Do You Preview?

"A Preview is simply the next best thing to being in the field yourself."

A preview is an independent verification of equipment by a third-party. When you use ironmarket, we send our independent agents to take photos, videos and verify equipment details. Then you can use our platform of services to buy, sell and manage your equipment or have someone do it for you. With ironmarket you are in control.

The ironmarket shield is a symbol of trust bridging buyers and sellers. You can be confident that any piece of equipment which displays the shield has been verified by one of our independent third party agents. All agents are trained in the methodology of collecting equipment specific information. A preview doesn't classify equipment as good or bad. At ironmarket we remain unbiased and objective in our observation of equipment assets. We capture the data, the photos and videos and you get to make the decision. Look for the shield the next time you want to buy or sell equipment assets.

Preview agents operate on ironmarket's business network allowing participants to access their equipment information online anywhere the web is available. Data collected is typically available to be reviewed within twenty-four (24) hours, providing consumers with an efficient manner of accessing and sharing specific equipment information.
