NETWORK INFORMATION ABOUT IMPACT ENTERPRISES

MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER HAS A SEARCH ENGINE YOU CAN USE TO SEARCH ANY WEB PAGE BY WORD. JUST CLICK EDIT, THEN CLICK "FIND (ON THIS PAGE)...", THEN ENTER THE WORD(S) TO SEARCH FOR.

26.9.1. THESE ARE SOME GENERAL STANDARDS WE TRY TO MEET WHEN DEVELOPING A LONG TERM GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST WITH ASSOCIATES AND CUSTOMERS.

1. TO TREAT OTHERS LIKE WE WANT TO BE TREATED. THE GOLDEN RULE. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. IF IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THEM IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ME AND I WILL HAVE LESS FOOD, SHELTER AND SECURITY. FREE PEOPLE PRODUCE MORE, KEEP MORE AND GIVE MORE.

2. TO PROTECT THE NAMES, LOCATIONS AND OTHER DETAILS ABOUT ALL THE BUYERS, SELLERS, AND AGENTS WE DEAL WITH. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NECESSARY FOR THE TRUST AND IN SOME CASES THE SAFETY OF CONTACTS IN AREAS WHERE RIGHTS ARE NOT QUITE DEVELOPED YET. WE CONSIDER ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU GIVE US CONFIDENTIAL UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED. ANY CONTACTS WE HAVE YOU TALK TO, OR WHO, WITH PRIOR APPROVAL CALL YOU, ARE CONFIDENTIAL. WE EACH CAN MAKE GENERAL COMMENTS TO PROMOTE MORE BUSINESS AND COOPERATION WITH OUR CONTACTS OR ASSOCIATES. WE ARE EACH RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ASSOCIATES WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION.

3. TO AVOID PAYING BRIBES, THOUGH, WE WILL MAKE COMMISSION PAYMENTS, JOINT VENTURE DISTRIBUTIONS, OUT OF COUNTRY AID IN INVESTMENT, CIVIC OR NATIONAL GOOD WORKS OR INVESTMENT IN PROPORTION TO BUSINESS TRANSACTED.

5. TO NOT DEAL IN TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION WITH PEOPLE WHO GIVE US REASON TO BELIEVE THEY INTEND TO JUMP; PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. THERE ARE LARGE NUMBERS OF TRUSTWORTHY BUSINESS PERSONS IN MOST COUNTRIES. THE BIGGER CORPORATIONS ARE ALREADY DEALING WITH THE VERY HIGH LEVEL OFTEN TAINTED PERSONS. IT IS SAFER, CHEAPER, AND BETTER PSYCHOLOGY TO DEAL WITH THE SECOND, THIRD AND LOWER LEVELS OF CONTACTS AT THIS TIME. THESE LEVELS AND THEIR CHILDREN WILL BE IN CHARGE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

6. TO DEVELOP A NETWORK THAT MAKES US; THE RESPECTED ONE CALL SOURCE; FOR MACHINERY, EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES AND SERVICES TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND ASSOCIATES WORLD WIDE. OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE BUSINESS IN EVERY COUNTRY OF THE WORLD AND WORLD WIDE IMPACT FOR GOOD. PRODUCTION IS IN THE SYSTEM.

7. TO PROTECT OUR INVESTMENT BY BEING INVOLVED IN SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT / SOCIETAL EVOLUTION THAT WILL REDUCE THE RELIANCE ON VIOLENCE TO AFFECT SOCIAL CHANGE. WE WILL WORK WITH BUSINESSES AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS TO SYNCHRONIZE AND MAGNIFY OUR MUTUAL EFFORTS. ONE 6 YEAR TERM LIMITS FOR ALL OUR REPRESENTATIVES AND OFFICIALS IS THE MOST EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WAY WE CAN EVOLVE THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY TO SOCIETAL INSTITUTIONS OF, BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE.

8. TO REMEMBER: THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL IS INFORMATION. THE BEST INVESTMENT IS IN PEOPLE. THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSONAL TRAIT IS MOTIVATION.

9. TO REMEMBER: WE NEVER LOSE. WE FIND WE CAN WORK WITH SOMEBODY OR WE FIND WE CANNOT. OUR GOAL IS TO TREAT EVERYONE WE COME IN CONTACT WITH, BETTER THAN THEY HAVE BEEN TREATED BY OTHERS AND ON AN EVER IMPROVING SCALE. IF WE FIND WE CAN WORK TOGETHER WE WILL PROBABLY BE FRIENDS FOR LIFE AND CAN HELP EACH OTHER TO REACH MUTUAL GOALS. IF WE FIND WE CANNOT WORK TOGETHER WE WILL NOT WASTE EACH OTHERS TIME. EITHER WAY THAT IS VALUABLE INFORMATION.

10. TO REMEMBER: IF WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO "DO IT RIGHT" WHEN WILL WE FIND TIME "TO DO IT OVER". CONTACTS AND ITEMS THAT ARE NEW TO US REQUIRE ABOUT SIX TIMES MORE TIME AND EFFORT TO HANDLE CORRECTLY UNTIL WE HAVE EXPERIENCE AND GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST ESTABLISHED.

