FIZZIQ Marketplace is coming soon.
How to Sell a Pre-Owned FIZZIQ System
If you have a machine that you'd like to sell, contact us via email at info@perlagesystems.com. Include the following information:
1) Include photos of the front, back, left side, right side, and top of the machine. Try to make the machine take up 3/4 of the field of view.
2) Include a photo of the "odometer" reading of the machine which shows the total number of lifetime fills. This reading is shown on the control panel at machine start-up.
3) Include a brief video of the door opening and the platform rising and falling.
4) Include a photo of the chrome FIZZIQ regulator and the carbonation vessel.
5) Provide the serial number on the rear bulkhead of the machine, and the original purchase date.
6) Describe the condition of the machine, and any known issues.
7) State the price you would like to receive for your FIZZIQ System.
Option 1, Consignment: Seller ships the machine to us. We will refurbish the machine completely, and certify it as "Certified Pre-Owned." These machines will typically fetch the highest price, and the warranty is renewed for the new buyer. Seller receives the purchase price less the refurbishment fee (typically $500) when the machine is purchased. The advantage of this approach is a typically higher price because of the Certified Pre-Owned status; the disadvantage is that you don't have use of the machine during the consignment period.
Option 2, Marketplace Listing: In this option, the seller keeps the machine until until a prospective buyer sends a deposit. At that point, the seller ships machine to us, and we refurbish it. When the buyer completes the sale, the seller will receive the purchase price less the amount of the deposit we retained for the refurbishment of the machine (typically $500). Seller pays shipping from the seller's location to our warehouse in downtown Seattle for refurbishment; buyer pays for outbound shipping. The advantage of this approach is that you have possession of the machine while it is listed; the disadvantage is a typically lower sales price because of not having Certified Pre-Owned status and thus no warranty renewal.
How to Buy a Pre-Owned FIZZIQ System
Looking to buy a pre-owned FIZZIQ System? Here's how it works. There are two options, depending on whether the machine has already been retrieved from the current owner and refurbished (consignment), or the machine is still at the current owner's premises (Marketplace Listing).
Option 1, Consignment: Browse the available systems at the bottom of the FIZZIQ Marketplace page. If you see a machine you like, put it in your shopping cart and purchase it. If the machine is marked "Certified Pre-Owned," the machine has already been completely refurbished and is in our Seattle facility and is on consignment. You will pay the price listed at checkout, and we will ship to you immediately. You will receive a one year warranty as if the machine were new.
Option 2, Marketplace Listing: If the machine's status shows that it is at the current owner's location, we will only charge your card a non-refundable $500 deposit at the time of purchase. This deposit covers the cost of retrieving and refurbishing the machine, and installing the latest firmware and hardware. Once the machine is refurbished (typically a couple days), we will ship it to you and charge your card for the balance of the listed purchase price. This option does not renew the warranty. Buyer pays shipping from our warehouse location in Seattle.
