My company places used, demo & repo equipment. I deal with every supplier in my area and have agreements in place with them to get servicing, installation and even service contracts in place. If you are looking to buy something that is a roll of the dice that you can get ultra cheap, sometimes I can even tell people where to go and pick up machines for parts. As Rick said above, don't expect these to be shut down properly. I have also watched machines go at auction for full pricing as well. It can be a crap shoot. If you have a good distributor in your area you should be able to get an honest opinion based on your relationship that is not clouded by a desire for them to make a quick sale. They quite often know the machine you will be asking about. I personally try not to ever sell anything that cannot be serviced or that you cannot obtain a service contract on.
