I would just say be careful not to overestimate the value of the equipment -- even a quick search of used equipment sites uncovers many refurbished biosafety cabinets for <$5K. As you pointed out, delivery and installation often represent a very large part of the transaction, rather than the equipment itself.

They normally cost high thousands to tens of thousands, and you can spend an equal amount just to get all of the pieces parts hooked up and packed. This is a last minute thing that I am trying to leverage- any later, and it goes back on the auction block at BioSurpus.com They might spend a couple thousand just to get these things moved, so if I can release their greedy hands, this is a fabulous no-time-like-now opportunity.After today, just watch biosurplus.com and if you need help or assistance with a purchase, let me know.--On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 2:12 PM, Nathan McCorkle <nmz787@gmail.com> wrote:How much $$$?
