, and photographs.
What if I don’t know the exact model number?
Send us photographs of the instrument and any labels or serial-number plates. We may be able to identify the instrument from the photos and a general description of what you have. You don’t need to be a surveyor — we’ll figure out what it is and what it’s worth.
Do I need the original receipt or paperwork to sell?
No receipt needed. However you came by the equipment — purchased, inherited, bought at auction or a storage unit, or received as a gift — we’ll make you an offer. Many of the people we buy from don’t have the original paperwork, and that’s completely fine. We simply record the make, model, and serial number as part of a normal, transparent transaction.
I inherited survey equipment — can you help?
Yes, and we’ll make it easy. If you’ve come into a loved one’s surveying equipment and aren’t sure what it is or what it’s worth, send us photos and we’ll identify everything, explain your options, and give you a fair offer. There’s no obligation and no pressure.
