Who We Are & What We Do

 

The History

When I was a very small boy I went to my first car boot sale with my dad. We bought a girl's bicycle and we spent hours in the garage scrubbing this bike, fixing the flat tyres and generally making it look as close to new as possible. We sold it on within a week through a local paper and I was hooked. We carried on and grew the process as we moved from old knackers at boot sales to almost new items at auctions and in trade magazines.

 

After bikes we dabbled in laptops, televisions and various other products that have come up in auctions, magazines, online or simply through friends keen to move them on with minimum fuss. Since I was a child there has rarely been a time when I haven't been active in this industry.

Money4Machines – What We Do

If you need cash quickly and don't want the uncertainty and risk that goes with using auction sites or advertising online or in papers, we are here to offer a fast, hassle free and cash rich solution.

 

Put in basic terms we work like this: when you get in touch with something to sell us, we will make an immediate cash offer to you if the item is on our database (if not, we will simply request a little more information and get back to you within 5 working hours). If you choose to accept the offer you can either send you an addressed padded envelope -  or If it's really big you can just send it in yourself. We will then pay you as soon as the item is tested (standard turnaround is within 48 hours of receipt). We can either send cash via bank transfer or cheque.

 

You log in, we make an offer and if it's acceptable, you post and we pay you. It's as simple as that. You don't have to wait for an auction to finish or shoulder any of the risk of someone not paying you. There are no fees and you don't require historic feedback to sell to us. If you have any questions or issues you will be dealt with by a professional who will do all they can to help.

 

As most people are curious as to what happens once we've bought the item we feel some explanation is required. We are very reluctant to use the term 'recycle'. We hear this used across many sites and although it may be technically correct, to us it conjures the image of goods being melted down and made into new age soap holders or something else equally as environmentally friendly, which isn't what we do and isn't actually what our competitors are doing on almost all occasions.

 

We will use one of a selection of online and physical stores that we are affiliated with to find the item a new loving home. The reason we only take working machines in good condition is because we feel there are professional groups infinitely times more qualified in waste management who are far more suited to dealing with faulty goods that need to be broken down and 'properly' recycled.

Our Promise

We're very proud of what we do at Money4Machines and I take immense personal satisfaction from the company. If you have any issues at all, I am happy for you to email me directly at pete@money4machines.co.uk. If email is too impersonal then include your phone number and I'll give you a call. I am happy to stand behind our company 100% and hope that our testimonials page and any customer feedback you hear tells the same story – if not I genuinely would like to hear from you.
