Six steps from your yard to the money
- 01

The nameplate, the cabinet interior and the tank in daylight. Three photographs are usually enough to place a unit in the right class and the right price band.

Send them to us
The form on this page, a text or an email all reach the same desk. Include the city, the access and any deadline the site is working to.
- 03
Review the offer
A buyer reads the photographs, asks one or two questions and sends a written offer with the assumptions stated, so nothing changes on the day.
- 04
We schedule freight
Crane, flatbed and permits are booked around your access. You get a date and a window, and we carry the cost of getting it right.
- 05
Testing on arrival
Winding resistance, megger and turns ratio, plus oil analysis where the unit is liquid filled. The results decide the final number, and you see them.
- 06

Payment is released on the agreed terms once the unit is received and tested, by check or ACH. No retention, no sixty-day terms.

PCB paperwork

County
Auglaize County at a glance
Knowing which side of the meter a unit sits on decides who can actually sell it, and that is the first question we ask in Auglaize County. The difference between a good and a bad purchase is usually information rather than luck.
A site that has been photographed properly can be quoted without a visit, and the visit is only a confirmation. A plant engineer who knows the fault history is worth more than a file of invoices.
What the county holds
A dry-type with dust on the windings has been in a room nobody cleaned, and the dust holds moisture. Phase loss damage is often confined to one winding, which makes the unit a rebuild candidate rather than scrap.
A reactor looks like a transformer and behaves like an inductor, which confuses sellers who read the kVA. A station service transformer is unglamorous, critical and usually much older than the station it serves.
Auglaize County has four municipal electric systems inside one county line, which makes ownership the first question on almost every unit.
Towns we cover inside Auglaize County include Wapakoneta, St. Marys, Minster, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Auglaize County
Most Auglaize County sites have a gate wide enough for a step deck, and the ones that do not get a smaller trailer. A deduction agreed before the lift is a negotiation, and a deduction after it is an argument.
A site with two gates is a site with options, and options are what a rigging plan needs. A flat county with wide roads makes a heavy move routine, and that is reflected in what a buyer can pay.
What we look for
A buyer's first question is about the rating and the second is about the access, in that order. A buyer who explains the reasoning gets a second call, and the second call is where the good units are.
A buying desk earns its keep by answering quickly, because a seller with a unit in the way is not looking for a relationship. A seller should be able to tell, from one phone call, whether the buyer has done this before.
What a unit in Auglaize County is worth
Sellers in Auglaize County usually have one unit and one deadline, and the useful conversation is about the deadline. A rare rating in good condition still has a small market, and a small market moves slowly.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Auglaize County?
If the building changes hands at the end of the month, say so at the start and the schedule gets built backwards from that date. Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Auglaize County sits inside the regular loop. A seller who mentions the deadline in the first sentence gets a schedule rather than a queue.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Auglaize County?
You are paid when the unit leaves the pad, not thirty days after it arrives somewhere else. If the unit sits behind a AEP Ohio meter, the utility owns the transformer on the pole and the customer owns what is inside the fence. A transformer is a boring asset until the day it fails, and then it is the only thing anyone discusses.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Auglaize County?
The only thing that changes a quote afterwards is something the photographs did not show, which is why we ask early. If a trailer cannot get within reach, the unit gets moved twice, and the second move is the expensive one. A seller should keep the photographs after the sale, because the next buyer will ask for the same ones.
