How it works
Six steps from your yard to the money
- 01
Take pictures
The nameplate, the cabinet interior and the tank in daylight. Three photographs are usually enough to place a unit in the right class and the right price band.
- 02
Send them to us
The form on this page, a text or an email all reach the same desk. Include the city, the access and any deadline the site is working to.
- 03
Review the offer
A buyer reads the photographs, asks one or two questions and sends a written offer with the assumptions stated, so nothing changes on the day.
- 04
We schedule freight
Crane, flatbed and permits are booked around your access. You get a date and a window, and we carry the cost of getting it right.
- 05
Testing on arrival
Winding resistance, megger and turns ratio, plus oil analysis where the unit is liquid filled. The results decide the final number, and you see them.
- 06
Get paid
Payment is released on the agreed terms once the unit is received and tested, by check or ACH. No retention, no sixty-day terms.
What we handle for you
The parts sellers dread, done for you
Rigging
Crane and forklift arranged around your access, not the other way round.
Oil containment
Bunds, absorbent and disposal handled before the unit moves.
Bill of sale
A clean title document for your records, signed on collection.
PCB paperwork
Pre-1979 units get the testing and the manifest they need.
County
Jackson County at a glance
AEP Ohio serves Jackson County and the surrounding Jackson County ground, which is why a municipal seller and a plant seller there often need the same paperwork. A buyer who turns up with a torch and a tape measure is not there to argue about the paint.
A cabinet that has been opened recently has probably been looked at by somebody who knew why. A seller who has the serial number to hand moves through the first call in half the time.
What the county holds
A storm leaves a range that runs from cosmetic damage to a burnt core, and testing is what separates them. A dry-type with dust on the windings has been in a room nobody cleaned, and the dust holds moisture.
A dry-type in a damp room fails from the room rather than from the load. An instrument transformer is small, fragile and expensive to replace, which makes packing it properly worth the trouble.
Jackson County's aluminium work gives it an electrical load far out of proportion to its population, and the transformers show it.
Towns we cover inside Jackson County include Jackson, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Jackson County
A Jackson County pickup usually means a crane on the street, a spotter and a route that avoids the school traffic. A deduction agreed before the lift is a negotiation, and a deduction after it is an argument.
A mezzanine unit usually comes out in pieces or through a window, and both options need planning. A crane needs somewhere to stand, and the place it needs is rarely the place the site manager had in mind.
What we look for
A seller should keep the photographs after the sale, because the next buyer will ask for the same ones. A buyer who works the whole state can move a unit to whichever plant needs it, which is why the coverage matters.
A quick decision is a kindness when the unit is standing in the way of a project. Paint is a cosmetic question, and seam rust is a structural one, and the two are often confused.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Jackson County?
We work to your deadline rather than ours, which is why the first question is when the site has to be clear. Ohio only is not a limitation for us, it is why the logistics work: the crews, the cranes and the permits are all in-state. The market for used transformers is smaller than the market for new ones, and it rewards honest descriptions.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Jackson County?
We are not a marketplace and we are not an auction, so there is one buyer in the conversation and it is us. The AEP Ohio system around Jackson County is a mix of older distribution and rebuilt feeders, and the age of a unit usually tracks the age of the circuit it sat on. A unit that has been in service is a known quantity, and a unit that has been idle is a question.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Jackson County?
You send a photograph of the nameplate, a buyer reads it, and you get a number with the conditions attached instead of a range that means nothing. A unit that fits a legal load moves without a permit, which is one reason weight matters so much on a padmount. A transformer that is still connected belongs to the plant's electrician until it is isolated, and that is the first call.
