How Gulf Machinery Exchange works

List in minutes

Snap photos on your phone. AI identifies the machine, drafts the condition report and gives a market estimate. Add the serial number, hours and what you would take in trade.

Pick a sale format

Timed auction with an optional reserve, a fixed buy-now price, or make-offer with cash and trade proposals. Change it any time before a buyer commits.

Commit, get paid

When a buyer and you both commit, contact details are revealed, escrow is funded, transport is arranged, and funds are released after delivery. The success fee comes out at closing; there is no listing fee.

Search and watch

Browse by category, format or location. Save a search and we notify you when a matching machine is listed.

Bid, buy or offer

Bid in timed auctions (5-minute extensions stop sniping), buy now, or send a cash or trade offer. Your alias is all the seller sees.

Close with protection

Fund escrow, book transport from carrier quotes, and inspect on delivery. The 48-hour As-Described Guarantee and optional protection plans cover you after the machine arrives.

Sellers pay a success fee only when a machine sells, from 5.0% on large deals to 10.0% on small ones, with discounts for repeat sellers. Buyers pay 1.5% capped at $1,500. Full fee schedule.
