On 4/5/2022, I contacted "The XRF Company" via their website to sell them a Viking Pb200i XRF Analyzer. They claim to return your inquiring in less than 24 hours. Two days later, on 4/7/2022, I was contacted by Alessandro via email. He thanked me for contacting the company and asked if the unit worked properly, serial #, working source, etc.. We emailed back and forth until he asked how much I want for the unit. I told him at least $15,500 as I paid $19,000 for the unit 1.5 years ago. His response was: "We can buy a new one for $13,500 with one year warranty and fresh source. We are willing to offer 5k. If agreed, we will mail a certified check today."
These units absolutely DO NOT sell for $13,500 - an outright LIE!
At this time, I looked on their website and they are selling the same exact used unit as mine for $16,990. Here is the link to that sale:

As of this writing, the link is good.
This company is trying to rip me off!
This company advertises on their website: "Trust, Empathy, Authority, Character, and Honest." Really?
On 4/7/2022, I forwarded the email conversation to Troy - Managing Director of the company for his response. Of course, he responded in defense of "Alex." He claimed Alex made a mistake on the price of a new unit. Then Troy offered me 6K for the unit!!!! What???
Clearly this company is not interested in doing business fairly. I hate to say they are a RIP OFF company, but the facts above speak for themselves!
Anyone wishing to view the email conversations, just ask.
If dealing with this company, proceed with caution! read more
