    We review the market

    Our team checks current resale values, product demand, condition, and available replacement options.

  3. 3

    You receive an estimate

    We explain the likely value and whether trade-in credit, consignment, or another option makes the most sense.

Common questions

Before you submit

Is the initial estimate guaranteed?

No. The initial value is based on the information and photos provided. The final offer can change after inspection if the model, condition, function, included items, or ownership details differ from the submission.

Will I receive more for trade credit than consignment or a direct purchase?

It depends on the item and the replacement product. We will explain the available options so you can compare value, timing, and convenience before making a decision.

Who pays for shipping?

Do not ship anything until Thermal Bros provides instructions. Shipping responsibility, insurance, signature requirements, and any label provided will be confirmed before the item is sent.

Do you accept damaged or nonworking equipment?

You can submit it, but damaged, modified, incomplete, or nonworking equipment may have limited value or may not qualify. Describe all known issues honestly so we can give you the most useful response.

Submitting an item does not guarantee acceptance or establish a purchase, trade, or consignment agreement. Do not ship equipment until Thermal Bros provides written instructions. All estimates are subject to verification of ownership, model, serial number, condition, function, included items, and final inspection.
