Buy the tile saw, use it, sell it on

Hiring heavy kit by the day adds up fast over a renovation that drags on. A sensible alternative is to buy a solid used machine on willhaben, use it for the job, and list it again when you are done. Bought at a fair price, a good rotary hammer or wet tile saw often resells for close to what you paid.

The trick is buying well, and that means seeing the fair offers early. A renovator has a full day, so a digest you open at lunch or after work fits better than a chat that pings while you are on a ladder.

Three-phase power, weight and a trailer

Larger machines such as floor grinders, table saws and big compressors may run on three-phase current. Ask the seller before you drive out and check that your site supply can handle it. Ask about weight and size too, because some machines need two people, a ramp and a trailer.

Factor that into the price. A cheap machine is no bargain if collecting it costs a day and a van.

One folder per machine, a price sense for free

Emails stay where you put them. Set a filter that files each search into its own folder, and within a few weeks you can see what a Fliesenschneider or a Bohrhammer really sells for across Austria, new-looking or worn, with or without its case. Search that folder by model and you know whether the next ad is a deal.

That knowledge is what lets you reply first with confidence instead of hesitating while someone else books the pickup.

Testing a used machine before you hand over cash

Ask for a photo of the rating plate and, ideally, the receipt; a heap of new professional tools at very low prices with no paperwork can be stolen goods. At the pickup, plug it in and run it under load, listen to the bearings, check the cable, the blade or bit holder and the safety guards.

Pay once you are satisfied, face to face. Do not send money in advance to someone you have never met, whatever the excuse for not meeting.

Inbox rules, addresses and how often we look

Email comes with every plan: one address on Free and Starter, up to three on Pro, so a builder or partner can get the same digest. Free checks one search every 30 minutes, Starter at $5.99 checks five searches every 10 minutes, Pro at $14.99 covers twenty searches with the fastest checks.

Whether a mail is filtered as spam is your provider’s call. After the first match, look in the spam folder, mark the mail as wanted and save the sender as a contact. willhaben’s own Suchagent can keep running next to this.
