[labnetwork] Surplus equipment

[Robert Avila]

I agree. One of the things to consider, especially being an equipment provider is reach out to your prospective provider and ask them if there is a reconditioned/refurbished/demo unit available.

We warranty our used equipment like a new machine. Others should follow suite. Furthermore, if you buy a used machine, the supplier should stand by their product, regardless of who the user is. Imagine Ford saying, sorry, no part for you...you didn't buy it.

Be very careful with surplused equipment.  Many of us have stories of companies that are predators and you should run away from.  Rather than a full name shame please e-mail me directly for whom I am referring if interested.

Cheers!

Dear All,

Our facility is looking to acquire following pieces of equipment: thermal evaporator, sputtering tool, spin coaters, hot plates, oxidation oven and RTA. If somebody can recommend a reliable refurb company or may have such an equipment and looking to sell it, please let me know.

Thank you, Esta