11. WE WILL ATTEMPT TO COMPROMISE WITH ALL REASONABLE PERSONS. WE WILL ACCEPT BEING CONTROLLED BY NO ONE.

12. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT PREJUDICE FOR REASON OF GENDER, RACE, RELIGION OR HANDICAP. WE ARE OPEN TO ALL MOTIVATED PERSONS REGARDLESS OF THEIR SELF OR CIRCUMSTANCES.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

26.9.2. ONE OF OUR PLATEAU GOALS FOR EFFECTIVE OPERATIONS IN THE FUTURE IS TO REACH THE LEVEL OF SUSTAINING INCOME AND OUTGO WITH SIX MONTHS OF DILIGENT WORK. THE OTHER SIX MONTHS WE WILL INVEST IN OURSELVES TO EVER IMPROVE OUR ABILITY TO MAKE WISE VALUE JUDGMENTS, TO MAINTAIN OUR PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH AND VIGOR, TO INVEST IN PEOPLE BY GETTING TO KNOW ESTABLISHED ASSOCIATES BETTER WHILE ESTABLISHING NEW CONTACTS WORLD WIDE. THERE WILL BE A TEAM MANAGING THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS AROUND THE CLOCK EVERYDAY WORLDWIDE. PRODUCTION IS IN THE SYSTEM.

THIS SIX MONTHS A YEAR PLATEAU IS FOR EVERYONE. ANYONE WHO IS WORTH HAVING SHOULD HAVE THIS. BY DRAWING ON THE COMPLIMENTARY STRENGTHS OF EVERYONE AND MODIFYING THE WEAKNESSES OF EVERYONE WE CAN HAVE THE GREATEST GROWTH, FREEDOM AND PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT. WE WILL EFFECTIVELY REMOVE THE BUREAUCRATIC STAGNATION AND DISINCENTIVE TO PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT AND TEAM ACHIEVEMENT. OBJECTIVE CONSENSUS IS ONE OF THE THINGS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS DO RATHER POORLY AND WE WILL DO VERY WELL. WE ENDEAVOR TO SUCCEED UNIVERSALLY.

WE ESTIMATE IT WILL TAKE A MINIMUM OF ABOUT 5 YEARS TO CYCLE THE FIRST PEOPLE ONTO THIS PLATEAU. WE ANTICIPATE VARYING TRANSITIONAL STEPS TO THE GOAL. WE WILL HAVE WAYS THAT FINANCIALLY SECURE MORE ESTABLISHED ASSOCIATES WHO GO ON VACATION OR ENGAGE IN OTHER BUSINESS IN OTHER AREAS COULD BE HELPED BY OUR CONTACTS WHILE BUILDING MUTUAL RAPPORT EVEN NOW. THE BEST INVESTMENT IS IN PEOPLE.

COMMISSION OR PROFIT EARNED ON SALE: (*SPLIT OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMOUNT DUE OWNER AND AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM BUYER OF ITEMS OR SERVICES SOLD AFTER DEDUCTING EXPENSES LIKE REPAIRS, TRANSPORTATION, NECESSARY LABOR TO MAKE SALEABLE.)

THERE ARE ONLY 2 SIDES INVOLVED IN A SALE. THE SELLERS SIDE AND THE BUYERS SIDE SO THAT IS 50% TO EACH SIDE. NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE THERE ARE INVOLVED ON EACH SIDE THERE ARE ONLY 2 SIDES.

THE SIDE THAT HANDLES THE BILLING OR DOCUMENTS AND PAYMENT WILL GET AN EXTRA 10%. THAT IS 60, 40 SPLIT IF ONLY TWO ARE INVOLVED.

EXTRA EXPENSES INVOLVED IN THE SALE WILL COME OUT BEFORE THE SPLIT WITH RECORDS PROVIDED.

1. LISTER: 40%*: PERSON OR TEAM WHO PUTS ANOTHER PERSON'S ITEM OR SERVICE ON THE NETWORK LIST AND SHOWS IT TO POTENTIAL BUYERS FURNISHED BY THE NETWORK AND HELPS MAKE THE SALE.

2. SELLER: 40%*: PERSON OR TEAM WHO FINDS A BUYER AND AIDS IN THE ACTUAL SALE (MONEY CHANGES HANDS AND THE BUYER TAKES POSSESSION) OF ANY ITEM OR SERVICE LISTED.

3. NETWORK: 20%*: THE CENTRAL ORGANIZATION AT THE CENTRAL POINT THAT GETS THE VARIOUS PARTS TOGETHER: BUYERS, SELLERS, BROKERS, PERSONS SUPPLYING LEADS ON BUYERS, SELLERS, ITEMS, SERVICES, ADVERTISING, COMPUTER TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT OF HARDWARE AND SOFT WARE. THE CENTRAL NETWORK WILL ALSO DEVELOP GUIDE LINES FOR THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE VARIOUS CONTACTS AND ASSOCIATES IN THE GROWTH OF THE ENTERPRISE.

BY BUILDING LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER WITH GREATER EASE, SECURITY AND TRUST AND BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH THE BIGGEST COMPANIES. WE CAN SUPPLY ALMOST ANYTHING WORLD WIDE THROUGH OUR MUTUAL CONTACTS AND ASSOCIATES WITH WHOM WE BUILD A LONG TERM GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST.

4. LEAD SUPPLIER: 10%* OF THE SHARE RECEIVED BY THE LISTER, SELLER OR NETWORK PAID BY THE PERSON WHO USED THE LEAD TO LIST AN ITEM OR CONTACT THE BUYER. PAID ON THE FIRST SALE AND ON SUBSEQUENT SALES WITH THE SAME LISTER OR THE SAME BUYER FOR ONE YEAR FROM THE INITIAL CONTACT. WITH CONTINUED ACTIVITY BY THE LEAD SUPPLIER THE ONE YEAR PERIOD WILL BE RENEWED AN ADDITIONAL YEAR AT A TIME. THIS MORE FAIRLY COMPENSATES AND MOTIVATES A LEAD SUPPLIER TO SHARE CONTACTS. THE LISTER AND THE SELLER MIGHT AGREE TO A SHARE EQUALLY IN A HIGHER PERCENTAGE TO EXPERIENCED AND ESTABLISHED BROKERS WHO WE THINK CAN AID IN CLOSING THE SALE AND ARE WILLING TO FOLLOW AN AGREED UPON OPERATING PROCEDURE.

