Does BuyMyAsphalt Sell Used Asphalt Equipment?

BuyMyAsphalt is not a dealer of any kind. We do not purchase equipment then re-sell the used asphalt equipment. The purpose of BuyMyAsphalt is for a private seller (or a dealer) to have the ability to post a piece of used asphalt equipment on this site and have the entire transaction done between the buyer and seller.

What kind of fraud and money scams should I watch out for?

The following common-sense rules are good to follow to avoid would-be scammers:

  • If possible, DEAL LOCALLY with someone you can meet in person - This one rule will probably curb 99% of all fraudulent scams.
  • NEVER give someone any kind of financial information whether it is a bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal login info, etc.
  • If a seller offers deals involving shipping or escrow services, stay away from them. Also, keep in mind that only a scammer will "GUARANTEE" your transaction.

Are the posts legitimate?

Yes, the majority of the posts should be legitimate. The reason we say should is because like anywhere else, you might run into a dishonest seller. If you run into a post that you suspect to be fake, please Contact Us so we can investigate the post further.
