Inspection
Inspected Before Listing.
Yours to Check After.
Every machine is inspected by our team and documented as being in full working condition before it goes live. Once it's in your yard, you get 14 days to inspect it yourself — full refund and free pickup if it doesn't match the listing.
Our Process
Four Checks Before It's Listed.
Every machine goes through a four-point inspection before it goes live. Hours verified, faults documented, condition report written — nothing listed until it's confirmed in full working condition.
Mechanical
Engine, transmission, hydraulics, and undercarriage checked under load. We test the machine as it will be used — not just at idle.
Electrical
Controls, wiring, sensors, lights and dashboard checked for full function. Faults that matter are documented — not glossed over.
Structural
Frame, boom, cab, welds and seals checked for cracks, damage or leaks. Structural integrity confirmed before the machine is approved.
Documentation
Hours verified, known faults written up, and a full condition report attached to the listing. Service records included where available.
Your Inspection
Fourteen Days. At Your Yard.
You don't inspect in someone else's yard on someone else's schedule. The machine arrives, you unload it, and the clock starts — 14 full days to check it thoroughly on your own terms.
What You Can Do
-
Run and operate it Start it, move it, work it — test the machine as it's meant to be used, not just at idle.
-
Bring in your mechanic If you want a second opinion, hire your own inspector — no restrictions on who you bring in.
-
Compare against the listing Hours, weight, year, condition report, disclosed faults — check it all against what we promised.
-
Document anything you find Photos, video, notes — if something doesn't match, we want it documented so we can act fast.
Your Decision
Accept or Reject. Your Call.
At the end of the 14-day window, there are only two outcomes. Both are simple, and neither one costs you anything you shouldn't have to pay.

- No return fee, no restocking charge
The Honest Answer
Why You Can't Inspect Before Bidding.
We get asked this a lot — and it deserves a straight answer, not a marketing spin. Here's exactly why pre-bid viewings aren't possible, and what we do instead.
The Reasons
What We Do Instead
Every machine is inspected by our team before it's listed — mechanical, electrical, structural, documentation. Nothing goes live until we've confirmed it's in full working condition, and any faults we find are disclosed on the listing. Then, once it's in your yard, you get the full 14-day window to inspect it yourself.
Common Questions
Inspection FAQs
The inspection questions buyers ask most. If yours isn't here, get in touch — we answer within one business day.
Can I inspect the machine before bidding?
No — pre-bid inspections aren't possible. Machines are held at lien holder facilities that don't offer viewing, loading, or trained staff for third-party access. Every machine has been pre-inspected by our team and is documented as being in full working condition, with a complete condition report on the listing. Your full inspection happens at your location, within the 14-day window after delivery.
How do I know the machine is in good condition?
Every machine goes through a four-point inspection before listing — mechanical, electrical, structural, and documentation. Nothing goes live until we've confirmed it's in full working condition. Any fault we find is disclosed on the listing, and a full condition report is attached. If anything still doesn't match when it arrives, the 14-day window protects you completely.
When does the 14-day inspection window start?
The moment the machine is unloaded at your yard. Not when it leaves the lien holder, not when it's in transit — the clock starts on delivery, at your site. That's the full 14 days to inspect it on your own terms.
Can I bring in my own mechanic or inspector?
Yes — no restrictions. Bring whoever you trust to assess the machine. The 14-day window is yours, and there's no requirement to use our team or anyone else. Do the inspection the way you want it done.
What happens if I find a problem?
Contact us immediately with photos, video, and notes describing the issue. If the machine materially differs from the listing, you can reject it within the 14-day window. We refund in full and pick the machine up from you for free. Full details are on our Refund/Reject page.
What if I don't inspect the machine at all?
That's fine — plenty of buyers don't. The 14-day window is there if you need it, not because you must use it. Once the window closes without a rejection, the machine is considered accepted and the 6-month warranty applies from delivery.
