How long does a search take?

It depends on the equipment and how tight your criteria are. Your Scout works the search after you submit your request and delivers the report when the research is complete, not on a fixed clock — quality over speed.

Your Scout researches dealer listings, auction results, and online marketplaces relevant to the equipment you need, then evaluates candidates against your stated budget, condition, and location requirements.

Do I have to buy anything you find?

No. The report is research and a recommendation. You decide whether and what to buy, and you transact directly with the seller.

What if I need help after the report?

The Concierge plan adds hands-on help — seller contact, question preparation, inspection and transport coordination, and negotiation prep — through to closing.

How My Equipment Scout works

Quick answer

You tell us the machine you need, your budget, your condition preferences, and your location. A Scout researches dealers, auctions, and marketplaces, scores the strongest candidates against your criteria, and sends you a ranked Scout Report with a clear recommendation. We are buyer-side: we work for you and never sell the equipment ourselves.

The Scout Score

Every candidate, scored the same way

The Scout Score is our proprietary 0–100 rating that helps you compare candidates consistently. We weigh the factors that matter most when buying used equipment, so the strongest options rise to the top.

Important: the Scout Score is a research and comparison tool — not an inspection, appraisal, certification, or guarantee. Always verify condition independently before purchase.
