Fill in the details
Enter the title, brand, model, condition (New, Used, or Refurbished), asking price, and location. Be specific — buyers search by brand and model names, so including these in your title helps your listing appear in search results.

Add photos
Upload clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles. Include close-ups of model and serial number plates, the control panel, and any wear or damage. Listings with quality photos get significantly more interest.

Write a detailed description
Describe the equipment thoroughly. Include the year of manufacture, usage history, dimensions, specifications, reason for selling, and any recent maintenance or repairs. The more detail you provide, the fewer questions buyers need to ask.
