I'm interested in experience people may have had in equipment sales. I'm selling a spectrum analyzer, but there is a risk in sending this off to company X and planning to get paid. Naturally Company X wants to check the instrument first, but even if I check BBB records, I don't have much recourse with a company in another state if Company X offers a very low amount and claims the instrument is damaged.

There have been a number of incidents on ebay where the buyer removed parts from equipment, then said it was non-functional and returned it.

Have you used forms of escrow for deals involving over $4000, or just been lucky? I have sold expensive instruments to small companies before with good results, but I'm curious what transaction methods others may have used.

Thank you.