5. IF THERE ARE ONLY 2 SIDES INVOLVED, ONE THAT HAS CONNECTION WITH THE SELLER AND THE SECOND WITH THE CONNECTION WITH THE BUYER WE CAN SPLIT 50, 50.

6. THE SIDE THAT HANDLES THE BILLING OR DOCUMENTS AND PAYMENT WILL GET AN EXTRA 10%. THAT IS 60, 40 SPLIT IF ONLY TWO ARE INVOLVED AND 40, 20, 40 IF THREE ARE INVOLVED. IF THE NETWORK HANDLES THE BILLING, DOCUMENTS AND PAYMENT AND NETWORK IS NOT THE LISTER THE SPLIT IS 35, 30, 35 (SELLER SIDE, NETWORK, BUYER SIDE). THERE ARE OTHER POSSIBLE SPLITS. THIS IS A GOOD STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE. WE TRY TO KEEP OUR EYES ON THE DOUGHNUT AND NOT THE HOLE.

7. IN ALMOST ALL SALES PART OF THE COMMISSION INCOME WILL BE USED TO PAY FOR EXCEPTIONAL, ABOVE THE ORDINARY SERVICE TO THE SELLER AND THE BUYER AFTER THE SALE. FOR THE BUYERS SIDE IF WE CAN MAKE A BETTER COMMISSION WE CAN AFFORD TO GIVE EVEN MORE SERVICE AND FOLLOW UP THROUGH THE NETWORK ON THE CURRENT PURCHASE AND FUTURE PURCHASES. FOR ALL BUYERS WE HELP WITH FUTURE PARTS NEEDS WHENEVER POSSIBLE AND HELP EXPAND THEIR BUSINESSES AS WE GROW.

8 NEW BUSINESS HAS MORE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS BUT WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE WITH EVERYONE. SELLERS SOMETIMES CHANGE WHAT THEY WANT AND BUYERS SOMETIMES CHANGE WHAT THEY WANT. IF WE DO NOT MAKE THE SALE, ACCOMMODATING AS NECESSARY, WE DO NOT MAKE ANYTHING. THE NETWORK USUALLY HANDLES THE PAPER WORK AND PAYMENTS UNLESS THE BUYER WANTS DIFFERENT. PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND ABOVE AVERAGE ATTENTION TO DETAIL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE ON SATISFIED PARTIES. NOTHING MOVES UNLESS IT IS PAID FOR IN IRREVOCABLE FUNDS CLEARED IN THE SELLERS BANK OR APPROVED ESCROW SERVICE. WIRE TRANSFER IS THE BEST PAYMENT FORM IN THE 21^ST CENTURY.

26.16.4. THE DIGITAL CAMERAS ARE CHEAP ENOUGH WITH FAIRLY GOOD PICTURE QUALITY THAT THEY CAN SAVE A LOT OF TIME IN GETTING PICTURES TO THE WEB QUICKLY. AN OPTICAL ZOOM CAPABILITY IS VERY HELPFUL THOUGH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN JUST DIGITAL ZOOM. 10 GB RESOLUTION IS VERY NEAR PHOTO QUALITY AND 5 TO 10 GB IS USUALLY VERY SERVICEABLE FOR UNDER $100. . UPDATED 2009 05 12

IT TAKES OPTICAL ZOOM TO BE ABLE TO GET READABLE PICTURES OF DATA PLATES. THIS SAVES MUCH TIME AND POSSIBLE ERRORS COMPARED TO HAND WRITING THE INFORMATION.

SOME HIGH END DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERAS CAN PROBABLY DO MANY OF THESE PICTURE FUNCTIONS WITH GREATER STORAGE CAPABILITY.

26.16.5. HERE IS SOMETHING WE HAVE LEARNED THAT WILL SAVE ALL OF US TIME IN FINDING PARTS AND BUYERS. IN THIS DAY AND AGE PHOTO INFORMATION IS ABOUT 10 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS TEXT AND ABOUT 5 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS VOICE COMMUNICATION. PHOTOS ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. SEND PHOTOS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE NUMBERS SEND PHOTOS AND A TEXT DESCRIPTION WITH DIMENSIONS THE BEST THAT YOU CAN. WE HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE ON SOME MACHINES THAT DATA PLATES, IDENTITY TAGS AND NUMBERS ARE LOST OR CANNOT BE READ. WHEN YOU SEND PHOTOS WE CAN EMAIL THEM TO OUR NETWORK AND MANY MORE PEOPLE TAKE AND INTEREST AND FIND IT MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND FORWARD TO OTHERS IN ATTEMPTS TO FIND PARTS OR BUYERS FOR YOU.

GUIDANCE ON TAKING MORE USEFUL PHOTOS: TRY TO GET A MINIMUM OF 2 PHOTOS. FIRST FROM THE FRONT AND LEFT AND THE SECOND FROM THE REAR AND RIGHT SIDE. THIS GIVES 360 DEGREE COVERAGE. LAY A RULER OR TAPE MEASURE ON OR NEAR ITEMS SO WE CAN CALCULATE TRUE DIMENSIONS. SOME ITEMS IT MIGHT BE NOT POSSIBLE TO GET ALL AROUND. PHOTOS, OF THE INTERIOR OF COMPARTMENTS, CABS, MOTORS, MOVING PARTS, WEARING PARTS, IDENTIFICATION PLATES, LOAD CHARTS, ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. PHOTOS GIVE VERY MUCH INFORMATION AND ARE UNDERSTOOD AND TRUSTED MORE THAN TEXT ALONE. EVEN PEOPLE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE GREATLY SPEED UP TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING WITH PHOTOS.

