Buying Used Machinery

There a many suppliers available of used machinery around the world, but the big question is what factors should be considered while buying used machinery. Here I would discuss some of the key factors that should be keep in mind while making buying decision

1.       Model and Make

The first question that should be answered is what your requirement is and used machinery is the right choice for it or not.  Then you should accordingly decide the model and brand for the machinery as every brand has its own pro and cons.

2.      Price

Once your are sure about your requirement and made decision which machine to buy than the second most important task is to buy right machinery at the right price. The solution to get the right price is to take quotation from many suppliers of the same machine and then compare the prices. Negotiation is the key for getting the right price.

3.       Payment Methods.

Once everything  is finalized about the product its price you should be aware of paying methods and terms and accept price only considering these two factor, as a supplier may be charging a little higher price but may not be offering CNF where as other supplier may be offering low price but offering FOB.  The methods could be LC and TT one should be aware of these terms also.
