A refurbished Fairino FR10 looks tempting for our tray-to-fixture transfer setup with a molded housing in a small bench assembly area. The price is attractive and the listing says 'inspected', but I haven't seen the inspection scope. What should I ask for before paying to collect it?

@JuliaBrown0935 It would help to know whether you've a condition assessment or only a list of replaced items. What documentation has the seller supplied beyond the listing?

A replacement list. Nothing about the assemblies they left alone. Better than nothing, but 'inspected' is doing a lot of work here.

Request the unit-specific inspection scope and a complete inventory of what's included. You can then make a qualified condition assessment and a demonstration relevant to your application conditions of purchase.

@BrunoChen1148 The replacement list helps, but the condition and package checks aren't complete. I'm keeping the offer open without committing.

The replacement information adds something, but you've correctly left the commitment open while the broader checks remain incomplete.
