Trading capital equipment, answered.

Click "Sign Up" and follow the prompts. You verify your work email, then complete identity and operating-entity verification before you can buy, sell, or lease equipment.

To transact, you confirm your email and phone, upload a government-issued ID, and verify your operating entity. This confirms the company behind each deal while your underlying documents stay protected and are never shared with a counterparty.

Registered lets you browse and message. Verified — identity and entity confirmed — lets you submit deposit-backed offers and publish listings. Trusted is earned through a track record of closed settlements. See Trust & Verification for the full breakdown.

Click "List an Asset," add nameplate ratings, photos, and inspection or commissioning reports, then set your sale price or lease terms, lead time, and load-out point. The Nameplate Scanner can pull specs straight from a nameplate photo.

Industrial power and datacenter assets — turbines, generators, transformers, switchgear, UPS, PDUs, servers and racks, chillers, cooling towers, motors, cranes, and compressors. See the Trading & Listing Guidelines for prohibited and restricted items.

Accurate nameplate ratings and operating hours, an honest condition tier (New-Surplus, Overhauled, or As-Is), photos of the actual unit and its nameplate, provenance and title, and a real lead time. Buyers underwrite the asset from your listing — completeness closes deals.

Benchmark comparable surplus and refurbished units. Factor in nameplate rating, condition, hours, included spares and controls, and lead time. Deposit-backed offers then show you real market demand.

Find a unit that fits your spec, set your purchase or lease terms, and submit the offer with a refundable deposit. The verified seller has 24 hours to accept, counter, or decline.

A refundable deposit is authorized when you submit an offer. It signals a real counterparty, reserves the asset off-market during inspection, and is applied at closing or refunded if the deal does not proceed. Forfeitable deposits can secure preferred-buyer terms.

You receive the seller’s contact details and load-out logistics. Coordinate inspection and commissioning, confirm the unit meets its nameplate, and escrow releases funds on acceptance.

Yes, but forfeiture terms vary by listing. Review the deposit terms before you submit — a late withdrawal may forfeit part of your deposit.

Funds are held in escrow when an offer is accepted and released to the seller only after the buyer confirms delivery and commissioning to spec. Nothing moves counterparty to counterparty. A PCI-compliant processor handles the funds.

Major cards, ACH, and wire transfer for larger transactions. All payments run through the escrow platform — off-platform settlement is prohibited.

The payout releases once the buyer confirms delivery and commissioning, minus the platform fee. Payouts typically settle within 2–3 business days.

Yes. Settlement details are processed by a PCI-compliant provider and never shared with a counterparty. Escrow deposits and payouts clear through the processor, never buyer to seller directly.

Before escrow releases, both parties sign off on a condition and nameplate checklist. Arrange a qualified inspection, verify ratings and operating hours against the listing, and witness or document commissioning where feasible.

Freight and rigging responsibility is set in the listing and confirmed in-platform before an offer is accepted. Document the unit’s condition during rigging and load-out — escrow holds until delivery and acceptance are confirmed.

Document the discrepancy with photos and inspection notes immediately, and raise it with the seller before releasing escrow. If it is not resolved, file a dispute from your dashboard — escrow stays held while it is open.

Contact support and raise a dispute. Escrowed funds are not released until the buyer confirms the unit meets spec, and the umpire process resolves discrepancies for both sides.

The stack of safeguards that covers a deal from offer through commissioning: nameplate and provenance verification, escrow settlement, deposit-backed offers, and umpire dispute resolution.

Go to Dashboard > Transactions, find the deal, and click "File Dispute." Attach inspection reports, commissioning data, load-out photos, and messages. We respond within 48 hours and escrow holds while the dispute is open.

A neutral umpire reviews the evidence from both counterparties — nameplate data, inspection findings, messages, and transaction history — and issues a binding determination: full release, refund, or deposit adjustment. Escrow settles to the decision.

Yes. Government IDs and entity documents are encrypted and never shared. Your exact site location stays hidden until an offer is accepted, and direct contact is released only when a deal is under way.
