I'm new to Equipmentfacts. Everything went really well. I like being able to select auctions in my area and create a watch list. Bought a tractor on my first auction. Communication was great. Would highly recommend Equipmentfacts to everyone.

Thanks for the feedback! We'll let the seller know. I don't believe it was anything intentional, either miscommunication or a simple mistake.

Thank you for the feedback! We'll let the seller know. We encourage them to list the general condition of the item but the seller controls the information since they are listing it for sale. If you don't k=have the information yo need for the item, I wouldn't bid on the item.

It is easy to bid on most auctions, however at an auction in Canada on April 26,2025 I could not bid because I kept getting the message that the details of both parties on the visa card did not match the bidder details on Eeuipmentfacts. However, these details are the same and at other auctions the credit card is accepted

Thank you for the feedback! Sounds like an issue unique to that seller, we'll let them know. EF doesn't request any credit card to enter any auction, only a select number of sellers do required a card on file.

Very disappointed the item that I purchased was not as described in description They made it sound like it was a good running, clean machine with heat and AC. The machine has Assess amount Of rust heat air conditioning does not work they spray painted everything to cover it up so that you could not tell by the pictures very deceptive in order for online bidding to work, seller must be honest

Horrible. The auction was delayed the whole time so it was hard to bid and you all banned my account mid auction to where I couldn't bid on anything else.

Thank you for the feedback! Accounts are subject to reverification since we have automated registration. I let the bidder dept. know about your concern. Please accept my apologies for the delay.

I was really impressed by how efficient the auction was, and how seamlessly the online bidding was integrated with the floor bidders who were on site. As an online bidder, it was great to be able to hear the auctioneer in real time, and the auction moved fast.
