Hi everyone,

I have come across some online auction sites selling used equipment. Has anyone got any experience of using this route to ownership of some machines and if so can any advice be given?

Thanks

Gareth

If it's Peaker Patterson then beware.

If something doesn't make an undisclosed minimum it gets pulled and goes in a later auction. Fried of mine 'bought' a CVA lathe listed as for spares 3 times before they finally released it.
