Our verdict: this is legit

Full lookup completed on March 20, 2025

8 of 8 checks passed

CanITrustBiz ran a full independent lookup on this entity - domain, registration, contact, payment safety and public reputation - and found it legitimate. Nothing here is paid for; the verdict reflects what our team could actually confirm.

Checks confirmed

  • Domain age & WHOIS records checked

    We confirmed how long the domain has been registered and that its ownership records are consistent - not freshly created to run a scam.

  • Valid SSL certificate confirmed

    The site serves over HTTPS with a valid, current certificate issued to the operator.

  • Business registration matched

    The trading name maps to a real registered company, and the registration number checks out against public records.

  • Physical address verified

  • Contact details verified

  • No scam or fraud reports found

    We searched fraud databases, chargeback registers, and public complaint boards and found no unresolved scam reports.

  • Payment & checkout safety reviewed

  • Independent reviews cross-checked

    First-hand accounts from real customers were read and weighed against the record before publishing this verdict.

Additional checks were carried out under the CanITrustBiz Trust Standard. The full lookup is held on file.

I asked for more pics and got 20 plus a video. Every scratch was in there. Deere matched, title took 8 days.

Never did an online auction before. Purple Wave chat helped me register and set a max bid. Somebody even called when I got outbid to ask if I wanted to go higher.
