The identified package and what its inspection covered, with findings and unresolved items. A moving demonstration doesn't establish condition or suitability for your puck-transfer job.
21 pointsSeller sent a short motion video. No inspection scope, and pendant identity isn't visible.
14 pointsThat's a video, then. Ask for the arm, controller and pendant identities together, and what was replaced or repaired. Cheap kit gets less charming when nobody can tell you which bits belong with it.
21 pointsInclude the software and available backup information in that package description. The person taking over needs to know what can be restored and which documentation applies, not merely that someone made it move for a camera.
7 pointsI'd get a price for an independent inspection before booking transport; otherwise the collection cost becomes your reason to ignore the missing answers.
24 pointsJamie, agreed, although the assessor needs the actual package description before quoting a meaningful visit rather than another general look at it.
16 pointsAnd can you walk away after that inspection? Ask before spending on it.
3 pointsPrice the handover and support you need too; a lower purchase price may still suit you, but it should not assume your operator arrives knowing an inherited configuration.
7 pointsIdentities supplied. Seller admits inspected meant a basic functional check, not a documented refurbishment assessment.
20 pointsWhat refurbishment work can they actually identify, then?
1 pointsThomas, keep the puck job cost separate from buying a usable package; you still need the trays and tooling even if the inspection is encouraging.
7 pointsI wouldn't reject it solely because the original check was narrow. I would reject the idea that narrow means complete. A defined independent assessment could still make the decision possible, if the seller will allow it and the cost makes sense.
2 pointsReece, yes, but I wouldn't pay to discover basic identities they could send for free. Thomas has those now, so at least the assessor can arrive looking at the same package everyone priced.
21 pointsSeller identifies replaced cables but no wider overhaul. Independent assessor has quoted a defined visit; seller permits it.
20 pointsPermits it, fine. Have you agreed what happens if you decline the purchase?
16 pointsYes. No purchase commitment for the inspection visit; our inspection fee stays ours if we decline.
12 pointsThat leaves a decision you can price. Make sure the assessor's scope includes the specific package concerns, without treating it as approval of your eventual cell.
20 pointsDid the visit uncover anything that changes the total, Thomas?
0 pointsVisit found connector damage needing repair and no usable configuration backup. Repair, setup and our tooling erase the saving. Purchase declined.
12 pointsA useful outcome for the inspection fee, even if it is disappointing; you avoided inheriting the unexplained setup as an operator-training problem.
