COVID-19 Pushes Construction Equipment Buyers and Sellers Online

8/26/2020

 
Online equipment buying has seen a surge in activity over the past several months as COVID-19 accelerated an already existing trend to online marketplaces. Since the start of the pandemic, global commerce leader eBay has seen a steady increase in the number of visits and new buyers to the site as contractors and other essential workers sought the necessary tools and equipment to continue their work.

“We’ve seen that buyers are becoming more comfortable with purchasing equipment online, a trend that was already growing in popularity prior to the pandemic,” says Nick Stalcup, head of heavy equipment, parts and attachments, eBay. “During these unprecedented times, many equipment auction sites have had to shut down their in-person operations in order to navigate the challenges presented by limited interpersonal contact, travel and other precautions. The pandemic has forced buyers away from traditional ways of acquiring equipment, such as live auctions, introducing them to online marketplaces like eBay, where they can fulfill their equipment needs from the comfort and safety of any location.”  Click here to read entire article.

Well, it is true that the pandemic has shifted many buyers and sellers to the online platform. However, I personally think that it is a good thing as it saves a lot of time and money to travel just to see the product and make the deal finalised. Although, it is mandatory for the seller and buyers to keep the good behaviour on top and try not to bring any cheat and odd activity on board.
