THE GOAL

A potential buyer.
A useful introduction.

SITTING UNUSED?

Let’s find who could use it next.

LET’S TALK.

Your location

Make room.
Make a connection.

An idle machine. Surplus from an upgrade. Something you’re ready to part with. We review each item and see whether we can help.

Every item starts with a fit check. We research potential buyers; we don’t guarantee a sale or buy your item ourselves.

Simple on purpose

Looking to buy instead?
We’ll help find a buyer.

01

Show us what you have.

Share the item, condition, location, and asking price. Attach photos to your email so we can understand what you have.

02

We research the fit.

We review the item and look for relevant potential buyers. If there’s a promising match, we discuss the next step with you.

03

Connect with a buyer.

With your permission, we coordinate an introduction. You and the buyer agree on inspection, price, payment, and collection.

NO SURPRISES

Inquiries are free. Any fee you would pay is agreed in writing before work carrying a fee begins. If a buyer pays us a referral fee, we disclose it before the introduction.

Meet your connection

Your item.
A real person on it.

I’m Gavin Rich, the founder of Midwest Connects. I’m based in Indiana, and I’m building a straightforward service: help owners understand their options, research potential buyers, and make useful introductions.

You’ll talk with me directly. I’ll ask permission before sharing your contact details and tell you if an item isn’t a fit.

Good questions

Before we
connect.

Can you guarantee a buyer?

No. We review each item and research potential buyers, but we can’t promise a sale, a price, or a timeline. Regulated goods and items outside our capabilities may be declined.

Do you buy my item or handle shipping?

We’re an independent introduction service. We don’t purchase or take possession of your item. You and the buyer agree on inspection, payment, and transport directly.

What does it cost?

An initial inquiry is free. Any seller-paid fee and its payment conditions are agreed in writing before work carrying a fee starts. If a buyer pays us a referral fee, we disclose that before an introduction.

Does my item need to be off-market?

Some equipment buyers only consider items that aren’t publicly advertised or already with a dealer or auctioneer. Tell us the current situation honestly so we can check the fit. Removing an existing listing does not make it a new, unadvertised opportunity.