HERE IS SOME MORE GUIDANCE ON WHAT TO DO TO LIST YOUR ITEMS OR ITEMS YOU ARE BROKERING FOR OTHERS. ALL OF THE INFORMATION YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW AND PHOTOS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE TO MAKE A REASONABLE DECISION AT A DISTANCE.

1 GIVE US ALL THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE ABOUT THE ITEM ESPECIALLY, TYPE, MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, SERIAL NUMBER, HOURS OF COMPONENTS OR ON REBUILDS, HISTORY, LIFE REMAINING, AVAILABILITY OF MANUALS, SPARE PARTS AND PHOTOS THAT SHOW AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ACCESS. PHOTOS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND OBJECTIVE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS FOR SALE. PHOTOS ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. PHOTOS NEEDED GRAPHIC A(115K);

2 GIVE US THE SHIPPING WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS OF THE ITEMS IF YOU HAVE THEM. IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH SHIPPING TO THE U.S. OR OTHER COUNTRIES WE WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE ESTIMATES OF THE SHIPPING COSTS YOU HAVE HAD ALREADY. SHIPPING COST BECOMES A PART OF THE PRICE THE BUYERS CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING A "BUY" DECISION.

3 GIVE US THE NORMAL RETAIL PRICE AND THE WHOLESALE PRICE AS BEST THAT YOU CAN. TELL US WHAT PRICE YOU WANT FOR THE ITEM. WE TRY TO ADD A MINIMUM OF 10% ON TO THE PRICES FOR OUR COMMISSION (ON SMALLER ITEMS IT IS A LITTLE MORE). WE CAN DISCUSS OTHER DETAILS AND REACH A FAIR COMPROMISE. IF WE CAN SELL FOR MORE THAN THE MINIMUM PRICE YOU TELL US PLUS 10% WE WILL SPLIT THE EXTRA WITH YOU 50 - 50. IF WE GET ANY OFFERS LOWER THAN YOUR MINIMUM WE WILL LET YOU KNOW IN CASE YOU NEED TO SELL QUICKLY.

4 OUR GOAL IS THAT WE WILL HELP YOU REACH MORE POTENTIAL BUYERS FOR THESE AND OTHER ITEMS WORLD WIDE AND WITH OUR EXPERIENCE MOST BUYERS AND SELLERS SAVE TIME, EXPENSE AND EFFORT MOTIVATING THEM TO BECOME REPEAT BUYERS AND SELLERS. WE WILL MAKE OUT THE INVOICE, HELP WITH ARRANGING SHIPPING COLLECT THE MONEY AND WIRE YOUR MONEY BEFORE SHIPPING. OUR EXPERIENCE WILL SAVE YOU MUCH TIME.

5 WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR LISTING AND DO NOT REQUIRE AN EXCLUSIVE LISTING. IF WE DO NOT BRING THE CUSTOMER OR THE RELATIONSHIP TO THE CUSTOMER THAT BUYS THE ITEM WE DO NOT GET A COMMISSION. YOU CAN GAIN BY BEING ABLE TO SEND PEOPLE TO THE WEB SITE TO SEE PHOTOS AND OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ITEM OR OTHER ITEMS WE HAVE LISTED AND WE CAN GAIN BECAUSE SOME MIGHT FIND OTHER ITEMS WE HAVE THAT THEY CAN BUY. WE BOTH CAN REACH MORE PEOPLE AND LEARN WHAT THE MARKET IS.

7 ACT NOW! SEND WHAT YOU HAVE NOW, ASAP AND ADD MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS AS YOU HAVE TIME BECAUSE WE MIGHT HAVE POTENTIAL BUYERS LOOKING FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SELL. (THERE ARE ABOUT 4,500 ITEMS ON THE WEB SITE AND WE HAVE ABOUT 10,000 MORE ITEMS WE DO NOT HAVE ON THE WEB SITE YET.)

8 SEND YOUR COMPLETE CONTACT INFORMATION INCLUDING PHONE NUMBER. WE WILL NOT PUT ANY INFORMATION ON THE WEB SITE EXCEPT THE STATE. POTENTIAL BUYERS NEED TO KNOW WHERE ITEMS ARE LOCATED SO THEY CAN GET ESTIMATES OF THE COST OF SHIPPING.

9 PHONE OR EMAIL YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND BEST TIMES OF CONTACT AND WE CAN OFTEN COVER MUCH INFORMATION QUICKLY AND CHEAPLY BY PHONE. SEND PHOTOS. PHOTOS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND OBJECTIVE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS FOR SALE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TO REDUCE MISTAKES ALL PRICES ON THIS WEB SITE ARE IN U.S. DOLLARS.
CURRENCY CONVERTER

WHEN MAKING INQUIRIES PLEASE INCLUDE THE ITEM NUMBER AND AS MUCH DETAIL ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT AS POSSIBLE. YOU SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER, LOCATION AND GMT TIME. WE CAN OFTEN CLARIFY MUCH DETAIL FASTER ON THE PHONE. WE CAN OFTEN GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE OF AVERAGE SHIPPING IF YOU WILL INCLUDE AT LEAST CITY AND ZIP CODE IN THE U.S. OR FOREIGN MAIL CODE. WE ARE IN GMT -0600 AND CAN BE REACHED BEST BETWEEN 0700 AND 2300 -0600 GMT (GREENWICH MEAN TIME).

