We're looking for advice from those with experience selling used CNC's or other high-dollar/technical/potentially dangerous equipment.
Advice on handing/accepting a large payment?
Advice on crating/shipping a large/heavy machine with delicate tolerances?
How to deal with expectations from someone who may be new to CNCs? How to provide a reasonable amount of support for setting up a complex machine without quitting your day job to become a full-time tech support specialist?
Is there a need to protect ourselves in case the new owner gets hurt using the machine?
Is this type of equipment assumed to be sold "as-is" or does that need to be stated in a contract? Other details that are important to get in writing?
Thanks for the help!
