The refurbished FR5 is cheaper than its unexplained inspection

This FR5 listing says inspected and the price is tempting for our spacer transfer. I haven't seen the inspection scope. Or any results, really. What should I establish before paying for collection?

Have they identified the actual arm and controller being sold? Start there.

Serial photographs supplied. The listing pictures match those labels. Inspection still just a word in the description.

Request dated findings for those units, including what was repaired and what was not tested.

Will they allow your own assessor to inspect it before purchase?

They allow a visit, but only offer a short powered demonstration. I need to ask what an assessor could actually examine during it.

Price that assessment and any missing included equipment before comparing the bargain with other options. You may still like it, but at least the comparison will include the uncertainty.

An assessor is discussing a scope with them. I haven't booked collection. Thanks Chloe, using the unit identifiers has at least made the request specific.

Did they supply the repair history as well, or is the assessor still waiting on that?
