Buying & Bidding
4 questions
How do I request auction assistance?

Browse our available listings and contact our sales department for auction assistance. Before bidding, requesting an invoice, or making payment, availability, condition, final pricing, ownership documents, pickup details, and transport options should all be confirmed with our team.

💡 Call us at +1 617 410 5902 or email us before bidding — we're here to help you make a confident decision.
Can I request an inspection or additional listing information?

We do not allow on-site inspections as we operate as a high-volume export hub. However, we act as your eyes and ears — our listings include detailed mechanical and cosmetic reports, 50–100+ high-resolution photos, and video walkarounds.

📸 If the provided media is not sufficient, contact us for specific high-resolution video walk-arounds before placing your bid.
Are listing details guaranteed?

Listing details are based on available information and may need confirmation before purchase. Availability, condition, pricing, ownership documents, pickup details, and transport options are all subject to confirmation.

Contact our team before bidding to confirm any specific detail that is critical to your purchase decision.

What happens if I win an auction but do not pay?

Bidding is a legally binding commitment. Failure to complete a transaction results in a permanent ban from the platform and the forfeiture of any registration deposits.

⚠️ Important: We may also pursue legal action for breach of contract to maintain the integrity of our marketplace. Only bid if you are committed to completing the purchase.

Shipping & Transport
3 questions
Is transport included in the purchase price?

Transport is not automatically included unless clearly stated in writing on the invoice or purchase agreement. Transport estimates are subject to confirmation and may vary by unit, route, carrier, location, size, weight, timing, and permits.

🚚 We can help coordinate transport to your door. Contact us for a quote — typical shipping runs $0.60–$1.20/mile depending on size and weight.
How is shipping calculated for heavy machinery and tractors?

Shipping for tractors and construction machinery is negotiable. Due to the varying weights and dimensions of heavy equipment, we calculate costs on a case-by-case basis to ensure you get the most competitive freight rate available.

📞 Contact us with your location and the unit you're interested in for a specific transport estimate.
Do you assist with transport coordination?

Yes — we may assist with transport coordination for units located in the United States. Transport availability, costs, timing, and carrier options are subject to confirmation before purchase.

For international buyers, we also coordinate with shipping lines and freight forwarders. We strongly recommend Marine Cargo Insurance for all sea shipments.


💳
Payment
2 questions
When is payment due?

Payment is required in full via bank wire transfer within 3 business days of the auction's conclusion. Delivery and export logistics will only be initiated once the total balance is settled.

How does the refund process work?

If a major mechanical discrepancy or undisclosed defect is discovered during the 48-hour / 50-mile testing period, you must notify us immediately. If the claim is verified, we will facilitate a return and a full refund.

⚠️ Beyond this 48-hour/50-mile window, all sales are final and "As-Is." Contact us at the earliest sign of any issue.
