it doesnt say where they are located, so 90 percent of people will be let down when told they are in the wrong state  @.@  lol\

and then it says it can save you a few hundred dollars by having it/the machine inspected, (but you lose the savings when u pay out the $150.lol)  @.@

seems like a good idea but its too expensive at $150. something like $80 bucks would be more realistic.

Yep, I agree, good for interstate buyers and anyone not sure of what they should be looking for. $150 is expensive but not as expensive as paying to much and then shelling out more of your hard earned on repairs, replacement parts and not to mention your own time.

Very suspect.

What if there is a dispute over the condition once it arrives at the buyer's house ?
What if you don't proceed with the sale ?

I'm always cynical with these ideas. I've never hard of one that works. If the tech is so good, why isn't he named "Our inspection technician has over 20 years in the industry" ? .. ..

Yes I agree, to many holes in the whole deal. In a perfect world and alls Legit, then I think $150 insurance against getting ripped off would be a good thing. The fact that AP members would check out machines for free is even better. At the end of the day there's no Guaranty that the guy your paying 150 bucks to isn't the same dodgy bloke selling you the machine.
 Machine #2 will be whole lot better researched by this little black duck.

Sounds like a pretty good way to make some quick cash - even if the inspection took 2 hours including travel they would be making $75 an hour.

If they truly are experienced it would be worth it, but I guess it is a bit like a building inspector - the one other people recommend is the one you trust.

had a think about this one... if the inspection costs $150, what do the repairs cost  ?  double, or triple.

we are a trusting lot we are... %.% %.%

(would we change our minds if a hot 25 yr old beautiful babe turned up wearing a 2 piece bikini with a very nice top and bottom end !)  && &&
and then five minutes later, she calls her girlfriends for re-inforcements to give us all a hand. ahhhh yes, I knew I could get u guys to think the $150 was cheap.lol  %.% %.% %.% %.%
