Do you need the machine's paperwork?
It helps. The serial number and hour reading are essential and we can take those from the machine. Service records, inspection certificates and the original invoice add value and speed up the finance check. A machine sold without any history still sells, but buyers bid more cautiously and the price reflects it.
