TRAID-IN Equipment Exchange Program

The TRAID-In Equipment Exchange Program “matches” or connects people who have assistive devices they no longer need with people with disabilities who could use those devices. The program is available to New York State residents only, and is free of charge. Anyone who wishes to participate in the program must first complete an application form. There are two forms – one for sellers/donators and one for requesters. Please submit the appropriate form. After you submit an application, we will attempt to “match” you with a participant who either needs your device or who has the device you need. Once matched, we will contact you, and you will have one month to negotiate a deal. This will include working out how the item will be transferred from one party to the other. The seller/donator is responsible for letting us know whether the match was successful or not. If you have questions or need additional information please call us at 1-800-624-4143 (Voice/TTY/Spanish).Please keep in mind:

  • We do not make shipping arrangements or pay shipping costs; that's your responsibility.
  • If you are a seller, be realistic in setting a price; if the price is too high, your item is not likely to sell.
  • Please provide as much information as you can when describing your item.
  • When an item is for sale or donation, all persons who have indicated an interest in that item will be notified.
  • Once matched, sellers/donators and requesters have 30 days to complete the transaction.
  • The seller/donator is responsible for notifying us of the outcome of the match.
  • If we do not hear from the seller/donator within 90 days, the item will be removed from the list.
  • Unmatched items will remain on the list for one year, after which they will be removed.
  • A separate application must be submitted for each item.  There is no limit to the number of items you can request or sell/donate.
  • If you obtain/sell/donate an item before the program can match you, please notify us immediately.
  • It's a good idea not to rely on the TRAID-In Equipment Exchange Program as your only source to sell/donate or obtain your item.
