I would like a little guidance on working with a dealer to buy a machine without seeing it in person. People do it all the time right? It’s 12hrs away by car and work is busy and the world not travel friendly right now.
The “reseller”/broker/dealer whatever has been awesome but he doesn’t have a vested interest in my success.
We had a FaceTime call with the seller where he walked around the machine and showed it etc. The deal is good. Everything seems to be coming together easily. The machine is what it is. I feel ok extending a certain amount of trust to the seller regarding how he describes the condition. Its not really the machine I am worried about, it’s the other details.
What if I don’t get manuals like the seller said? What if a pc of sheetmetal was left back? What if it’s damaged between there and here? I am paying the dealer for machine+rigging+delivery if that matters. If I pay him and he pays seller, what’s the recourse if something falls through on my end? What are the critical things to watch out for or make sure are in writing? Without getting all lawyer on them and turn into the pita customer that is too hard to work with.
Thanks
