Same seller as the last few.


Don'tcha just love surplus?

"solanotraders" seller is really strange ..... as far as i've seen on all their auctions, no precise descriptions :thinking:, no declarations of working items :scowl:, no serious business procedures :can:, always "Acquired from government surplus" (without any other details) , always "NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS will be allowed" :tsk:, and always absurd shipping fees .....

I know that, at the first sight, their auctions looks good, but digging a bit in them ..... :undecided:

Is just for me, or this seller really smells fishy ?

You could be right. The main thing I don't like about the seller is the thermopiles they sell, they never directly show the face of the sensor :scowl:

You make a good point, very fishy indeed.

Me too ..... but when, 8 months ago, i asked them detailed specifications and conditions about the item i was interested, sending them 3 messages in 10 days, wihout a single word of reply, i lost any possible faith i can have in them .....

I mean, is like if you sell your laserbee LPM, and someone ask you technical details that you have not posted in the auction ..... i think that you, as any serious seller, have no difficult to reply to the possible buyer, right ?

Where instead someone post a generic auction, without any of the really important informations (like them ..... "i sell this, it come from military surplus, no refund" ..... very detailed ), and then asked for the missed details, never reply, my suspicious nature tend to classify it as "bad seller" .....

Ofcourse, i can be wrong, cause i don't know the seller personally, and all this is just a personal feeling .....

The meters are cheep -- the 380001 thermal head is rare and $$$.
I bought a 362 once just to get the head.

Still have a 360001 in a box on a shelf, unused from long time ..... it was coupled to an old 365, that was dead for an overtension from the main (and i mean, dead DEAD, fire and smoke, and totally carbonized PCB assembly ..... :cryyy .....

Had no time, til now, but i'm thinking, one of these days, to build something for adapt it to the other meters .....
