The refurbished FR5 price suits our small aluminium-block transfer plan, but inspected is all the listing tells me about condition; I would like the checks and support position clear before I pay to collect it.
Ask for the actual unit and controller identities, inspection scope and findings, and relevant service history, with the proposed package contents. I would settle the basis for a qualified condition assessment before paying for the trip; a sticker does not tell you what was excluded.
They have sent matching arm and controller photographs, but no test findings yet; the pendant is pictured separately and I have asked whether that exact one belongs to the offered package.
Amara, yes. Henry, I would also clarify the opportunity to decline after the agreed assessment and what costs remain yours. The travel bill should not become the reason to accept an unknown machine.
They offer a demonstration but have not said what the earlier inspection covered; thanks Jasper for the decline point, I am asking that before arranging travel rather than arguing about it beside the crate.
I would have the assessor agree the demonstration scope with the seller and distinguish general condition from your application review. A promising used arm can still leave tooling, integration and support work to price separately.
