Q: How do I list equipment?

A: To post a new ad to ForestryEquipmentSales.com, you must first be a registered user. Registration is very easy, just click on the "My Account" on the left menu and click "Create Account". Input all the information the form asks for. Although your e-mail address is required to post an ad, it is not revealed to anyone unless you reply to an inquiry on your equipment. Be sure that you use a working e-mail address. If you provide a bad e-mail address you will not be able to receive replies from interested parties. Also, make sure to test your ad by sending a reply to yourself after placing your ad. This will ensure that emails from our site are not blocked by your spam filter. After you complete the registration form you will be prompted to login. After you login click on the "Add Listing" link in the top menu. You will then select a category to list your machinery in and hit Continue. Next, you will fill out the details about your equipment. Required fields will be bolded. Next you will be prompted to make payment for your ad. Payment is currently accepted via Visa & MasterCard. 

Q: Can I Include Photos in My Ad?

A: You can include up to 6 photos of your equipment at no extra charge. The image must be in the .jpg or .gif format (.jpg is the preferred format for pictures), and have a file size no larger than 1 MB (1000 KB). Photo ads have a much higher view rate than ads without photos, so please try to provide at least one picture of your equipment. 

Q: How do I upload a photo after I have already placed a listing?

A: Click on “My Account" in the left menu, then make sure you are in "My listings". Select the ad you want to add images too by clicking on the title of the ad. You will then be presented with the ability to edit all aspects of the ad, including which images you want to use/ad. 

Q: How Much Does An Ad Cost?

A: Ads start at $39.95 (29.95 renewal) for 30 days. 90, 180, & 365 day options are also available, see our rates here. All ads include posting of up to 6 photographs of your equipment and all ads will stay listed for 30 days from posting date, until sold, or until you remove the ad. If you are an equipment dealer, you may be interested in our Dealer Program which offers savings on multiple equipment ads. There are no hidden costs or commissions to be paid after selling your equipment. 

Q: How Long Will My Ad Run?

A: All ads will run for either 30, 90, 180, or 365 days from the date of posting, depending on which package you sign up for. Please remove your ad after your equipment has been sold, as it will help keep this site up to date, and reduce unnecessary phone calls to you.

A: ForestryEquipmentSales.com uses a blind email reply system for people who are replying to your ad. This is done through the “Mail Seller” link.
