Although buying from an auction is available to anyone, we advise to initially start small. All sales are not created equal. Conditions vary from purchase to purchase, seller to seller. You may not receive all the information about the equipment you are looking to purchase. You may get a barely used machine. You may end up with a machine that is good for parts. Repairs on broken or damaged machines may cost more than the purchase price. Having as much information as possible will help you buy with confidence. Consider the equipment descriptions, shipping costs, potential repairs, and any additional costs before estimating your maximum bid. Remember: ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Bid at your own risk. There are NO returns, refunds or exchanges. The sellers are not manufacturers or dealers, and will not offer customer support or after-sale services. Address questions to the seller before bidding. Don't be alarmed!!! Auctions provide excellent deals for those looking to purchase equipment online. Auction experience and connection with machine repair services are a bonus, but not necessary.
