FAQ: Selling Your Used Roastery Equipment

Just take a few moments to fill out our Equipment Listing Form. Include the requested basic information about your used coffee roaster or roasting equipment, including images. We'll follow up with a call to review.

We require large, clear, and nicely lighted equipment imagery.Remember, these pictures are making a first impression to our buyers!

Your completed Equipment Listing Form serves as the first step of our vetting process. Next, we'll schedule a conversation with you to discuss your used coffee roaster or roastery equipment.

We only work with fully functioning machines in excellent condition. If your roaster meets our criteria, we'll set up a time with you to record an in-depth video interview to provide potential buyers with a tour of, and key information about, your roaster.

This video vetting process ensures the roaster's current condition and functionality and will be posted on our YouTube channel and promoted via our multiple marketing channels.

We ask our sellers to give us time to dedicate our resources to selling your roaster or roastery equipment.

It takes time for your listing to be properly indexed online to gain exposure, and for us to build and implement customized marketing efforts including social media (organic and paid), SEO/SEM campaigns, target e-blasts and calls to our network, etc.

As a seller in our Used Elite program, you’ll benefit from our reliable payment process. You’ll receive immediate payment upon CEPros receiving the buyer's full payment and when all logistical arrangements are handled. This is our QuickPay Promise to you. Read more about payments and other details of our sales process HERE.

We utilize a lot of tools in our marketing toolkit to maximize your chances of finding the perfect buyer. We create a custom listing with your approval, and we promote your equipment through our website, YouTube channel, SEM campaigns, social media, targeted emails to our opt-in database, and more. Please read HERE for more details.

Our goal is to negotiate a quick and seamless transaction, and ongoing communication is key. We will stay in close contact with you every step of the way during your roasting equipment selling process with CEPros. You will always know what the next step is. Our goal is for you to hear from us first, but if you ever have a question, just contact us. We're a quick phone call, text, or email away!

Once the seller confirms full payment has been received, CEPros will move on the previously scheduled equipment prep and engage the crating company and freight company. Or if optioned, facilitate a buyer pick-up.

CEPros requires crating companies to take photos of the equipment crating that are reviewed and approved by us before freight is scheduled.
This assures a safe equipment transport.

Once the crating photos have been approved, CEPros notifies the buyer the equipment is ready to ship and confirms the delivery address and buyer's schedule.

All shipments are insured and include an appointment delivery time that works with your schedule.

We keep you informed of status and the next steps during the entire process by phone, email, text.

The four main components of this process include: 1) signing of purchase and sale agreements, 2) confirmation of received payment, 3) equipment crating, freighting, and delivery (and notification to buyer each step of the way), and 4) follow-up with buyer to ensure safe delivery.
