How It Works
How to buy and sell used industrial machinery on 101machines — from creating a verified account to bidding, secure payment, rigging and delivery.
1. Create and verify your account
Register as a buyer or seller and verify your business details. Verification keeps the marketplace trusted and ensures every party is a genuine business — so you can bid, sell and transact with confidence.
2. Browse or list machinery
Buyers browse verified listings filtered by category, brand, condition and location — from CNC machines and lathes to presses, forklifts, generators and compressors.
Sellers submit equipment with photographs and detailed specifications; every listing is reviewed for accuracy and completeness before it goes live.
3. Inspect before you commit
Each listing includes condition notes, photos and specifications, and many lots come with an inspection report. You can request additional photos, run-test footage or information from the seller before placing a bid or making an offer.
4. Bid in auctions or buy directly
Place bids in live auctions and follow the current price and closing time, or buy instantly through fixed-price direct sales. Clear pricing and seller information let you decide with confidence.
5. Pay securely through the platform
Complete payment through the platform once you win an auction or confirm a direct purchase. Funds and order details are tracked end to end so both buyer and seller are protected.
6. Rig, ship and receive
We help coordinate rigging, dismantling, crating and heavy freight — plus customs documentation for cross-border orders — so machinery moves safely from seller to buyer. Track your order from your dashboard until it is delivered.
