## What Your Machine Is Worth

Straight answer: most working central DEXA machines wholesale between **$8,000 and $40,000** depending on model and generation — and yes, that's well below what refurbished units retail for, because the buyer carries deinstall, freight, refurbishment, warranty, and resale risk. Four things drive where your unit lands:

| Value Driver | What Buyers Look At |
| --- | --- |
| **Model generation** | Horizon/iDXA command multiples of Discovery/older Prodigy money; end-of-support models step down hard |
| **Tube life** | Scan count vs typical tube life for your model — a fresh tube can add thousands |
| **Licensed software** | Transferable body composition / CoreScan licenses are real money; undocumented software is valued at zero |
| **Deinstall access** | Ground floor and wide doors vs a third-floor walk-up changes the logistics math in your offer |

Wholesale value bands current as of July 2026.

Honest depreciation curve: DEXA machines lose value in steps, not slopes — each software generation, tube replacement cycle, and OEM end-of-support announcement knocks a tier off. If your model line was recently discontinued, selling sooner beats waiting; the used market prices in support risk faster than most owners expect. You can sanity-check offers against what comparable units retail for on our [for-sale listings](/dexa-machines/for-sale) — expect wholesale to run 40–60% of those retail bands.

    Submit the form; we'll ask for photos of the machine, console, and tube-status screen by email.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Cash offer
    
    A firm offer, typically within 48 hours of receiving photos — net to you, no fees deducted later.
    
3.  3
    
    ### Inspection & deinstall
    
    On acceptance, an engineer verifies condition on site, then professional riggers deinstall and freight the unit — scheduled around your facility, paid by the buyer.
    
4.  4
    
    ### Payment
    
    Payment at pickup — wire or check, your call. Don't release a machine to any buyer on net-30 promises.
    

## What We Buy — and Don't

-   **We buy:** Hologic Horizon and Discovery; GE Lunar iDXA and Prodigy (all generations); Norland and Osteosys central units — working, recently deinstalled, or in service.
-   **Case-by-case:** non-working units with intact tubes and consoles (parts value), and peripheral/pDXA units.
-   **We generally pass on:** pencil-beam units older than ~20 years, machines with no console/software, and units stripped for parts — the freight costs more than the remains are worth. We'll tell you straight rather than lowball.

## Selling FAQ

How much is my used DEXA machine worth?

As of July 2026, working Hologic Discovery units typically fetch $8,000–$18,000 wholesale, Horizons $18,000–$35,000, GE Prodigy units $8,000–$20,000, and iDXA units $18,000–$40,000 — retail resale runs higher. Value drivers are model generation, X-ray tube life, which software licenses transfer, service history, and how hard the deinstall is.

Who buys used bone density machines?

Used-equipment dealers and brokers (who refurbish and resell), other facilities buying direct, and exporters serving overseas markets. Dealers offer speed and handle logistics; direct sales net more but you carry the listing, vetting, and freight burden yourself.

Do I handle shipping when I sell my DEXA machine?

Not when selling to a dealer or broker — professional deinstallation and freight are part of the offer, and the price you're quoted should be net to you. If a buyer asks you to arrange rigging and shipping yourself, price that at $2,000–$8,000 and factor it into the comparison.
