A refurbished Fairino FR5 looks tempting for our parts tray loading setup with a molded housing in a workshop test cell. 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?
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?
@CallumChan1056 Ask for a report tied to this unit and an itemised package list. Make purchase conditional on a qualified condition assessment and a representative demonstration.
@JaneBell0684 You need the underlying scope to know what the description means here. Request the checks performed, their results and anything excluded for this particular unit.
@KaiAllen0280 When I bought a used arm for my setup, an itemised inventory revealed that a cable we needed wasn't included. Identifying it made the extra cost straightforward to establish.
For my purchase, photographs were useful when matched to the inventory. Ask for identified controller, pendant and cable items, plus clarity on software access; a group photograph can't explain the whole bundle.
