It’s once again tax crunch time and I have been
getting frantic calls from people wanting me to tell them how much their
power
wheelchair is worth. My standard line is that I am not an equipment appraiser
and
I cannot provide a value for their donation. I also explain that
medical
equipment is considered “single-use” and really has no
value. I have begun to send this information along with my
response. Hope it helps. http://www.used-wheelchairs-usa.com/sell.cfm Sell

Electric Wheelchair Used Wheelchairs USA
buys gently used electric wheelchairs. To
request an offer for your used powerchair, please complete our
questionnaire
below. In most cases,
Medicare
or insurance has already paid for 80%-100% of the cost of your electric
wheelchair when it was new. So for a used powerchair in excellent condition
and
less than 4 years old, we may pay up to 10%
of the manufacturer's original list price (with a $1400 maximum), minus the cost of freight delivery to us in
Virginia
(usually $300-$500). Here's an example
for a
used electric wheelchair in excellent
condition:
$8000 original price of wheelchair (80% paid by Medicare or
insurance)
$1600 price you actually paid for the wheelchair
(20%)
$800 highest price we will pay (10% of the original cost) if you
deliver
- $400 minus shipping to us in

$400 "typical" price we will pay you for this

Some electric
wheelchair
models (and some special features) are in greater demand than others, so
