Waiting for quick reply.

Hi Laiq,

You may have already looked, but try dotmed. I'm not sure what your budget is, but there is an auction for ten 595's at $2499 and an auction for four at $100 each. Both ship internationally at buyer's expense. Take the parts you need, save the parts you don't.

Best,

Bob

As long as we are talking about used equipment for spares, our friend in Karachi could also keep tabs on the monthly Hilditch auctions.

I have lost count of the number of times I have urged "collaboration" regarding issues like this!

Pity that he has just missed this month's auction!

Looking at the DOTmed auction mentioned, I notice that "the equipment is located in a hospital in New Jersey". H'mmm. At least at Malmesbury you can see the things in front of you, and pick them up* for closer examination!

Does anyone have any joyful news about buying remotely from the States (or anywhere else), and having stuff shipped half way around the world?

* Or have your trusted agent do so on your behalf.

I'm sure any one of our international customers can tell you a joyful experience

I assumed our friend in Karachi had no qualms ordering internationally; otherwise, he would be on a Pakistani based EBME site asking for spares!

Anyway, not that you asked for it, but here is Bob Banks' advice for ordering online:

1) Research the seller, read reviews, and email reviewers.
2) Ask questions and for more pictures. Sellers with nothing to hide will respond quickly and have no issue providing close up shots or shots of the equipment plugged in.
3) Discuss and arrange shipping details BEFORE bidding.
4) Never pay cash. Use a form of payment that offers protection should things go awry (i.e. credit card of pay pal).

In other words C.Y.A.

All that is great if you have the time (meanwhile the kit has been sold to someone else).

OK Bob, here's another opportunity for you:- as you obviously have experience of the plentitude that is the U.S. used equipment and parts market, why not act as the "trusted middleman" in cases such as this, and others that may follow?

In a word (or two), the "honest broker"!

After all, it's all about trust, is it not? And folk usually prefer to do business with people whom they know.

Thanks guys for your replies.
I have forwarded the dotmed list to my customer lets see.
I have purchased many items from them & other companies in USA.
Thanks GEOFF & BOB
Hope you are ok after recent riots.
Thanks again.
best regards.

- not a bad idea, Geoff. I will give it some thought.

@ Geoff

We have purchased kit out of the USA (via Ebay) on a number of occasions without any drama. The "art" here is getting it through customs without getting slugged (and no, I'm not going to publicly discuss how it was done)

Just out of interest ... when kit gets sent out of the country for repair (calibration, etc.), how does it get regarded by Customs upon its return?

Because it was originally purchased in that country, all duties and taxes have already been paid therefore no further duty is required. However, "first import" is a different matter.

I should add however that under some circumstances, you need to register the item on it's way out of the country so that you don't run into issues on the way back in. The document required is called (and I'm not sure of the spelling here) a "carnet" (French origin I think hence pronounced carneigh, .......oh for an acute accent key )
