Hi Chengzhi,

Thanks for the offer on the broken centrifuge but I will need to pass on 
this.  However, I would be interested in the broken distillation unit.

If you are interested in us removing all your unworking equipment we can 
discuss this.

Weekends is not a good day for us;  however we would like to come during the 
week to pick up our equipment.

Regards,

Richard

Saturday Nov 4 from 10am to 6pm works for me. If you can bring a strong man 
with you, I can give you our broken centrifuge for free (see my previous 
email). Let me know your arrival times then. Thanks.

Yes, but it only works with equipment exchange, that is, no cash 
transactions. Also, I don’t have time for it till mid-December.

Hi Richard,

Sorry I missed your calls. We don’t need a centrifuge anymore, nor the plate 
washer and pump you left last time. These days and throughout October, we 
will be very busy. I wonder if you could come by tomorrow afternoon either 
1-2 pm or 4-5 pm to pick up the plate washer? To thank you for the trip, we 
can offer you a broken centrifuge (see attached photo) for free, but you 
need bring a strong man and a heavy duty cart with you since it is very very 
heavy and need at least 3-4 men to move it. Please let me know.

Thank you,

Chengzhi

Hi Chengzhi,

The unit does include a rotor but we need to check the diameter of the tube 
inserts.   We also have another similar unit( will send you information).

We will try to have an answer for you today if not latest on Monday.

Hello Chengzhi

My apologies for not responding earlier, some urgent matters required my 
attention.

So, unfortunately those two items are sold; I am sending you a updated 
catalogue/Sep 2023.   Do you need a refrigerated centrifuge?  Please review 
section on centrifuges as to what is available.

Good morning Richard,

Thank you for the catalogue. We are interested in replacing our broken 
centrifuge with the one in

page 28: Thermo Electron Corporation Sorvall Legend RT Centrifuge + rotor 
Refrigerated

Also, we are interested in the one on

page 35:  Thermo Savant SPD121P-115 Speed Vac Concentrator

Can we try these two items? If they work, we can discuss about the exchange 
items. Or we can discuss them before testing the two equipment.

Thanks,

Hello Richard,

Sorry for the delay. The price you offered is too low. For example, many 
years ago someone offered $3k for the furnace alone. Also, it is complicated 
for us to do cash transaction.

How about we trade some of the items for something we need, such as a 
compact microscope, a heater shaker for 24x 1.5mL vials, a centrifuge for 
96-well or 384-well microplates, and suitable consumables (specific 96- and 
384-well plates, pipette tips, 5 and 15 mL tubes)? If so, we will need to a 
full catalog other than what you list on ebay. After we find the items we 
are interested in, we can discuss about our trade in items.

We briefly tested the 96-well washer, it seemed working. However, without 
the 384-wash head, we do not want this unit. My students might want the pump 
that you brought with the washer, but we need to double check.

Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

Kind regards,

Chengzhi

Hello Dr Cai,

Good afternoon.   Regarding your surplus equipment, I am open to discussing 
finances; my issue is I purchase to resell and as such need to consider all 
my costs as well as what I could possible sell these for when making an 
offer.

Having said that I wanted to make you a revised offer of  $800.  We would 
obviously take full responsibility of removing these items from your office.

Can we agree on this?

Thanks and regards,

Richard

Hello Rich,

Thank you so much for the offer, and I am glad to get to know you. Yes, it 
will be great if you can bring it to us for a full test. If it works for us, 
we will pay in full immediately. Also, I will show you the equipment we are

When will be convenient for you to drop by?

Hello Dr. Cai,

Good day to you!  I was able to find your email online.

So, regarding the condition of the Tecan it appears as it is working 
properly.  It would be best to fully set up to confirm this.  In this 
regard, I can offer to bring it by first so you can fully test to ensure it 
meets your expectations. Once you have fully test, then I would invoice you. 
This would also allow me the opportunity to introduce myself in person.

Either way, let me know what works best for you.

Best,

Rich
