The answer is, "Maybe they're really more expensive than we are." Ask yourself why you're purchasing a piece of test or measurement equipment. The answer is obvious: to give meaningful, precise, repeatable readings and results. Professionals know that the real cost of a piece of equipment isn't only the initial cost, it's the long-term cost, which often includes repair, searching for hard-to-find parts, calibration and of course production down-time when the instrument is off line. So if it's described as calibrated and certified by us there will be no "as-is" descriptions, no "we plugged it in and it powers up" descriptions, no "it came from a working environment" words and no "we don't have the time and expertise to test this item" statements from us, because all of those words may translate to "this is a piece of junk," and we don't sell junk.
