Tips for Selling Equipment

Links to Helpful Information

1. Have your vehicle or part information ready: year, make, model, price, etc. Also, have your description prepared. The description you enter should point out the selling points of your listing, i.e. super clean, low miles, etc. We have found the more information you provide the faster your listing will sell. Our listing forms are thorough and we encourage you to complete as much of the forms as possible. Check all that apply, be as honest as possible, and watch your listing sell.
   
   
2. Price your ad carefully. Do some research on our site to determine the values of your products before you list. If you need help feel free to contact us.
   
   
3. A valid email address is very important at TruckerToTrucker. This is the only way we will contact you as to secure your privacy. Also your potential buyers will use this address to contact you. If you do not have an email address you can get free accounts many places on the web, such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, Excite. If you would like to have an ad but do not want to handle it yourself, contact us and we will handle it for you.
   
   
4. Photos are very important in online advertising. We allow 20 photos for free. We recommend uploading all 9 showing good and bad points. We allow captions if needed, so you can point out the good or the bad points. i.e. photo 1 New Brakes or photo 2 dent right side, etc. If you have a digital camera, shoot more photos than you need. This allows you to pick the best quality shots for upload. The minimum resolution is 640 X 480, however if your photos are larger than that, our upload feature will scale them down. Please be reminded that only jpg format is accepted. If you do not have access to a digital camera, any camera will work. The images need to be on a disc in jpg format. (Floppy or Cd) Any film processing outlet will offer these options. Remember we can help if you have any trouble with this.
   
   
5. A major credit card will be asked for in the checkout process. We currently are accepting American Express, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover. All transactions are secured through VeriSign. If another form of payment is required, contact us and arrangements will be made.
   
   
6. Buyers and sellers should be aware that some parties are less than accurate or fair in the assessment of their vehicles or parts. In the future TruckerToTrucker will be offering a feedback feature allowing USERS to see what others are saying about the buying and selling practices of each other. In the meantime please contact us with any feedback you feel will help in keeping our site fair and equitable.
   
   When a seller lists a piece of equipment on the TruckerToTrucker web site, the seller is stating that all statements on the listing form are true. By printing a copy of the listing form for the listing you are purchasing, you will have all the statements made by the seller on paper. This could be a valuable tool if the equipment is not in the shape it was stated to be. Please read our terms of use.
   
   
7. Please No Web Site Addresses in your descriptions. Only 1 truck or trailer per ad. Parts can be advertised per lot if sold per lot. For example, 12 aluminum rims for $2,000, not $250 per rim. TruckerToTrucker reserves the right to discontinue any ad for non-conforming practices. If we work together we will never have to raise our super low price of $19.95.
