Once you win an auction bid, it is crucial that you understand how the seller collects payment. Many sellers accept wire transfer or online payment services as payment collection methods while some require proof of payment before permitting customers to collect their purchases. Some sellers also allow in-house financing or work with lenders who specialize in heavy equipment financing arrangements – this option may prove especially advantageous for buyers unable to cover full purchase prices for equipment purchases.
