You can call us to add equipment to our hot
list if you are in a I have
something somebody may want! |

NOTE: Not all equipment sent to us for sale, gets posted. But, I
promise you,
if you do not send us the info we will definitely not post it!
If you have an item you would like to sell you will probably not sell it unless you advertise it. So, why not post it on the web? It's the cheapest way to reach the most prospects. It's OK to post your equipment on multiple sites but at least post it somewhere - hopefully here.
Setting your desired price is part of advertising your product. You have to do
it. Set your price at the lowest amount you are willing to accept and be prepared to take less. This may sound
funny but if you really want to sell your item this is the way it works. If you don't really want to sell it, forget
posting it and go to a ball game.
If you don't know how much your thingamajig is worth just remember - right now it's not worth anything.
The method of payment is always negotiable. There is no right or wrong way. Protect yourself but be reasonable - there are some risks. Prepayment with a cashier'check or company check, prior to shipment, is not unusual. I've had companies send very large payments in advance based purely on trust and goodwill. I, in-turn, have done the same. If the dollar amount is large enough to cripple you should things turn sour, or you "just don't feel good" about things, you may want to discuss using an escrow service to hold the money until the shipment arrives. Other alternatives include down payments with the balance due on delivery. Don't be shy about telling the other party what you want.
All self-help books written by successful people say the key to success is integrity. This is an inescapable fact and in sales you come out ahead, every time, if you do not misrepresent your product. Make it your strategy to disclose everything about the item to the buyer. You'll be happier for it and you'll turn your buyer into a friend - that's when things get really good.
