J. Morita · Dental Equipment · $32,000 – $65,000
A unit with <3,000 patient scans and full service records (annual calibration receipts, sensor reports) sells in the $52k–$65k range in 3 weeks. Missing documentation or >5,000 scans without maintenance history tanks price to $32k–$42k because buyers fear a $6,000–$8,000 sensor replacement in month two.
Fire it up and run a quality assurance phantom scan - cloudy or striped images mean the collimator or scintillator is drifting and that's a $4,200 factory repair. Check the gantry for play by hand; if it moves more than 1mm side-to-side, the bearings are shot. Pull the service logs from J. Morita's portal before you even agree to see it - if a unit hasn't been calibrated in 18 months, walk.
Southern California DSO chains (Sage Dental, Western Dental) are buying these aggressively because they're replacing older Morita i-CAT units - three units moved in Orange County alone in Q1 2024. Texas and Florida secondary markets lag by 6 weeks, so price $4k–$7k higher if you sell a CA unit there.

The CS 9300 is $78k–$95k new and has a bigger 17x13.7cm FOV, but the Veraviewepocs 3De handles 90% of dental cases at half the footprint. You're paying for Sony's sensor in the Carestream; the Morita sensor is just as good for general practice, worse only if you're a max-fax surgery center doing 40+ CBCT scans per week.
Missing or incomplete software licenses. The 3De comes with acquisition and basic reconstruction; if the seller can't produce proof of paid 3D software (advanced recon, segmentation tools), you're looking at a $3,200–$5,400 software unlock fee from J. Morita. Buyers always ghost when that surprise lands.
Rated for 150,000 exposures under normal use - most 6-year-old units are at 60,000–85,000 exposures. Replacement tube is $2,800–$3,400 and takes a J. Morita tech 4 hours to install. It's doable but builds into buyer calculations - subtract $1,500–$2,000 from your asking price if the unit hasn't had a tube replacement yet and is past year five.

Selling direct saves you 60–90 days of listing and chain negotiations; I move Veraviewepocs units to qualified DSO buyers in 2–4 weeks because I know their equipment lifecycle. That $2,000–$3,500 broker fee is cheaper than carrying depreciation for six months.
