I don't think anyone reemed you here, I as well as some others disagreed with your opinion of what brokers do and that there are levels of service, as well as price. More service, more cost. Guys like Bill provide more service than guys like Paul, and trust me, there is also a price involved with that added service, and sometimes it's really worth it, sometimes it's not needed. It's up to the customer and what they are willing to pay for.

If you're buying an auto, I'd advise buyers to go through a reputable broker like Bill, if you're buying used newman rollers or a manual press then you obviously don't need the level of service required for the auto. Or you could just spend a ton of time researching and gaining knowledge in all the equipment and how it works and do everything yourself. It's completely up to the customer as to what level of help they need.

Below is a direct cut and paste from Inkman posted in the thread I started. Would you not consider that a reem?

Brandt stated the same opinion above in this thread concerning brokers. Why not reem him? Just because you like Paul doesn't mean you should have a double standard.

There was no conditions in the post made by Brandt or others in this thread about brokers. Clearly stated if the broker has not seen, inspected and laid hands on equipment then they shouldn't sell it. Why not call them whiners? Why rip these auction guys? They are just "trying to make a living" right?

I am not trying to stick up for these guys but can't have it both ways.


"So this guy is whining about a guy trying to earn a living, I have heard good things about Paul on this site from some reputable people at that, not only that I have never seen a claim of him burning anyone. The man is trying to earn a living, he is researching a scouring for equipment that he can then target to the industry crowd, you think his time had no value what a joke. If you have such an issue with brokers then do not use them and
Leave them alone for dos sake, no one is forcing you to buy from one and you even had the chance to inspect a piece of machinery in person."

Agree 100%. But it applies to all brokers.

Today "Broker" is not as bad of word as it was yesterday. Free rides don't exist, the people that listed on this auction were thinking "big buck" selling prices. The auctioneers were thinking of 36% comissions on "As Is" sales and the bidders were thinking they were going get the deal of a lifetime.

I get e-mails and calls every day from potential buyers, many of them end the conversation when they find out I am a middleman in the deal. That's ok with me, I find deals for people that don't have time to travel and inspect every machine. When you ask me the condition of the machine I have a solid answer based on my opinion, not the seller's. Brokers also help sellers that are too busy to cater to potential buyers (of which well over 50% are tire kickers). A guy called me last week and asked who the seller is, he didn't earn the answer to that question. I know the seller because I hit the road and found him, if you want the machine, I am the seller.

Some people middleman deals without ever inspecting what they are selling, these are the people that give Brokers a bad reputation.

Buying and selling equipment requires trust, this is earned over time. Trust is not manufactured on a website that materialized over dinner with sketchy offerings.
Now this sounds legitimate to me. Just my opinion but I would do business with Bill.
