Does the sheet identify the actual arm and controller being sold?
9 pointsYes. Both serials match their photographs.
15 pointsI'd ask who did it. Not to catch anyone out, but a warehouse check and a technician's assessment can land under the same heading (we've bought both).
16 pointsYou can pay someone independent to look at it before arranging collection. Give them the seller's actual scope first, though. Otherwise you may buy another report that answers exactly the same small question.
10 pointsAnd get the seller to agree to that visit before paying the assessor.
14 pointsIs the pictured tooling included? Used listings can be vague about that.
18 pointsNo tooling. Arm, controller, pendant and listed cables. The seller has offered access for our assessor.
9 pointsThat's a useful start. Our missing bit was the cable between two things both marked included. Everybody thought somebody else had packed it.
24 pointsNathan's point is worth a physical inventory during the visit. Rebecca, is your assessor also advising on the puck application, or only the condition of this package?
17 pointsApplication work could cost more than the saving. Still worth pricing, not guessing.
4 pointsEspecially the fixture. A bare arm price leaves quite a lot unbought.
5 pointsCondition visit only. I already have a separate tooling allowance, and it is not small. My first draft budget treated the workshop's spare fixture as free because we owned it. Then our machinist pointed out that it is still needed for manual work. I have put a second fixture and its design time into the comparison. The assessor will identify exclusions before we agree the visit. I would rather learn that access is too limited now than collect a cheap unanswered question.
13 pointsThanks for explaining the fixture situation. Keeping the manual job available matters here; it also gives you somewhere to keep working while the robot application is being developed.
13 pointsWhat happens if the assessor needs something the seller can't provide, like previous repair details?
15 pointsMissing history stays missing. An inspection cannot recreate it.
24 pointsAgreed. They have no earlier service records and that is in the proposed scope. No claim of a complete history.
13 pointsAsk for a price for any further investigation before the visit expands.
19 pointsVisit completed. The assessor found a damaged cable outer covering and wants the connection checked properly before drawing a conclusion about that part of the package. Seller has agreed to make it available for that work. We have not bought it. The inspection fee has at least replaced a vague concern with a specific cost question.
