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
Pickaway County at a glance
The AEP Ohio system around Pickaway 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 town that lost its main plant still has the substation that fed it, and that substation is where the surplus is.
A purchase that finishes in a week is normal, and one that finishes in a day is a favour returned. A transformer is a boring asset until the day it fails, and then it is the only thing anyone discusses.
What the county holds
Radiator fins that have been crushed in transit lose capacity permanently and do not announce it. A damaged core changes the arithmetic entirely, and only an inspection will tell you which case you have.
A tap changer parked at the end of its range has been fighting a voltage problem for years. A marine unit corrodes at the enclosure long before the winding notices, so the cabinet is the first inspection.
Pickaway County's food plants and its large institutional load make a 1,500 kVA unit ordinary rather than exceptional.
Towns we cover inside Pickaway County include Circleville, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Pickaway County
Access in Pickaway County is rarely the problem; the problem is the overhead primary that runs directly over the pad. A gate that is four inches too narrow turns a morning into a week.
A crew that has worked the county before knows which road floods and which bridge is closed for repair. A crane on the street needs a lane closure, and a lane closure needs a permit.
What we look for
A unit that has been disconnected for a year is not the same proposition as one that came out last week. The order of work is always the same: look, measure, test, agree, lift, pay.
A seller who knows what the unit is saves everybody an hour, and the hour is often the difference. A buyer who has seen the site will always beat a buyer who has only seen a form, which is why the visit is free.
What a unit in Pickaway County is worth
Two buyers looking at the same Pickaway County unit can be far apart, because one is buying a machine and the other is buying metal. A buyer who explains a deduction is easier to trust than one who simply reduces the figure.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Pickaway County?
Discretion costs nothing here, and it is the reason a good share of our work arrives by referral inside the same plant. We do not buy in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana or West Virginia, and we say so rather than waste a seller's week. A transformer with its original documentation is easier to insure, easier to resell and easier to explain.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Pickaway County?
Sellers inside a closure or a bankruptcy need discretion as much as speed, and both are available here. If the unit sits behind a AEP Ohio meter, the utility owns the transformer on the pole and the customer owns what is inside the fence. A seller who sends four photographs at the start usually gets a decision the same day.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Pickaway County?
Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Pickaway County sits inside the regular loop. A unit that fits a legal load moves without a permit, which is one reason weight matters so much on a padmount. A unit in a building that is coming down is a different problem from a unit in a plant that is staying.
