Selling a machine
shouldn't be hard

Machinery Quotes is an Australian company with a background in online advertising. We built this business because buying and selling used equipment had become slow, scattered and very expensive. We thought that was backwards so we've fixed it.

How it works
1
List your machine for free
No listing fees, no lock-in.
2
We bring the buyers
We advertise it to buyers who are actively looking.
3
You only pay per lead
Every enquiry comes straight to you.
Sellers shouldn't have to pay hundreds to upload their machines to random directories and hope they get a call!
Why we exist

One machine doesn't need a marketing department

Most people selling a machine are not marketers. They're a farmer with a tractor they've outgrown, or a builder with a spare excavator sitting idle.

They have a business to run, but selling one machine has quietly become a second job: list on a dozen sites, pay every one, write the ads, chase the tyre-kickers, and compete with dealers who do this full time. We never thought a good machine should need all of that to find its next owner. That is the whole reason we exist. We take the marketing off the person who just wants to sell, and carry it ourselves.

So we advertise for you

Rather than leave a seller to spend across a dozen sites and chase every enquiry, we take the advertising on ourselves. We build the campaigns and put each machine in front of the buyers who are genuinely in the market for it.

Generating enquiries online is our background, so we know where the buyers are and how to reach them. Every enquiry goes straight to the seller, who talks to the buyer and does the deal directly.

Listing and hoping isn't selling

The old way is passive. You upload a machine to a directory, it lands on a list with a thousand others, and you wait. A passive listing gets a passive result, which is usually no result at all.

Selling is active. Someone has to go out, find the buyer, put your machine in front of them, and give them a reason to act. That's the part everyone else skips, and the part we take on. We think it is how good machines get sold from here on.

Getting a machine seen is only half the battle. Plenty of good deals fall over because the finance is too slow or too dear, so we partnered with Valiant Finance and their panel of over 90 specialised lenders to take that friction away too. It's one more part of the market we wanted to make easier.

What we stand for

Honesty

We keep the listings real and don't dress them up. We tell every buyer to inspect a machine in person, because we don't. We'd rather earn your trust than push a sale. No fake urgency and no games.

Fairness

A farmer selling one tractor gets the same reach as a dealer moving a hundred. By carrying the advertising risk ourselves, we give a one-machine seller the same shot as the biggest yard in the state. The machine will sell on how good it is, not on the budget behind it.

Accountability

We put our money where our mouth is. We take on the cost and the risk of finding a buyer, and we only charge when we deliver one. If a machine doesn't sell, that's on us, not the seller.

How it works

Free to list - only pay when we send you a lead

List your machine for free here on our site. Once you do, we'll advertise it to buyers who are actively looking. We verify every enquiry, ensuring they are double opted in, then send the buyer's details straight to you. You'll receive their name, mobile and email. Once you've got that from us it's up to you to call them and do the deal. You'll only pay us when we deliver the first lead.

Unlike other marketplaces, the moment your listing is live we run dedicated advertising campaigns on your behalf. We come from online advertising, so we know how to generate enquiry, where the buyers are hiding, and how to get them to want to know more. Best of all, we carry the advertising risk for you. You're only charged once the leads land in your account, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We don't rely on organic traffic alone, we take a proactive advertising approach to help you sell your machinery faster.

First and most important, listing your machine is completely free. You'll only pay when we send you a verified, double opted in lead. This means there is no risk at all to you. We carry the advertising risk and back ourselves that we can deliver exactly what you need. Prices start from $49 for individuals and $199 for dealers. If you need more leads we can help. Check our pricing page for more detail.

A verified, double opted in person who has asked for more information about your machine. They've supplied their name, mobile and email, specifically requested more information, and are expecting a call, email or SMS. This is what makes them a genuine enquiry who is expecting to hear from you. Not every lead buys, and some can be difficult to reach. The key to success is to follow up as fast as you can in business hours, while they're still hot.

We run targeted advertising for your machine across multiple channels buyers actually use, and we verify every enquiry before it reaches you. We take care of all the advertising and lead generation, and the buyers come to you.
