Six steps from your yard to the money
- 01

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.

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.

County
Logan County at a glance
The AEP Ohio system around Logan 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 seller should ask what happens to the unit after it leaves, because the answer says what kind of buyer they are dealing with.
A unit that has been in service is a known quantity, and a unit that has been idle is a question. The difference between a good and a bad purchase is usually information rather than luck.
What the county holds
Dry-types fail from heat and dust rather than from weather, which makes the room as important as the unit. A unit with four bushings on the secondary is a different animal from one with three.
A nameplate answers six questions at once, which is why it is the first thing photographed. A unit with a bolted cover and a gasket that has gone hard will leak at the first temperature swing.
Logan County sits at the headwaters of the Great Miami, and its industrial park holds transformers installed for suppliers that have since changed hands.
Towns we cover inside Logan County include Bellefontaine, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Logan County
Most Logan County sites have a gate wide enough for a step deck, and the ones that do not get a smaller trailer. A permit names a route, and the route is chosen around bridges rather than around distance.
A step deck lowers the load and often removes the need for a permit, which is why padmounts travel that way. Ground bearing is the question a crane operator asks first and the site answers last.
What we look for
The industry runs on relationships, but the first one starts with a nameplate photograph. A seller who has the serial number to hand moves through the first call in half the time.
A seller should be able to tell, from one phone call, whether the buyer has done this before. A short drive within one county costs less than a long drive across three, and the number shows it.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Logan County?
The last thing we need is a contact on site who can open a gate, and that is often the hardest thing to arrange. Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Logan County sits inside the regular loop. Every county in Ohio has a slightly different way of doing things, and a buyer who works statewide learns them all.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Logan County?
If the building changes hands at the end of the month, say so at the start and the schedule gets built backwards from that date. A AEP Ohio upgrade in Logan County is one of the most common reasons a perfectly serviceable transformer ends up surplus. The second data plate on a rebuilt unit matters more than the first, and it is easy to photograph by mistake.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Logan County?
Nobody asks you to front the crane, the permits or the haul, and nobody nets those out of the offer afterwards. We would rather hear about the bad driveway on the phone than discover it with a loaded trailer. A transformer with its original documentation is easier to insure, easier to resell and easier to explain.
