Where to find a used machine
before December 31.

How it works: the machine builder or its authorized network sells machines it has taken back, used for demonstrations or training, or refurbished. Programs differ widely: some inspect and recertify every machine and include a warranty, others sell pre-owned units as-is. Inventory is limited to that builder's machines. Because the machines are often in stock, delivery before December 31 can be realistic if you move early. Ask what inspection was done, what warranty applies, and whether you can see the machine run.

• Haas Automation inventory · MBB Org ID MBB-O-V2NZQE
  Haas lists in-stock, demo and pre-owned Haas machines for the U.S. and Canada; its pre-owned machines are former training machines sold as-is, and its demo machines carry a warranty.
• TRUMPF pre-owned machines
  TRUMPF sells pre-owned TRUMPF lasers, punching machines and press brakes overhauled by the manufacturer, with a warranty and an acceptance protocol.

How it works: a stocking dealer generally owns the machines it sells and keeps them in its own warehouse, which can make inspection under power, run-off and fast shipping easier. Terms vary: some dealers offer limited warranties, trade-ins or financing; many sell as-is. Ask whether the machine is under power, what was checked, and when it can ship.

How it works: on consignment, the machine usually still belongs to the shop selling it and often sits in that shop, sometimes still in production. That can mean you see it cutting parts, but removal, rigging and shipping depend on the owner's schedule, which matters for a December 31 deadline. Confirm who owns the machine, when it can be disconnected, and who arranges removal.

  A consignment dealer for used CNC machines, machine tools and fabrication machines.
• Mohawk Machinery · MBB Org ID MBB-O-ETRWD3
  Sells used CNC and metalworking equipment by auction, consignment and cash offer, since 1956.

How it works: machines are usually sold as-is, where-is, after a short inspection period, and the buyer pays the winning bid plus a buyer's premium and arranges removal within a set window. Prices can be attractive and sale dates are fixed, but there is rarely a run-off or warranty, and rigging and freight are your responsibility. Read the terms and removal deadline before you bid.
