Practical advice for buying used machinery safely. For the general process, see how it works.
Read the listing description fully, including any category-specific details (year, hours used, brand, condition). Check the photos for visible wear, rust, or damage that isn't mentioned in the text — a mismatch between photos and description is worth asking about directly.
Check the seller's profile: how long they've been on remeki, their rating from past buyers, and whether they have a verified badge. None of these guarantee a good deal, but a brand-new account with no history selling a very-below-market listing is worth extra caution.
For any powered machinery, ask to see it started and run, not just look at it parked. Check for leaks (hydraulic, oil, coolant), unusual noise or vibration, and whether all the attachments/accessories described in the listing are actually present. For tractors and construction equipment specifically, check tyre/track condition and hour-meter plausibility against the stated usage.
Bring someone with relevant technical knowledge if you don't have it yourself — for a purchase this size, an hour of a mechanic's time is cheap insurance.
If you encounter any of these, use the "Report this ad" link on the listing — it helps keep the marketplace safe for everyone.
remeki doesn't process payment for machinery — agree the price and payment method directly with the seller, and only pay after you've inspected the item and are satisfied. For any deal of real value, meeting during daylight hours at the equipment's actual location (not a random meeting point) is the safest arrangement.
Chat with sellers is free and unlimited for every buyer. Premium membership (₹299 / 30 days) unlocks seller phone numbers across every listing for buyers who'd rather call directly — new signups are currently paused, but existing members keep their access until it expires.
