WHY YOU NEED A BUYING AGENT IN UNITED STATES

The manufacturer may not always be the place to get the best prices.

New products, as well as used are frequently available as a result of:

1. dissolution of a corporation which is storing new equipment

2. bankruptcy reorganization under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws

( a debtor in possession negotiating settlement)

3. auction of equipment to settle unpaid liens.

4. Over production

5. mislabeling, faulty packaging etc. which have no effect on the

quality of the contents.

6. Changes in plans the buyer had when buyer made the purchase.

Many American companies do not know how to export or have no experience

with exporting. These companies sell their products to intermediaries

for a fraction of the price these intermediaries charge you. We can buy

for you at this "internal" price. Frequently we can arrange terms other than Letter of Credit payable on demand.

We understand that it is difficult for you to find the most reliable

suppliers in the United States, of the best quality goods at the much lower

prices available to Palms & Company, Inc. . For that you need the

buying agent services of our company.
