Selling a used scanner - experience?

[Morave]

Hello,
does anyone here have an experience with selling (or buying) a used Dental Wings unit? We just went through this process and it wasn't a smooth ride. Is it just DW or is it always a pain?
Thank you.

It's probably DW. They are partly owned by Straumann, and Straumann never makes anything easy. I wanted to give away my CS2 scanner, which is basically obsolete, and they want $7000.00 to transfer the license.

Seven what!?
That's like twice the value of the device we just sold. Probably more.
We wouldn't use the device anymore, so giving it to someone else makes sense. At least DW will get some more money for annual licenses. But if they ask for such a "penalty", it's possible the scanner will end up in a trash.

I'm hoping someone will want to use mine for explosive practice. I just want to watch

Depending on these devices locations (shipping cost or drive time),I adopt out of service and out of date stuff to make other stuff.
Some higher end motors and such in them. Please don't put them in the landfill with out asking me.
