New e-marketplace for unused parts and machinery

[Mark]

Manchester firm launches e-marketplace for unused parts and machinery:
https://www.businessgrowthhub.com/manuf ... -machinery
https://marketplace.machinecompare.com/

Thousands of mechanical and electrical spare parts....
Got to be a good idea - suspect this business will do well....

Limited range and looks very expensive.
Nearly £50 for a very common type of fluorescent lamp ballast ! Several sellers on fleabay have these for about £10 including delivery.
I have purchased them for well under £10.

I have seen loads of stuff on ebay for knock down prices and nearly all come from China. Given my experience with Chinese stuff of late I would be quite happy to pay for a part that was "Made in Britain" or anywhere else!

Perhaps China selling duff engineering parts and equipment is part of a war to bring the West down. When they have sufficient market intrusion they could invade knowing that most of the West's industry would fall apart within a few weeks due to mechanical breakdown of their Chinese built machinery.

Good feedback - maybe they struggle on price for the more common items ?
What I found interesting is that they provide an easy outlet for companies to sell surplus stocks - better than sending it to the skip...
