Question 1

Is EquipHunter an auction platform?

Accepted Answer

No. EquipHunter is a fixed-price marketplace, not an auction. Sellers set their asking price based on real market data. Buyers know exactly what they're paying — no bidding wars, no surprises.

Question 2

How is equipment pricing determined?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is powered by 30,000+ real equipment sales across the country. When you list, our system calculates a market-based valuation for your specific machine — make, model, year, hours, and condition all factor in. You can accept it, adjust it, or get a certified inspection to support a higher price.

Question 3

Are buyers and sellers verified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every seller goes through a manual approval process before listing. Buyers are authenticated at account creation. Payment is held in escrow until delivery is confirmed, protecting both sides of every transaction.

Question 4

How does the 72-hour launch window work?

Accepted Answer

When you publish a listing, it enters a 72-hour launch window. During this time, it's promoted to buyers actively searching in that category. This focused period creates urgency and surfaces the most serious buyers first — so you're not waiting months for a lead.

Question 5

Can I finance equipment purchased on EquipHunter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Financing options are available at checkout. You can apply for equipment financing directly during the purchase flow, with decisions typically in minutes.
