Given what has to be the high cost of delivery of some of your items, doesn't it seem that Facebook Marketplace or Craig's List might be a better venue for these things?

Plus most sales on eBay carry a Money Back Guarantee.  That means that, if the buyer believes your item is not as described in any way, he can open an item not as described case and eBay will require that you front him the cost of return delivery if you want it back.  This applies even if you know his claim of NAD is wrong.

Think about it.

Why not sell them yourself?

Set up a seller account and list them.

How about you sell them?

Internal politics of setting up a business account. I am not selling them privately.

You do realize this sounds exactly like the old work-from-home scam - right?

I'd have to imagine getting another party involved would complicate matters further, but if you still want to find someone to help you, I suggest you try to find someone local to you.  That type of thing would need someone who could be hands-on in looking over the equipment and help the buyer take possession legally.

Also, review this policy thoroughly first: https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/paying-items/ebay-business-equipment-purchase-protection?id=4637

Hmmm.  Be prepared to provide receipts for the items to prove they aren't stolen.   Few people will want to take the fall.  Why aren't you selling the big stuff locally?

Someone has to deal with the reporting for tax purposes.

Sounds to me you need to hire a tech guy/gal who would be a full time company resource to deal with the complexities of selling high value industrial equipment

I think what you need is someone to help you set up an eBay account and guide you on how to list and ship items. It is more difficult than it looks.

The reason why you should set up a new account for yourself is if any of us sets up such an account, selling new, very expensive items, we would be flagged immediately by eBay because not only are we selling new items, but it the new items are very different from what we have been selling all along. It would bring a request for invoices, a kiss of death, and we will be banned from selling on eBay. 

My advice to you is set up an eBay account to sell the items, but start slow. Start with the lowest priced items. Sell a couple a month. Increase to three the next month and slowly list one of two very expensive items. Spread them out over a year. Once you have established yourself, you can list as much as you want.

Listing dozens of new, expensive items at once will immediately get the attention of eBay and you do not want that. It always ends badly for the seller.

So, you have a business, but can't set up a business account?

I am not believing ANY of this. The way this typical scam works is that you will list some big hunk of machinery (using photos supplied by someone else) and magically it will sell. You then get fake payment notifications and pressure to send the payment to the supposed seller ASAP. It could also be in the form of a payment that does actually get made - but with a stolen or hacked credit card that will be charged back to your account after you have sent off the funds to some other account.

Even in a legit sale run like this YOU are responsible for making your buyer happy. If they receive the item and want to return it then YOU are on the hook to refund the buyer. Big problem if you already sent the funds to this other company.

Finally - it looks like a bit of a red flag to have one name on the OP here but soliciting emails to be sent to a Gmail account under a completely different name (which Khoros has now deleted).

Looks like you hit a nerve.

It's not that hard, just provide the information they request.

Starting out, you would have limits and wouldn't be able to sell what you're wanting to.

Finding a seller that would take the risk of selling for you, I'd say it's impossible.
