- Information in your description is best viewed if written in bullet points or short sentences. Large blocks of text can be difficult for the Buyer to find the information needed.
- Review your opening offer. Buyers will be unable to submit offers below that amount. Bid on Equipment recommends pricing your Item to allow for offers that stimulate negotiation. You are not obligated to accept any offer below your asking price and you will have the opportunity to present counter offers for the Buyer’s consideration. We highly recommend that you regularly review your asking price and opening offer, they can be changed at any time (unless there is a current valid offer on your Item).

- Please advise us if you have listed units in separate listings but were used together as we can link the listings. For example: if you have a line of equipment but have listed the pieces separately, we can reference the other Items in each listing.
- If you have a large quantity of items to list, please contact us for a bulk upload form to assist you in making the process easier.
