Equipment & Parts Condition Scale (ECS)

The Equipment Condition Scale, which has been adopted by ProcessEquipmentLocator.com (PEL), is a new way to explain the approximate condition of processing equipment, machinery or parts that are listed in our database. Let's face it, my NEW might be nothing like your NEW, and more importantly my USED might not even be in the same ballpark as your USED. We hope that this will bring fairness, and a better understanding of the condition of the processing equipment you are purchasing or selling through PEL. Detailed information and honesty between the buyer and seller is strongly recommended so that both parties are satisfied with a good transaction.
