Most listings show prices excluding VAT - check individual adverts for tax details before finalising transactions with sellers.
Can I sell used equipment on this platform?
Yes, we accept listings for new and second-hand marquees and event equipment. Use our online form to submit your advert with clear descriptions and pricing.
Do you deliver purchased items?
Delivery arrangements are between buyers and sellers. We recommend discussing logistics directly with sellers during purchase negotiations.
Are there payment plans available?
Financing options depend on individual sellers. Contact listed providers directly to inquire about instalment plans or leasing possibilities.
