Sell Your Used Robot
An idle robot is capital sitting on the floor. Whether you are decommissioning a production line, upgrading cells, or clearing warehouse space, RobotsTrader.com gives you a direct way to put that equipment in front of people who buy used robots.
RobotsTrader.com is a classified marketplace built specifically for buying and selling used robots. Your ad runs alongside 39 live listings, in front of an audience that came looking for exactly this kind of equipment — not general machinery shoppers, not auction browsers. Buyers contact you directly, and you handle the sale on your own terms.
What it costs — flat fees, no commission
Your first listing is free: no credit card required, and it runs for 30 days. After that, pricing is a simple one-time fee per listing period:
- Single Ad — $40, runs 90 days
- 3 Ad Bundle — $80, runs 90 days
- 5 Ad Bundle — $140, runs 90 days
- 50 Ad Bundle — $500, runs 90 days
- Featured upgrade — $50 (places your ad in featured positions)
- Top Ad upgrade — $30
Listing fees are paid securely via Stripe. There is no percentage taken from your sale. You sell a robot for $40,000, you keep $40,000.
Compare that to eBay: eBay charges 13.25% of the total sale price. On a $40,000 robot, that is roughly $5,300 in fees — for a general marketplace where your robot competes with everything. On RobotsTrader.com, the same sale costs you one flat listing fee, whether the robot sells for $4,000 or $400,000.
Who should list
- Plants and manufacturers decommissioning lines or retiring surplus cells
- Integrators with take-out equipment from completed projects
- Dealers and resellers moving inventory
- Anyone with a robot sitting idle — one unit or fifty

- Controller model and generation
- Reach and payload

- What is included — cables, teach pendant, end-of-arm tooling
- Clear photos from several angles, including the data plate
