Start A Consignment With Aaron
- Describe the Equipment for Sale - Provide us with a full written description of the machinery you have for sale.

The more we know, the more we can pass on to interested prospects.
- Take Photos of the Equipment - They say a photograph is worth a 1,000 words, so the more the better. Take several photos from different angles and be sure to highlight any individual aspects that may provide insight to the machinery.
- Take Videos of the Equipment - If you can, take a video of the machinery in operation for best impact. If not, provide a video of a walk around of the equipment in stand-still mode. (Aaron may be available to do the description writing and take photos & Videos, but will charge a cost for this service.)
