@JamieBarnes0556 A replacement list. Nothing about the assemblies they left alone. Better than nothing, but 'inspected' is doing a lot of work here.

@JackAbbott0080 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.

@JamieBarnes0556 I'm unsure how to read 'refurbished'. Does that description establish that the entire unit was assessed, or do you still need the detailed scope?

The label alone doesn't tell you what was checked. Ask for the actual scope, results and exclusions for the unit you're considering.

@JamieBarnes0556 On my own used-arm purchase, the inventory caught a required cable missing from the bundle. Easy to price, annoyingly easy to overlook.

@ImranBrown0914 Did you ask for photos of every item? Their bundle description is mostly 'complete system', which isn't helping me much.

Photos helped with mine, alongside an itemised list. Have them identify the controller, pendant, cables and included software access rather than relying on the group photo.

A successful demonstration of your handling task should address the main condition uncertainty left after the paperwork review.

A demonstration doesn't settle the gap in the replacement list. Successfully handling something isn't a condition assessment of the assemblies that weren't replaced.

@VictorAbbott0011 Yes, I oversold it. The demo supports application suitability in that setup; it doesn't replace the qualified condition assessment you still need.

i visited and saw normal movement and a successful transfer. We didn't see a backup restored, though. i'm keeping that blank on my checklist.

@JackAbbott0080 What distinguishes having a backup from demonstrating recovery? I'm wondering whether simply checking that the file opens is enough.

The useful question is whether the system can recover its required configuration through the appropriate procedure. Ask the seller and assessor to define a controlled demonstration and identify the access it requires.

@JamieBarnes0556 i still don't have enough to judge the condition or complete package. i'm not committing to collection on the strength of 'inspected'.

Fair enough. The inspection label hasn't supplied the missing condition and package information.
