March Column
Firetec Promise: Firetec has been hired by fire departments (and sometimes dealers) to sell every unit we present to you. We never sell a truck without permission from the owner up front! Be Wary of Fire Truck Poachers! Many "broker" websites advertise trucks which have been copied from fire department websites, and the site owners have no rights to advertise and sell them. These discount brokers (site owners) wait for a buyer to call and then do fast footwork with the selling department in an effort to get in the middle of the deal. Sometimes they offer sellers a "deal" on commission fees, but advertise trucks without prices, so the sellers never know how much money is received for their unit! With Firetec, buyers pay the owner (you!) directly so there are no mysteries. Another complaint we are hearing from our customers is that units offered through new "discounted brokerages," have an added "buyer's fee" tacked on--- this is an extra fee your buyer is charged to purchase your truck! We do not agree with this practice. When you buy or list through Firetec, there are no games. Honest sellers talking with honest buyers - Firetec makes the connection. We have printed the above statement in this newsletter before. Keep reading: Can you sell your used fire truck via online auction: maybe Can you get fair market value? not likely Contact Firetec to sell your truck directly to a fire department for a price that's fair to both parties. Auction buyers tend to be dealers who make a huge profit on your apparatus. Click here to see the story in firegeezer.com. In the Firetec Mailbox:"Working with Firetec has been extremely easy. Their marketing effort was excellent and made the difference for this sale. We will definitely use Firetec again."
