The other day, I was talking to a friend who works in support for a motion
control company. He said one of the things that was really beginning to take up a lot of time is people buying equipment off of EBay and then calling in and needing manuals and support!
If you go to www.ebay.com and start type in, for example, Allen Bradley, you
pull up a list of 361 pieces of equipment ranging from switches all the way up to a complete PLC/2 and above. Try any other company... you might be surprised at what you can find (and may be in utter shock that any of that
stuff is still running!)
Has anyone on this list bought anything off Ebay? What's the general consensus on the use of the second-hand equipment?
