[labnetwork] Surplus equipment

[DeVito, Richard]

It's always good to get an itemized list and break  down of what was done to actually refurbish the machine and have them sign off on it. Also, have a site or factory acceptance test with criterion that ensures it is a working system  and hold back 20% or so if they don't pass the acceptance test. It is a very good incentive for them to give you a working piece of equipment. IF companies won't abide by this then walk away no matter how attractive the price point looks!

Be very careful with surplused equipment.  Many of us have stories of companies that are predators and you should run away from.  Rather than a full name shame please e-mail me directly for whom I am referring if interested.

Cheers!
