Question: What happens when I submit my props to be listed for sale on your site?
Answer:
We will receive a notification as soon as you click the SUBMIT button. Within a day or two, you will be contacted to let you know we have received your submission and let you know if we have any additional questions or comments. We will then research our PROPS WANTED list to see if there is already an interested buyer who is looking for pops that match your specifications. If not, we will add your prop(s) to our database and they will immediately appear online in our listings. We will notify you via email with the assigned prop numbers and a link to your prop listing.
 
Question: What happens when you find a buyer who is interested in purchasing the props we've listed?
Answer:
We will contact you via phone (and additionally by email if necessary) to discuss the potential sale and agree on an offer price. You the seller have the final say in the selling price. We will contact the potential buyer and work with both the buyer and seller to complete the sale.

 

Question: How do you make your money? Do you charge a sales commission?
Answer:
Typically, we will try to make an average of 5% to 10% on the sale. Based on the circumstances and the propellers involved, this will sometimes be less and sometimes more. Again, the price you agree to sell at will include any sales commissions we might receive on the sale.

 

Question: How does the transaction actually take place?
Answer:
Once the seller and buyer have agreed on a price, we will purchase the props from the seller and arrange for payment from the buyer. We will also arrange for pickup, delivery, or arrange for shipping. The seller might be required to band the prop(s) to a pallet if they are not crated. If the props are 26" in diameter or less,  we will arrange for UPS shipping and the seller will be emailed a shipping label. The seller must provide adequate shipping boxes with sufficient packing material to avoid damage in shipping.  If UPS will not ship in seller's boxes and UPS boxes the props, the seller will be responsible for any charges. We will also handle collection of any  applicable sales tax due on the sale from the buyer.

 

Question: What should I do if I sell my props on my own?
Answer:
 Simply  go to our web site and click on the CONTACT US link and let us know who you are and that you no longer want your props to be listed. Please include the prop number(s) so we can easily remove the listing.
 
Question: I own a prop shop and I have several props that I want to list on the site. Do I have to submit the form for each prop?
Answer:
 No - we have a special program for businesses that have numerous props that they wish to list. Contact us at 1-800-672-9230 or email us at service@samsmarine.com  and we will contact you.
