We will not be undersold.  if you find this listed in comparable condition and with the same warranty with someone else for less, please submit a 'best offer' that is 5% under the other seller and reference the competing item number.

Probably used for in-house testing of GPIB systems but in good condition as seen in the photographs, tested and in working condition.  Includes all items shown in photographs including GPIB cable, CD, Power supply kit, and the bus isolator/expander.  The item has been in our inventory for many years, we are not quite sure why we have it or its history, but it does not have its original packaging so we are selling as used.  The power supply that is included is probably not the original but it was used during the testing of the item and meets the item’s power input specifications.  From the ICS website, it looks like these are about $875 new so we are pricing this at a little more than half of new.  We do not know its age but the date on the CD is 2003, (at least it has a CD which makes it newer than some of the things we are finding on the back of the shelves that have a floppy disk).

Policies:
For domestic shipping, if you purchase multiple items we will ship together and charge actual shipping.  International shipping requires one item per shipment.

Return Policy:
If we somehow messed up and did not accurately describe the listing, we will certainly accept a return and pay for return shipping.
However, please make sure that this is what you want.  All returned items must be in the same condition as when shipped.   If you can think of any reason that you may need to return this item, please contact us to discuss before you bid or purchase.  If this item is returned for any reason other than incorrect listing, shipping will not be refunded.

Notice:  Tamper Evident Serial Number label:
To facilitate record management and returns, we may apply a serialized, temporary label to the item.  These tamper evident labels are easily removed but we will not accept any item returned without this label or if the label has been removed and reapplied making its ‘tamper’ indication appear.  When you are certain that you are satisfied and will not be returning the item, the label easily peels off without leaving any residue.


Finally, this is old inventory and may have been sitting on a shelf for a decade.  You expect it to have a lot of life left and we expect the same.  These items have been tested for basic operation with a NI-GPIB-USP-HS dongle and an Agilent milliohm meter and seem to function fine, but they are being sold as-is since we do not know what time has done to any calibration, isolation system, or other sensitive components.

Thank you
