Old Printer Fleet - able to sell?

[Janx1975]

Hi,

 

Our school is finally replacing 60+ printers for a fleet of 10 MFD managed printers.

 

I am wondering if anyone here knows of a legal way of selling these older printers to save some money for the school rather than just scrapping them or donating them to a charity.

The business manager is worried that we cant sell them on ebay for example, as this may affect our funding rights (as printers were bought without VAT) or be classed as fraudulent, so is wondering if there is any legitimate avenues for selling these onto a third part company (Midlands area).

 

Even if it generates £10-£20 per device that would be something the school could use to put back in for our students.

 

Any advice or info greatly received.

There are issues around selling on eBay/with PayPal regarding separation of financial concerns and VAT reporting, yes. There shouldn't be as much of an issue with selling on an invoice basis - this way everything is recorded and funded in the "usual" way.

 

I'd find a company that wants them and get the school to raise an invoice. If unsure, you/your Business Manager should talk to the LA's financial controller/their department. (Even if you're an academy they should be able to advise)
