    Anyone sold or purchased a plane via this auction company? Or even heard of it?

    https://www.promarketconnections.com/
    https://www.pmcauctions.com/

    I was contacted by them with an offer that they would help me sell my plane, that they had interested buyers lined up with cash to spend, and they likely could sell it for quite a bit above what I was looking for.

    Sounds sketchy.

    Experiences? Reviews?

    I would stay away for one simple reason....the category for selling aircraft is labeled "Aircrafts"

    I have no clue if they are legitimate. Even if they are, they have so many different niches they are supposedly selling in that I don't know if you could realistically expect them to be good at selling airplanes, too.

    Sounds like the same type of people who call/ text me every week wanting to sell my house ...........

    Meh. It's a double plural. Much like fish/fish/fishes.

    Although it sounds weird, and we here typically don't use it, I could see a case for multiple aircraft of different variety using the double plural "aircrafts."

    Probably more "slick" than sketchy. They don't have buyers lined up and they won't get more than the market will bear. But they will take a cut when they sell your stuff.

    That's why I mentioned the "popular price" that they like. IIRC that was an old Benny Hill joke ... :)
