How does Exapro work? Exapro puts sellers and buyers of industrial machines in contact. Its Agents screen requests, complete offers and arrange visits of used machinery. If and only if the sale is concluded a commission included in the price is paid by the seller. What are the costs of Exapro services? Exapro works with a system of commissions on sale which is paid by the seller once the equipments have been paid by the buyer. These commissions are based on the total price (10% down to 5%).
You can see more details in our Commercial Terms. What about my confidentiality? Exapro takes confidentiality very seriously and keeps all its members and users contact details in a secured industrial database (encryption with a TLS / SSL key). Sellers and buyers of machines are therefore both kept anonymous until an initial agreement is reached through Exapro’s intermediation and a visit organized. Why registering for free?

What is the difference between General newsletters and Specialized category newsletters?

How do I insert my machine offers for free? To add a machine that you want to sell on www.exapro.com, you need to register for free and add your machine from your account. If you have any difficulties doing so, please send us the details of the machine (manufacturer, type, year, technical info, price and some photos if available) on info@exapro.eu. How do I find the right category and subcategory? Exapro’s catalogue is organized in categories (main activity sector such as “Printing machines”) and subcategories (usually specific types of machines attached to the category). While finding the first one should be quite easy, the second one should be chosen carefully. Choosing the right subcategory:
What are the incoterms? The incoterms stand for International Commercial Terms and they rule the costs and risks of shipping including insurance and import taxes in an international business deal. While there are many incoterms, just a few are used in the trade of used machines. Main incoterms used by Exapro concerning used equipments: Exworks - The seller makes the goods available at its premises. While this usually does not include loading on truck, this can be discussed with the seller. LOC / LOT - standing respectively for Loaded on Container and Loaded on Truck. While these are not proper incoterms, they notify that the seller takes care of dismantling and loading on the truck or container sent by the buyer to the premises. Be careful to understand properly which shipping resources are needed for the specific types of machines (type of container or truck). FCA - standing for Free Carrier. The seller takes care of the loading and delivery to a specific location in the same country. This leaves some room for negotiation but it is usually understood as a place close to the seller’s location. FOB - standing for Free on Board. The seller has to bring the machine to the nearest major seaport and leave it at the shipping company (theoretically the ship). He also has to clear the machine for export. CIF - standing for Cost, Insurance and Freight. The seller takes care of shipping to the main destination port including transport insurance. DAP (ex DDU) - standing for Delivered at Place. The seller ships the machine all the way to the agreed location but does not take care of import clearance and unloading. When you do not know which incoterm to use, please leave the field as “----”. How can I add several offers on Exapro? If you have several offers to add, please send them to info@exapro.eu for us to help you do it (no charges). Give us as much info as possible for each as well as your complete contact details. How can I increase my chances of selling? In order to maximise your selling chances:
You need a right price to sell quick and well:
- installation ( 2000€ ) - machine's condition ( 3000€ ) - common type of the machine ( 3000€ ) + Loading included (500€) + tools (1000€) + maintenance book and manuals (200€ ) + easy terms of payment (ex: cashable check in 30 days) (+1000€) = 26 700€ Exapro's commission is automatically added for a final price of 29 700 €. The price is a main factor in the sale of your equipment. Do not hesitate to lower it to optimise the selling time.
