• ‍The website

Always pay attention to the website on which you will find the ad, especially when selling between individuals. Favour websites of certified companies or websites specialized in ads in the public works sector.

• ‍The price

As seen above, even for a mini excavator in bad condition, the amount to invest will be at least 4000 €. Except in very exceptional cases, if you come across an ad promising you a new one for less, run away!

• ‍The method of payment

Scams are mainly about payment and not about the quality of the machine. Indeed, the pictures chosen by the scammers often show machines in very good condition. Beware of ads that require payment in cash only or via PCS coupons because the seller is abroad and cannot receive money directly. Some sellers will offer to pick up the machine's papers in person, via a carrier, and then test it. If you are not satisfied, they will offer you a refund but this will have little chance of success.
In any case, you should always be careful when selling second-hand machines between individuals!
