Most broadcast and Pro AV businesses have surplus equipment somewhere - but certain situations are much more likely to create it. Facility moves, technology changes, regular day-to-day accumulation and planned fleet refreshes can all leave perfectly serviceable equipment sitting unused.

Recognising these situations early can make a significant difference. More time means more options to organise equipment, reach the right buyers and sell while there is still strong demand - rather than allowing valuable kit to lose value in storage or, worse, end up as waste.

We look at four common reasons surplus kit builds up, what to watch for in each situation, and some real examples of what good planning can achieve - including turning a potential £40,000 disposal bill into around £50,000 of resale revenue.