FOR ALL ITEMS OR PARTS THAT YOU WANT THAT ARE NOT ON THE WEBSITE INCLUDE PHOTOS. HERE IS SOMETHING WE HAVE LEARNED THAT WILL SAVE ALL OF US TIME. IN THIS DAY AND AGE PHOTO INFORMATION IS ABOUT 10 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS TEXT AND ABOUT 5 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS VOICE COMMUNICATION. PHOTOS ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. SEND PHOTOS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE NUMBERS SEND PHOTOS AND A TEXT DESCRIPTION WITH DIMENSIONS THE BEST THAT YOU CAN. WE HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE ON SOME MACHINES THAT DATA PLATES, IDENTITY TAGS AND NUMBERS ARE LOST OR CANNOT BE READ. WHEN YOU SEND PHOTOS WE CAN EMAIL THEM TO OUR NETWORK AND MANY MORE PEOPLE TAKE AN INTEREST AND FIND IT MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND FORWARD TO OTHERS IN ATTEMPTS TO FIND ITEMS, PARTS, INFORMATION OR A SALE FOR YOU. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES. WE WILL ALL SAVE TIME AND MONEY. PHOTOS NEEDED GRAPHIC A(115K);

GUIDANCE ON TAKING MORE USEFUL PHOTOS: TRY TO GET A MINIMUM OF 2 PHOTOS. FIRST FROM THE FRONT AND LEFT AND THE SECOND FROM THE REAR AND RIGHT SIDE. THIS GIVES 360 DEGREE COVERAGE. SOME ITEMS IT MIGHT BE NOT POSSIBLE TO GET ALL AROUND. PHOTOS, OF THE INTERIOR OF COMPARTMENTS, CABS, MOTORS, MOVING PARTS, WEARING PARTS, IDENTIFICATION PLATES, LOAD CHARTS, ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. PHOTOS GIVE VERY MUCH INFORMATION AND ARE UNDERSTOOD AND TRUSTED MORE THAN TEXT ALONE. EVEN PEOPLE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE GREATLY SPEED UP TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING WITH PHOTOS.

26.21.1. AN ASTERISK (ALSO KNOWN AS "STAR") " * " MEANS THAT WE SEE THAT THERE IS IMPORTANT AND HELPFUL DETAIL MISSING OR THE ACCURACY IS IN QUESTION. IN MOST CASES WE ARE TRYING TO CLARIFY AND CONFIRM OBJECTIVE DETAILS AND WILL UPDATE AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION.

26.21.2. THE REASON WE USE ONE STYLE OF TYPE AND ALL CAPITALS IS TO REDUCE CONFUSION. THIS STYLE WITH ONLY 26 CHARACTERS AND GOOD SPACING HAS PROVED TO BE EASIER FOR PEOPLE, FROM THE OVER 240 COUNTRIES IN THE NEW WORLD WIDE MARKET, TO UNDERSTAND. OLDER PEOPLE WITH LESS THAN PERFECT EYESIGHT CAN READ THIS TYPE EASIER. IN ADDITION IF PRINTS OF THE PAGES HAVE TO BE POWER POINT DISPLAYED, RE-SCANNED OR COPIED THEY ARE MORE UNDERSTANDABLE LIKE THIS. THIS STYLE IS MORE EASILY READ ON SMALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES. COMMUNICATION IS THE GOAL NOT CONFUSION.

NO FAXES ACCEPTED AS OF 2005 04 12: ALL DOCUMENTS ARE MADE ON COMPUTERS NOW. THE QUALITY OF FAXES DEGRADES IF RESENT. ALSO PHOTOS AND OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION DETAILS HAVE POOR QUALITY IN FAX FORM. WHEN YOU WANT EQUIPMENT AND PARTS AND SEND FAXES WE HAVE TO INVEST MUCH TIME TO RE-ENTER (RE-TYPE) WHAT YOU SENT SO WE CAN EMAIL IT TO OTHER ASSOCIATES AND SPECIALIST IN OUR NETWORK. THIS COSTS US ALL TIME AND MONEY.

26.21.3. OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE BUSINESS IN EVERY COUNTRY OF THE WORLD AND WORLD WIDE IMPACT FOR GOOD. PRODUCTION IS IN THE SYSTEM. TO THAT END WE HAVE LEARNED MANY TECHNIQUES THAT HELP US DO THAT. WE HAVE LEARNED IT IS MOST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT TO WORK TOGETHER WITH OTHER MOTIVATED PEOPLE TO REACH MUTUAL GOALS

AVAILABILITY OF ITEMS ON THE WEBSITE:

WE HAVE ABOUT 4,000 CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ITEMS ON THE WEBSITE AND ABOUT 10,000 MORE THAT ARE NOT ON THE WEBSITE BECAUSE INFORMATION IS NOT COMPLETE OR THE ITEMS ARE NOT MOVING SO WE DO NOT SPEND TIME PUTTING THE ON.

SOME OF THE LISTED ITEMS TURN OUT TO BE NO LONGER AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT PRACTICAL TO GO OUT EVERY WEEK AND ASK IF EACH ITEM IS STILL AVAILABLE SO WE CHECK AGAIN WHEN THE SAME SELLER HAS OTHER ITEMS OR WHEN A BUYER HAS INTEREST.

