[labnetwork] Capital eqpt. vendor feedback

[Charles Ellis]

Scott,

We have purchased quite a lot of equipment from many different used equipment vendors over the years. We have never been able to close a deal with CAE due to their inability to work with our University's purchasing requirements.  They basically want everything up front – while we are usually only able to give 25 – 50 % up front – if that much.  We have always found Classone equipment to be very good and very fair with us.  We have purchased almost all of our larger pieces of equipment from them (CHA Mark 50, STS AOE, STS PECVD, STS ASE, Branson Asher, etc..).  We have also purchased items from GCE Marketing – they are very good technically.

Good Luck…

Charles Ellis…

Fellow Labnetworkers,

We’re looking to purchase a used piece of capital eqpt. and have located a potential candidate.
Does anyone have recent experience doing business with Capital Asset and Equipment Trading (aka CAE online)?
I’m looking for feedback related to your customer service experience. Before I commit to spending any
hard-to-come-by capital funds, I’d like to hear of your pros and cons in any dealings with them.

Regards,

Scott P. Blondell
