We offer a simple transparent service to help you sell your equipment:
1. You supply the machinery details, pictures and videos, asking price.
2. If required, we provide feedback / load machines on site.
3. All enquiries come to us - your identity is not disclosed on the listing.
4. We do the marketing via this web site, Search Engine Optimisation, our newsletters (Market Watch – 2,000 = subscribers, and Print Machinery Update), and our network of known buyers.
5. Throughout the listing, if required, we help you with advice on the machinery’s description, price and its presentation.
6. We work for you only liaising with you and buyer to help get you the best price in your time frame, and with best terms.
8. You invoice / collect the money.
Put simply, we’re your sales and marketing agent, helping and advising you throughout the process.
We charge commission only on sale:
A. Commission payable on sale for Parties we introduce and / or negotiate with:
For items sold under $3,000 the rate is $150+gst or 12.5%+gst whichever is greater.
For items sold from $3,000 to $50,000 the rate is 12.5%+gst.
Items over $50,000 but under $100,000 attract a 10%+gst commission.
Items over $100,000 attract a 6%+gst commission.
B. Commission payable on sale to Parties you sell to that we have not introduced *:
For items sold under $3,000 the rate is $75+gst or 6.25%+gst whichever is greater.
For items sold from $3,000 to $50,000 the rate is 6.25%+gst.
Items over $50,000 but under $100,000 attract a 5%+gst commission.
Items over $100,000 attract a 3%+gst commission.
* we are engaged to sell your equipment, however we understand you may find a buyer elsewhere, hence our commission rates are halved, where you find a buyer and you sell the item to them.
To achieve the best price, you need to:
• Supply complete and accurate description, with all the accessories.
• Supply quality pictures – present the machine well, clean it up, remove superfluous items that detract from the images.
• Supply quality videos – take videos from your mobile phone / recorder of the machine in operation.
• Price the machinery at market rates – not too high or too low. We can assist in advising you depending on your circumstances and when you need it sold / removed.
Finally, it’s our job to market the machine to the right target market.
We’re unique in the marketplace:
1. We’re not dealers – we only work with vendors to help them achieve the best market price.
2. We’re transparent – no smoke and mirrors, just working for you and paid only on sale.
3. We’re industry based / experienced – we only market to the printing and graphic arts industry. We understand the machinery, and via our extensive experience, know market values. We understand who the buyers are and what they need.
4. We have a data base of over 2,000 people in your target market – local Australian and New Zealand print related businesses and over 50 Used Equipment dealers (local and overseas).
5. Our promotion - We have a great web site which ranks very highly on Google, we market via our on line newsletters, Market Watch (2,000 plus distribution), and Market Update (over 200 subscribers that have asked to be informed of new and changed listings).
Absolutely – we can help dealers, and machinery agents market their equipment. Our service is slightly different in as much as we only supply the leads for you to do the selling, so commission rates are substantially less.
