What the buyer reports

According to the buyer's account filed with this publication, they paid the full $32,500 asking price by bank wire to purchase Stock #TRM032 and the seller did not deliver the machine. The buyer's report says the payment was sent by bank wire and that no unit was received after the transfer.

All of the above is as stated by the seller on the site and as described by the buyer in their report. There are no independent records in our file that confirm the machine changed hands or that it was shipped or delivered.

Checking a Stock #TRM032 before you pay

This listing identifies the item only by stock number rather than make or model. For any used equipment purchase that lacks clear machine identification take these steps before sending funds:

  • Demand a precise machine description. Obtain the make, model and serial number or PIN and compare that number to the serial plate visible on the machine. On most large machines the serial plate is on the main frame, near the engine or on the dash; ask the seller to photograph the plate close up and at an angle that shows both the plate and surrounding structure so it is clearly the same unit as the advertised photos.
  • Match photos to the serial plate and to distinguishing features. Ask for multiple, dated photos from different angles including the cab, engine bay, hour meter and any known damage or aftermarket work so you can confirm the advertised hours and condition correspond to visible wear.
  • Verify ownership and title. Ask for a signed bill of sale that names both buyer and seller, and request a clear title if the machine requires one. The bill should name the machine by serial number and the parties involved so a title search or transfer can be completed.
  • Contact an authorized dealer for the brand. A dealer can check the PIN against manufacturer records for warranty and service history where available and advise where the factory serial plate should be located on that model.
  • Search lien and filing records. Check UCC lien filings and other secured-party records in the jurisdiction the seller uses for its business address to see whether the machine is encumbered. A local county or state filing clerk can advise how to search their records.
  • Run stolen-equipment checks. Search national and regional stolen equipment registries and provide the serial number to those services so they can confirm whether the unit has been reported stolen.
  • Insist on in-person inspection or independent inspection. If you cannot see the machine yourself, hire a reputable local inspector to confirm the serial number, condition and operation and to verify the seller’s possession of the unit.
  • Verify the business location and contact. Confirm the seller's published phone reaches a working sales line and that the postal address is a legitimate business location rather than a mailbox or residential address.

If a seller refuses to provide serial numbers, verifiable photos or an independent inspection, treat that refusal as a reason to pause the transaction.

How the payment was taken

According to the buyer's account, payment was made by bank wire. A bank wire transfers funds directly between accounts and does not provide the buyer a card network chargeback mechanism. If funds were sent to an account controlled by the seller, recovery options are limited and depend on the receiving bank's willingness and the speed of a recall attempt.

What we have and have not verified

We have verified the following from public records and the materials the seller published on the site: the listing text for Stock #TRM032, the published contact details of VonLutz Equipment, the asking price of $32,500, and the domain registration date of 2026-10-13 with a privacy-protected registrant and Cloudflare nameservers.

Open checks still required to corroborate the listing and the buyer's report include: confirmation that a machine with the serial number matching Stock #TRM032 exists and was in the seller's possession; confirmation that the published postal address is an operational heavy-equipment business location; verification of the receiving bank account used for the wire; results of any trace or recall attempt from the buyer's bank; and whether the seller provided a bill of sale or title documents tied to a serial number. We have not confirmed shipment, delivery, or transfer of ownership for Stock #TRM032.

This entry will be updated if those checks produce verifiable records.
