While people have been buying and selling all types of used goods on sites such as eBay and Craig’s list, there was no particular place to buy or sell used medical equipment. Selling used medical equipment on sites like eBay didn’t guarantee that you would find the right buyers as most medical facilities would not look to eBay or Craig’s List when they wanted to buy equipment. Medflip is a new online auction site that is devoted solely to the buying and selling of medical equipment. This site makes it easy for hospital administrators, doctors, dentists and other medical professionals to find the used medical equipment they need at affordable prices.

In most medical facilities, space is at a premium. Unused medical equipment takes up valuable space without having a purpose. This same equipment might have a useful life in another facility which has fewer resources. Selling this used medical equipment through an online auction frees up valuable space and allows smaller, less well funded institutions the opportunity to improve their standard of care for their patients. Imaging equipment from MRIs to portable x-ray machines are an important part of today’s treatment strategies. However, many rural facilities and urban clinics do not have the resources to purchase this kind of equipment. Online auctions for used medical equipment may put this type of equipment in the hands of dedicated professionals who need it. Medflip sellers are part of a worldwide network of clients. While the company itself owns none of the unused or used medical equipment that is sold on the site, they have a customer support staff that is trained to help buyers and sellers by answering all their questions and helping them through the auction process.
