Stay on the Leading Edge

Trade Up & Stay ahead of your competition

Upgrade to the most productive test and measurement equipment while maintaining your budget.
When you purchase new equipment you can now reduce your cost by utilizing the Continental Resources Trade‑Up program. Continental Resources, Inc. (CRI) is constantly purchasing a wide range of pre-owned, late model, used test and measurement equipment including RF test/DNB, Signal generators, Oscilloscopes, Telecom Test, etc. Stretch your test equipment budget – get the highest value for equipment you own, but no longer have actively deployed.

Most companies have some test equipment assets that are getting little, if any, use. This may be the result several factors:

• You purchased gear for a particular project and it is now sitting idle

• New testing requirements exceed the capabilities of previously purchased equipment

• Newer models are now available that will improve efficiency and productivity

Get the Most for Your Idle Equipment
Should it Stay or Should it Go?

Trade up your equipment as soon as it is no longer productive. Trading‑Up while there is still value in your equipment will recapture a higher percentage of your investment. Changes in technology which improve productivity will reduce the market value faster then its depreciation. Delaying the timely disposal will result in a lower market value for your equipment. Many of today’s models have a shorter support life and are being updated with new features in as little as 18 to 36 months.