WE HAVE SOLD MANY ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE WEBSITE OVER 15 YEARS. MOST BUSINESSES THAT ARE FAIRLY WELL RUN HAVE ITEMS THAT ARE NO LONGER USED BUT ARE KEPT BECAUSE THEY WERE USEFUL IN THE PAST, ARE PAID FOR AND WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE IF A JOB COMES UP THAT THEY CAN BE USED ON AGAIN. MOST OF THESE OWNERS WILL SELL IF THEY GET A PRICE AND ARE NOT AT ALL INTERESTED IN AUCTIONING OR SELLING AT SCRAP PRICES.

THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO SPECIALIZE IN BUYING EVERYTHING AT SCRAP PRICES. THIS IS NOT OUR AREA OF BUSINESS.

BCC’S (BLIND CARBON COPIES) EXPLANATION:

YOU MIGHT BE RECEIVING BCC’S (BLIND CARBON COPIES) FROM TIME TO TIME THAT SEEM TO BE ADDRESSED TO SOMEONE ELSE BUT THAT THE SENDER WAS IMPACT-ENTERPRISES.COM . WE HAVE FOUND THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO SAVE TIME AND GET INFORMATION TO OTHERS IN THE NETWORK.

THE UNDERSTANDING IS THIS INFORMATION IS CONFIDENTIAL FOR TRAINING TO SAVE US BOTH TIME AND THOSE RECEIVING THE “BCC” SHOULD TREAT IT AS SUCH AND NOT DIRECTLY CONTACT THE PERSON THE EMAIL WAS ADDRESSED TO WITHOUT FIRST CHECKING WITH US AT IMPACT@IMPACT-ENTERPRISES.COM . THE INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE INDISCRIMINATELY SHARED WITH OTHERS WHO YOU DO NOT HAVE A REASONABLE LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE AND TRUST IN OR A POSITIVE BUSINESS EXPERIENCE WITH. WE WILL DO THE SAME FOR ANY BCC’S YOU FORWARD TO US AND RESPECT HIGHER LEVELS OF SECURITY WHERE NECESSARY OR WISE AND TO STANDARDS YOU SPECIFY.

EVEN IF THE INFORMATION IS IN ANOTHER FIELD OF MACHINERY, EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES OR SERVICES THAN WHAT YOU SPECIALIZE IN WE BELIEVE THERE IS GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT HOW WE OPERATE THAT CAN SPEED OUR BUILDING A LONG TERM GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST WITH YOU AND OTHERS. WE ENCOURAGE YOUR FEED BACK AND COMMENTS ABOUT THE INFORMATION. WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

LEARNING AND TEACHING: IT TAKES AN AVERAGE OF 6 SPACED REPETITIONS TO LEARN OR TEACH ALMOST ANYTHING. SO TO GET THE MOST OUT OF INFORMATION THE INFORMATION SHOULD BE SCANNED OR STUDIED MULTIPLY TIMES. THOSE IDEAS THAT ARE ALREADY KNOWN SIMILAR TO SOME KNOWN WILL BE LEARNED IN 1 TO 3 REPETITIONS. THOSE THAT ARE NEW OR UNUSUAL MIGHT TAKE 9 REPETITIONS OR MORE BUT THE AVERAGE IS SURPRISINGLY ONLY 6.

BUILDING A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST: IT TAKES AN AVERAGE OF 6 TWO HOUR MEETINGS TO BUILD A MINIMUM GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST.

TO REMEMBER: WE NEVER LOSE. WE FIND WE CAN WORK WITH SOMEBODY OR WE FIND WE CANNOT. OUR GOAL IS TO TREAT EVERYONE WE COME IN CONTACT WITH, BETTER THAN THEY HAVE BEEN TREATED BY OTHERS AND ON AN EVER IMPROVING SCALE. IF WE FIND WE CAN WORK TOGETHER WE WILL PROBABLY BE FRIENDS FOR LIFE AND CAN HELP EACH OTHER TO REACH MUTUAL GOALS. IF WE FIND WE CANNOT WORK TOGETHER WE WILL NOT WASTE EACH OTHERS TIME. EITHER WAY THAT IS VALUABLE INFORMATION.

COMPLETE DETAILS ARE REQUIRED FOR PARTS SEARCH AND THE REASONS ARE:

1 WE NEED THE TYPE OF MACHINE, BRAND NAME, MODEL NUMBER, SERIES NUMBERS, SPEC NUMBERS (ALSO KNOWN AS PRODUCTION NUMBER IN SOME BRANDS), SERIAL NUMBERS AND DESCRIPTION TO GET THE AVAILABILITY AND PRICES OF ANY PART OF ANY ITEM NEW AND USED. THE MODEL NUMBER, SERIAL NUMBER, SPEC. OR PRODUCTION NUMBER FOR BOTH THE ITEM AND ALL THE NUMBERS OF THE ITEM, MACHINE OR APPLIANCE IT IS USED IN. THE REASON THIS IS NECESSARY IS BECAUSE OEM'S (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURES) ARE REMOVING THE MANUFACTURE'S DATA PLATE AND ARE PUTTING THERE OWN STOCKING NUMBERS ON PARTS SO THAT OWNERS WANTING REPAIR PARTS HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE MANUFACTURES SYSTEM TO GET THEM. NUMBERS ARE CHANGED BY MANY COMPANIES AND MANY COMPANIES ARE BOUGHT OUT BY OTHER COMPANIES AND THE NUMBERS ON ITEMS NOT DELETED ARE MERGED INTO THE BIGGER SYSTEM. THIS HELPS SUPPORT THE DEALER SYSTEM AND THE PARTS STOCKING SYSTEM. PHOTOS NEEDED GRAPHIC A(120K);

