Get the machine repaired if it’s not in order:-
Getting the old machine repaired becomes your priority, because as long as the equipment is not in good order, there is no point in listing it online. People who would be interested to buy the item would like to take a trial first and if they find anything wrong with it, they may just turn off the deal. In this way, you lose a prospect. Therefore, it is prudent to seek the service of an expert mechanic and get the machine checked. If it is necessary to replace few defective parts, you should do it without a thought. List the item only when the expert tells you that the machine is in great shape and can be used in the site.
Get hold of a good site that deals with selling of old machines:-
It is important to know a site that deals with selling old heavy equipment. That will be the site where you can list your machine and expect people to come and see them. It is very crucial that you list the item after giving all the information that you can.

If they do not see much on the listing, they may quickly move on to the next item posted by some other seller.
Put sufficient pictures of your machine:-
Sufficient pictures of your machine will always work positively in the minds of the prospect. It becomes very hard for someone to make a judgment just by going through the description. They would also want to see few pictures that will give them some idea about the machine. Please ensure that you paint the machine well before you take the picture.
