Existing Avionics Shop Consignor? Let's Keep it Going!
Accumulated More Used Avionics Since Our Last Pickup?
If you’ve consigned avionics with Skyman Avionics before, we’d love to help you with your next batch. Whether you have a few more units ready to go or shelves full of equipment from recent upgrades, send us a list or a few photos and let’s get started.
For some of our shop partners, it’s been a few years since we visited to pick up equipment. We’ve sold all or most of those original consignments but we know how quickly the shelves can fill back up. Removed radios, transponders, displays and other equipment have a way of accumulating while you’re busy keeping customer projects moving.
If that sounds familiar, this is your invitation to work with us again.
We Can Help With Shipping and Freight
Getting a large batch of avionics out the door can feel like another project you don’t have time for. We can help you work through shipping or freight arrangements so transportation doesn’t keep your equipment sitting on the shelf.
Send us an idea of what you have, how much there is and where it’s located. We’ll help determine a practical way to get it to us, whether that means shipping a few boxes or coordinating freight for a larger lot. For certain collections, we can also discuss another pickup if the quantity, value and location make the trip worthwhile.
You don’t need to have everything packed before reaching out. Let’s review the equipment first and work out the next steps together.
Put Your Inventory Back to Work
You’ve already seen how our consignment service works. We handle the listings, buyer questions, sales, shipping and support, so your team can stay focused on installations and customer aircraft.
Moving equipment along also frees up space and gives it a chance to sell while there’s still demand. Used avionics can lose value as newer products become available and support changes. If you no longer have a use for a unit, it’s worth reviewing its resale potential rather than letting it sit indefinitely.
New Benefits for Our Avionics Shop Consignors
If it’s been a while since you last worked with us, we’ve added a few benefits to make consigning with Skyman Avionics even more convenient and rewarding.
Our consignor portal gives you a place to track your active and sold consignment items. You can check what’s still available and what has sold without having to call or email for an update. As items sell, Kelsey sends your payout receipt and arranges payment. If you have any available items listed with us, you can access the new portal here using the email associated with your payouts.
We now offer a 5% consignor discount to all shops that consign with us! This gives you an added benefit when purchasing from Skyman Avionics. Along with turning your unused equipment into payouts, consigning with us can help you save on your next avionics purchase.
Reduced fee for New Old Stock: We can offer a fixed rate or reduced fee on new old stock items that have been recently purchased but are no longer needed. Our goal with this is to get you back as close to what you paid for the unit as possible so that you do not take a loss. This is not achievable on every new old stock item but we will help where we can! If we are unable to get you your cost back, we will offer a reduced consignment fee for these items. This is handled on a case by case basis but has proven to be beneficial for shops that have either order the wrong parts or have had customers back out of a project.
A Layer of Confidentiality That Helps Protect Your Reputation
Your shop has worked hard to build its reputation. Selling used avionics directly can put that reputation on the line if a buyer has a disappointing experience, even when the equipment’s condition and warranty terms were clearly explained. A frustrated customer may associate an issue with your shop’s workmanship or service and leave a negative review.
Selling through Skyman Avionics adds a layer of confidentiality by placing us between your business and the retail buyer. The sale takes place through us and we become the buyer’s point of contact for questions, warranty support and returns. That helps keep a used-equipment transaction separate from your shop’s customer relationships.
Our customers come to us specifically for used avionics and we explain the equipment’s condition and applicable warranty before they buy. That helps set expectations that may be different from those a customer brings to buying directly from an installation shop.
If a problem comes up during an item’s 30-day warranty period, we handle the customer communication and return process so your shop doesn’t have to.
Once that warranty period has passed, any later customer issues are ours to address under our consignment terms. You can move on from the equipment without becoming the buyer’s ongoing support contact.
You receive the benefits of selling your equipment while we take responsibility for managing the buyer relationship and any concerns that arise.
Ready to Send the Next Batch?
Start with a list or photos of what you’ve accumulated. Include model numbers, quantities and any known condition notes or issues. We’ll review the equipment, provide estimated payouts, and help coordinate the paperwork and transportation for your next consignment.
Whether our last pickup was a few months ago or a few years ago, we appreciate the opportunity to work with you again.
Reach out to Skyman Avionics with your current inventory and let us help turn your next batch of used equipment into your next round of payouts.
