Mid-State Equipment Brokers — Verification Report

Verdict: CAUTION — trust score 54/100 — last checked Sep 29, 2026. 3.6★ average from 2 buyer reports.

Web-first brokerage advertising machines "located nationwide" from an Orlando business address. Our checks could not connect the advertised units to a physical yard under the broker's control, and the listed address resolves to a shared office suite. Not an accusation of wrongdoing — but a buyer cannot verify the machine before wiring, which is exactly the risk our checks exist to flag.

  • Location: Orlando, FL (web-only)

The five checks

  • Registered legal entity — Verified. A matching Florida registration exists and is active.
  • Physical yard verified — Could not verify. Listed address resolves to a shared office suite, not an equipment yard. Advertised units are 'at partner locations' we could not independently confirm.
  • Phone line answered — Could not verify. Calls reached voicemail on two of three attempts; callback came from a mobile number.
  • Published inventory & pricing — Could not verify. Listings reuse photography that appears on other sellers' listings. Prices quoted only after a contact form.
  • Written buyer protection — Could not verify. No written return terms published. Deposit requested before inspection could be arranged.

What buyers say

Deal fine in the end, process murky — 3★

Machine eventually delivered as promised, but it shipped from a yard two states away I was never told about, and the deposit-first process made me sweat. Wouldn't repeat it.
