A used shear at the right price is legitimate, and the inspection is what makes it legitimate rather than hopeful. Eight points, cheapest disqualifiers first.
At flagship scale the contract becomes a project document. The term sheet, written from the factory side so the buyer knows what is reasonable.
Importing a heavy machine is a logistics exercise with a machine attached. The sequence, the two tracks, and the timeline honestly stated.
Not a tour — an inspection with a list. What to look at in each area of a shear factory, and which questions to ask while standing there.
Buying a heavy machine from another continent means buying a factory as much as a machine. The six verifications, none requiring a visit.

Nobody publishes shear prices, and the number is the last thing a factory can give you. The six inputs, and the budget range you can compute yourself.
A quotation is a specification document wearing a commercial costume. The contents page of a proper one, section by section.
