www.mymonsterequipment.com/escrow.htm Businesses and individuals can save so much money buying used or refurbished equipment instead of brand new equipment. Though, anyone buying used equipment should be very cautious to make sure you are getting what you are paying for. You should always make sure you know exactly what you will be using the machine for and make sure that the particular piece you are looking at will get the job done that you are wanting. Also, be sure that you take the time to think about all the questions you could ask the seller. They should be able to answer all of them or at the very least promptly get back to you with any questions or concerns you have. All the time, we see people buying equipment, only to spend more money on it fixing things that should have been handled already. Please be careful with who you do business with in this sort of industry. www.mymonsterequipment.com Does anybody else have some good advice for knowing how to cautiously buy equipment? Or advice on deciding who to work with on purchasing used equipment? www.mymonsterequipment.com/about.htm

I've worked for companies that would "paint overhaul" equipment, then send it to auction. Some of it would barely move under it's own power. Then they would turn around and buy something that was "prettier" but in worse shape. They bought a grey market John Deere,once that had so much slop you couldn't get a 1 foot bucket in a 4 foot ditch without hitting both sides. It was a pitiful machine. It set in the shop for about 2 to 3 months in about a gazzillion pieces. I guess it was karma. But when you buy site unseen, you'll get taken sometimes. Sad thing is it came straight to the job site, right into an airplane plant, I was digging beside billions of dollars worth of planes and machines. Without any locates other than the plant's best guess. The plus of the machine was it wouldn't hardly cut dirt , let alone break a pipe. I rolled right over the top of a piece of clay tile. It left the job site that night for it's 3 month nap...
