What Resell CNC does

Resell CNC (Resell-CNC, LLC) is a privately held used CNC equipment dealer founded in 2008 and headquartered in Maitland, Florida. The company operates a four-division platform — Retail Sales, Auctions, Appraisals, and Finance — that serves machine shops, manufacturers, financial institutions, and private equity firms across all 50 U.S. states, Canada, Mexico, and 20+ additional countries. Since inception, Resell CNC has transacted more than $550 million in used CNC assets including lathes, vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, 5-axis machines, and 50+ specialty equipment categories across 200+ brands such as Mazak, Okuma, DMG Mori, Haas, Hurco, and DN Solutions.

The company's core technology is a proprietary timed online auction platform (auction.resellcnc.com) with auto-extend anti-sniping protection, supported by named account managers who handle evaluation, negotiation, financing coordination, and logistics on a per-transaction basis. Resell CNC is the only Official Mazak Trade-In Center in North America, holds four CEA-certified in-house appraisers providing USPAP-compliant valuations, maintains an MDNA board seat, and operates a 20-person team with 200+ combined years of CNC industry experience. The company also runs two warehouse facilities totaling 28,000 square feet and field sales coverage across six U.S. cities.

Resell CNC generates revenue through a diversified transaction-based model: commissions on successful retail sales, fees on timed online auctions, professional service fees for certified equipment appraisals, and interest/fees from in-house equipment financing offering loans up to $500,000 with 90% approval rates. Equipment listings are commission-free for sellers; transaction commissions and finance spread are the primary economic engines. Distribution operates through the resellcnc.com retail marketplace, the auction.resellcnc.com platform, a field sales office network across Orlando, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Boston, and Phoenix, and direct enterprise relationships for facility liquidations. The company is bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds), with founder/CEO John Butz leading since 2008.