THE PEOPLE IN THE WAREHOUSES CANNOT FIND THINGS WITHOUT HAVING ALL THE NUMBERS AND GENERALLY THE WAREHOUSE PEOPLE OF TODAY HAVE VERY LITTLE MECHANICAL APTITUDE AND/OR ACTUAL EXPERIENCE SO THEY HAVE LITTLE IDEA WHAT MOST PARTS DO. SEVERAL FACTORS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING IN THE PAST DECADE ARE SHOWING THE FUTURE. THERE IS INCREASINGLY RAPID INNOVATION AND IMPROVEMENT AND WORLD WIDE COMPETITION. SOME PEOPLE CALL THIS PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT. EVEN THE FAMOUS VW BEATLE HAD DIFFERENT IMPROVED OR RESHAPED PARTS IN PROGRESSIVELY NEWER MODELS. THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE SAME MODELS IN THE SAME YEAR. THIS IS WHY THE SERIAL NUMBER IS OFTEN NECESSARY TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART. IT SAVES US ALL TIME AND MONEY IF WE GET ALL THE NUMBERS AND PHOTOS RIGHT FROM THE START. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.

2 IT IS GETTING HARDER TO GET PARTS FOR OLD MACHINERY AND ITEMS OF ALL TYPES OLDER THAN 1980 EVEN FOR ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN BRANDS WORLD WIDE, THE CATERPILLAR BRAND. WE HAVE SEEN THIS TREND MOVING TO ONLY 10 YEARS AND LESS PARTS AVAILABILITY OVER THE NEXT DECADE. THE FUTURE WILL BE "THROW AWAY" OR "RECYCLE" OR JUST IN TIME PARTS EVEN IN THE FIRST 10 YEARS AFTER MANUFACTURE. WE ARE SEEING AUTOMATED MASS PRODUCTION CHEAPER THAN REPAIR LABOR AND SPARE PARTS WAREHOUSING COSTS FOR BIGGER MACHINERY NOT JUST ELECTRONICS AND SMALLER HARD GOODS. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.

WE HAVE EVEN TRIED A FEW YARDS THAT HAD MANY OLD MACHINES AND THEY WANTED SO MUCH TO TAKE THE PARTS OFF THAT IT WAS NOT WORTH IT ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SAME PARTS ARE USUALLY BAD AND MOST MACHINES OF THE SAME MODELS AND YEARS.

3 MANY PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY DIFFERENT MODELS AND NO ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT WAY TO STORE PARTS FOR ALL OF THEM SO THE MANUFACTURE'S WAREHOUSING DEPARTMENTS ARE BEING PROMPTED BY THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS, BASED ON "EFFICIENCY" AND "RETURN ON INVESTMENT" STUDIES, TO CLEAR THE SHELVES OF PARTS THAT HAVE NOT MOVED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY OVER A VARYING PERIOD OF YEARS. TO DO THIS THEY GENERALLY HAVE "SCRAPERS" COME IN AND CLEAN UP. THERE WAS A GENERALLY FOLLOWED "LAW" THAT A MANUFACTURER HAD TO HAVE PARTS AND REPAIRS OR EXCHANGE FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH MOST MANUFACTURES AROUND THE WORLD NOW. IN THE U.S. THE STANDARD IS FOR 7 YEARS SUPPORT NOW. MANY ITEMS MADE IN CHINA ARE ONE RUN ONLY AND WILL NEVER BE MADE THE SAME.

THE "SCRAPERS" CANNOT AFFORD TO WAREHOUSE EVEN $3,000. CRANK SHAFTS AND OTHER EXPENSIVE MACHINED PARTS THAT MIGHT NOT MOVE FOR MANY YEARS IF EVER SO THE SCRAPERS SELL THEM FOR SCRAP METAL. THE METAL RECYCLERS ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION. EVEN THE BEST MATERIALS CANNOT SURVIVE IN SALABLE CONDITION WITHOUT PROPER CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE AND A SYSTEM TO FIND THEM AGAIN. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.

4 THE GLOBAL MARKET IS MOVING RAPIDLY TO A "MAKE AS NEEDED PARTS SYSTEM" USING COMPUTER CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT THE SAME AS ABOUT 50% OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT IS MANUFACTURED NOW. THIS WILL SAVE AN ESTIMATED 50% MINIMUM ON PARTS COST, MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE PARTS FOR MORE DIFFERENT MACHINES AND ACTUALLY REDUCE THE TIME TO FIND, AND SHIP PARTS WORLD WIDE.

MICROSOFT, WHOM MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE ARE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF CHANGE, PERIODICALLY STOP PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THEIR OLDER PRODUCTS. THE POLICY IS TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF 5 YEARS OF SUPPORT FOR BUSINESS OPERATING SYSTEMS. CUSTOMERS CAN BUY "EXTENDED SUPPORT" FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS. MOST OTHER COMPANIES PRODUCING HARD GOODS HAVE OR WILL DO THE SAME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THIS IS NOT THE 1950'S. THIS IS NOT EVEN THE 1970'S. WE ARE IN THE 21 ST CENTURY. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.

