Hi Y'all,
I'm looking for a gently used optical comparator in good condition for our university's engineering manufacturing lab. The ideal machine would be a Mitutoyo PH350 or 351 with a DRO (or good manual micrometer dials), but I'm open to other reputable brands.
I can spend some money, but not as much as a new unit is worth and perhaps not as much as a good used unit would be worth. I have $24,000 to buy everything for a metrology lab, and I'm trying to find the best possible equipment I can for our students given the budget that I have.
The Criteria:
We can only buy from businesses, not individuals.
We need an official paper quote and (after the order is placed), an invoice.
We are discouraged from paying for things before we actually have them in our possession. If possible, you would need to accept a PO, which is a legally binding document stating that we will pay $X upon receipt of the goods sold. We are an $80M/year state university with abundant references.
We can only send payment via credit card or ACH (direct deposit).
We need to be set up as tax exempt, I can provide our exemption certificate.
Sorry that's kind of a lot... the government makes it really difficult to buy things sometimes.
Thanks for your time!
