Build a defendable price range from comparable evidence, documented condition and complete transaction cost. Do not apply universal depreciation curves or country premiums to a specific machine.
Methodology reviewed: 3 October 2026
A comparable is useful only when its differences are visible. Capture these fields for every observation.
Manufacturer, model, configuration, serial range and manufacturing year
Size, output, power, working envelope, payload or other primary capability
Hours, cycles, shifts, duty profile, material processed and environment
Operational status, inspection findings, wear measurements and deferred work
Tooling, attachments, controls, software, manuals, spares and warranty
Asking or completed price, currency, date, taxes, buyer premium and location
| Step | Control |
|---|---|
| Comparable evidence | Start with several genuinely similar observations; record why each is comparable. |
| Specification | Adjust only for measurable differences in capacity, configuration and included equipment. |
| Condition | Use written inspection findings and repair quotations, not a generic age percentage. |
| Location and delivery | Separate machine value from dismantling, loading, freight, duty, tax and installation. |
| Time and currency | Retain each source date and original currency; identify the exchange rate and date for any conversion. |
| Marketability | Treat time-to-sell, buyer depth and seller urgency as negotiation context, not invented percentage premiums. |
Range: state a range and currency. Basis: identify the price basis and location. Date: state the valuation date. Evidence: list comparables and adjustments. Assumptions: disclose unverified condition, title, tax and delivery assumptions. Sensitivity: show the effect of the largest uncertain repair or logistics item.
