What Used Clinical Equipment Actually Sells For: Asking vs Auction-Realized, by Model
What Used Clinical Equipment Actually Sells For: Asking vs Auction-Realized
Every price guide on the web will tell you what used medical equipment *lists* for. Almost none will tell you what it actually sells for — because that data is hard to get. Clinical Asset Index observes real auction closes and community-reported sales and keeps them as a separate, owned dataset. Here’s the side-by-side, by model, for everything we currently have realized sales on. Updated June 05, 2026.
Asking vs realized, by model
| Model | Category | Lists for (asking median) | Actually sold for | Channel | Sold units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Draeger Fabius GS | Anesthesia Machines | $4,900 | $950 | auction/liquidation | 5 |
| GE Logiq E9 | Ultrasound Systems | $18,514 | $858 | auction/liquidation | 2 |
| Mindray A5 | Anesthesia Machines | $15,000 | $5,850 (1 sale) | auction/liquidation | 1 |
| Stryker 1588 Camera System | Endoscopy Systems | $3,625 | $3,550 (1 sale) | auction/liquidation | 1 |
> How to read this: the realized figures are observed auction/liquidation closes — the floor a unit clears at when sold off, typically well below dealer/retail. They are tracked separately from asking and never blended into it. Where a model has a single observed sale, it’s labeled as such.
Why this matters
A liquidation close and a dealer sale are different worlds, and an asking price is neither — it’s an ask. Keeping them separate, labeled, and cited is the whole point: the realized numbers are a floor reference, the asking medians are the going rate, and the gap between them is the negotiating room.