5 HERE IS SOMETHING WE HAVE LEARNED THAT WILL SAVE ALL OF US TIME. IN THIS DAY AND AGE PHOTO INFORMATION IS ABOUT 10 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS TEXT AND ABOUT 5 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS VOICE COMMUNICATION. PHOTOS ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. SEND PHOTOS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE NUMBERS SEND PHOTOS AND A TEXT DESCRIPTION WITH DIMENSIONS THE BEST THAT YOU CAN. WE HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE ON SOME MACHINES THAT DATA PLATES, IDENTITY TAGS AND NUMBERS ARE LOST OR CANNOT BE READ. WHEN YOU SEND PHOTOS WE CAN EMAIL THEM TO OUR NETWORK AND MANY MORE PEOPLE TAKE AN INTEREST AND FIND IT MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND FORWARD TO OTHERS IN ATTEMPTS TO FIND PARTS OR SALES FOR YOU. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES. PHOTOS NEEDED GRAPHIC A(115K);

GUIDANCE ON TAKING MORE USEFUL PHOTOS: TRY TO GET A MINIMUM OF 2 PHOTOS. FIRST FROM THE FRONT AND LEFT AND THE SECOND FROM THE REAR AND RIGHT SIDE. THIS GIVES 360 DEGREE COVERAGE. PUT A RULER OR OTHER MEASURING DEVICE IN THE PHOTO SO WE CAN JUDGE THE ACTUAL SIZE. SOME ITEMS IT MIGHT BE NOT POSSIBLE TO GET ALL AROUND. PHOTOS OF THE INTERIOR OF COMPARTMENTS, CABS, MOTORS, MOVING PARTS, WEARING PARTS, IDENTIFICATION PLATES, LOAD CHARTS ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. PHOTOS GIVE VERY MUCH INFORMATION AND ARE UNDERSTOOD AND TRUSTED MORE THAN TEXT ALONE. EVEN PEOPLE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE GREATLY SPEED UP TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING WITH PHOTOS.

6 IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING THIS IS NOT WORTH DOING FOR ONE OR TWO ORDERS. WE DO THIS TO TRY TO DEVELOP A LONG TERM GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST. WE HOPE TO BE ABLE DO OTHER BUSINESS TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE.

7 ALSO SEND SHIPPING INFORMATION INCLUDING ADDRESS WITH ZIP CODES, CONTACT INFORMATION AND PREFERRED METHOD AND CARRIER.

8 MANY MACHINE SHOPS CAN REPAIR OR REMAKE MANY PARTS IF THAT IS ALL THAT IS KEEPING AN OLD MACHINE FROM WORKING. WE HAVE EVEN HAD LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES OF MACHINE TOOL MANUFACTURERS TELL US THAT ON OLD LATHES IT WILL BE CHEAPER AND FASTER FOR THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE THE PART MADE LOCALLY. IT WOULD ALSO TAKE 6 TO 9 MONTHS TO HAVE THE PART MADE BECAUSE OF LEAD TIME AND SHIPPING. ANOTHER SLOW DOWN IS THAT MANUFACTURES WILL MOST OFTEN NOT SHIP DIRECT SO PARTS HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE NEAREST DISTRIBUTOR THEN THEY CAN BE EXPORT SHIPPED. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.

9 YOU ARE CORRECT. PHOTOS ARE NECESSARY. SEND PHOTOS. WITHOUT PHOTOS WE BOTH WASTE TIME. YOU DO NOT BELIEVE HOW HARD AND TIME WASTING IT IS TO GET EVEN NEW PARTS WITHOUT PHOTOS.

10 IF YOU FIND ANY SOURCES WOULD YOU PLEASE LET US KNOW AND WE WILL MARKET COPIES OF MANUALS AND SURPLUS AND SALVAGE PARTS WITH YOU.

LIMITED WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES: ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS WHERE IS. IT IS NOT PRACTICAL TO SHIP MOST ITEMS ESPECIALLY MACHINERY ITEMS GREAT DISTANCES EVEN BETWEEN STATES AND ESPECIALLY BETWEEN COUNTRIES BUT THESE STATEMENTS SHOW THAT THE ITEMS ARE BETTER QUALITY AND WILL PROBABLY BE REASONABLY TROUBLE FREE WHEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

EVEN IF WE BUY A CAR IN THE U.S. IT HAS TO BE DELIVERED BACK TO THE DEALER OR AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER WHERE A DETERMINATION CAN BE MADE THAT A PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP AND IS NOT DUE TO LACK OF PROPER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OR NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ITEMS USED FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS ARE OFTEN NOT WARRANTED TO THE SAME STANDARD. A VERY FEW ITEMS HAVE A NATIONAL AUTHORIZED SERVICE NETWORK THAT IS PRACTICAL WHEN WE CONSIDER OUR "DOWN TIME" AND EVEN FEWER HAVE INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS. OUR BEST GUARANTEE IS TO PROPERLY OPERATE AND MAINTAIN WHAT WE BUY AND IT WILL BE CHEAPER OVER TIME AND IN MOST CASES MUCH OF OUR PROFIT MARGIN.

MOTIVATED RESPONSIBLE PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN EVERYTHING EVEN PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. THIS IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES BECAUSE SPARE PARTS AND EXPERIENCED SERVICE ARE NOT AS AVAILABLE. MOST AMERICAN BUSINESSES BUY USED EQUIPMENT WHENEVER THEY CAN AND MAINTAIN IT THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE GROWING. THE NEW EQUIPMENT IS OFTEN TOO EXPENSIVE AND STILL HAS TO BE OPERATED AND MAINTAINED PROPERLY FROM THE FIRST DAY OR THE DOWN TIME PUTS US OUT OF PROFITABLE BUSINESS. IF WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO "DO IT RIGHT" WHEN WILL WE FIND TIME "TO DO IT OVER".

USEFUL INFORMATION: ENLIGHTENED SELF-INTEREST HOW WE CAN HAVE 10 TIMES THE STANDARD OF LIVING WORLD WIDE WITHIN 40 YEARS.
