Do you build handmade machines?
Solutat is the only place where you can sell your creations directly to professional tattoo artists.
This Solutat calculator makes it easy to estimate the price of used tattoo equipment based on its current new price (including tax) and its condition. The estimate serves as a guideline for setting a reasonable price before listing the item for sale. The actual condition of the equipment, its wear and tear, the included accessories, and market demand may affect the final price.
A simple baseline for second-hand tattoo equipment value
Setting a price for used tattoo equipment isn't always easy. The Solutat calculator provides a simple basis for estimating the value of used tattoo equipment based on two factors: the current new price (including tax) and the actual condition of the equipment.
The goal is not to impose a selling price, but to help you get a consistent benchmark before putting a tattoo machine, power supply, pedal, furniture, or other equipment up for sale.
Frequently asked questions about the valuation of used tattoo equipment
How does the used tattoo equipment value calculator work?
The calculator uses the current new price including VAT of the equipment and then applies an indicative discount based on its condition.
The more the equipment has been used or shows signs of wear, the greater the discount applied. This gives you a secondhand tattoo equipment estimate that can serve as a starting point for setting your resale price.
What new price should be used to calculate the market value?
You must start from the new price currently displayed in the store for the same product, and not the price at which you bought it several months or several years before.
The second-hand tattoo equipment market value is thus calculated from a current reference, which makes it possible to obtain a more consistent estimate.
What discount should be applied depending on the condition of the equipment?
The basis used by the Solutat calculator is:
- New, sealed box: -15 %
- Like new: -25 %
- Excellent condition: -30 to -35 %
- In very good condition: -40 %
- Good condition: -50 %
- Correct / heavy wear: -60 % or more
These percentages serve as a basis for estimating the price of used tattoo equipment. They do not constitute a mandatory selling price.
Does the estimate necessarily correspond to the price at which my equipment will be sold?
No. The used tattoo equipment valuation obtained with the calculator remains indicative.
The actual price may vary depending on the brand, model, age, exact condition, included accessories, equipment rarity, and market demand at the time of sale.
You remain free to set your price.
Can I use the calculator for a machine, a power supply, or tattoo furniture?
Yes. The second-hand tattoo equipment calculator is not limited to a list of brands or references.
You can use it to estimate a tattoo machine, a power supply, a foot pedal, tattoo furniture, or any other equipment for which you know the current new price including tax and whose condition you can assess.
How to estimate a handmade machine or rare equipment?
For a handmade machine, an antique part, a discontinued model, or collector's equipment, the calculator provides a starting point.
The value can be heavily influenced by the builder, the rarity of the model, its history, or the demand. In this case, the calculated market value must be complemented by a more specific estimate of the equipment.
Why use a valuation to sell used tattoo equipment?
A price database helps avoid two frequent mistakes: offering equipment that is too close to its current new price or, conversely, undervaluing equipment that is still in excellent condition.
The secondhand tattoo equipment market value thus provides a baseline reference before publishing an ad.
