Hougen Magnetic drill stand

Description

General Statement:
We are unable fully to test the unit/item, so it is listed as "not working as intended and sells AS-IS for parts or repair".
Please don't try to repair or disassemble or alter the Hougen stand unless you plan to keep it.
We make high resolution photos in case we have to dispute issues with customers.
The pictures in this listing are pictures of the actual unit/item. None of the pictures are altered in any way.  Please take a good look at the pictures. You will receive exactly what you see in the pictures. Please ask any questions you might have prior to your purchase, and I'll be happy to provide answers if I can.
It is the buyer's responsibility to read all the information in this listing, including to carefully read, consider, and agree to the following information regarding returns, item descriptions, shipping, etc.  With any purchase made from this seller, the buyer enters into and agrees to all policies described herein.
Returns:
This return policy applies to any item I sell, but is especially applicable to what I deem as higher-priced items and electronics, or items with high risk to sell and ship. Please read this policy carefully before purchasing!  First, you have 3 business days from when you receive the unit/item to contact me about any issue you might have with the unit/item, and all contact must be made in writing through Ebay.  In cases where the unit/item is insured for the full purchase price, you will be required to directly sign for the shipment upon delivery.  Therefore, when you receive the unit, and prior to signing for it, first inspect the outside packaging to ensure there is no damage.  I will photograph the package - including any security tape or stickers I've applied - prior to shipping it, which will help you determine if any damage occurs during shipment.  Signing for a damaged shipment without claiming damage will void the shipping insurance and any potential for a claim, and will void this return policy and/or any potential for returns. If damage should occur in shipping, it's your responsibility to decline the shipment and open a case with the shipping agency immediately.
After accepting the item, open the package carefully and retain the original packaging.  You'll find that the unit/item likely has tamper evident tape or stickers, and these must be left intact as you inspect the unit/item.  This is to ensure that the unit or item is not tampered with in any way after it is received by the buyer.  I don't wish to offend any potential buyer, as I value my customers, but I need to protect myself from any potential damage that might be done from someone opening or otherwise tampering with a unit or item I've shipped.  It also ensures for me that an item or unit remains in resellable condition, should I agree to accept a return.  Unfortunately, fraud does sometimes occur on Ebay, and I must protect myself from potential fraudulent losses. So, if you receive a unit or item that you think is in any way not as described or pictured, do not open the unit/item, or otherwise tamper with it in any way (for example, to try to fix a problem), because this will immediately void any potential for the item's return. Again, all tamper evident tape and/or stickers on the unit/item must be left intact, and any evidence they've been tampered with in any way will void any chance of returning the unit/item.
In any case where I might agree to accept a return, returns would be by refund only - absolutely no exchanges. The buyer would be responsible for all shipping charges. Also, the buyer must insure the unit for the full purchase price, and ship it securely enough that it will not be damaged in shipment. Also, any returns must be in the original packaging as received by the buyer. Once I receive an item back, I will provide a refund within 3 business days from receipt of delivery.
Item Descriptions:
I do my best to describe the unit/item(s) for sale, but in some cases it's possible my conclusions about product details may not be correct. However, that is why is most cases the unit/item is listed "AS-IS for parts or repair", leaving you to draw your own conclusions about the unit/item. In many cases I cannot offer help or support or answer specific questions regarding the unit/item. What I believe and know about the product is already in the listing (though if something isn’t clear I will do my best to answer general questions).
In order to avoid claims that the item is not as described "I have to state", in addition to what's in the Ebay item description, the following: "Might have scratches, dents, chips, cuts, nicks, scuffs or other marks, writing or stickers or sticker residue, dirt or other different defects that can range from something small to big. This is an item that does not function as intended and is not fully operational (or is non-functional). This includes items that are defective in ways that render them difficult to use, items that do not power on, items that require service or repair, damaged items, items with unknown issues, items missing essential components, or items whose operational condition is unknown because they cannot be tested due to missing parts or know-how. In addition to the issues mentioned already, this item might have other undisclosed issues that we are not aware of."
Shipping Details:
We do not try to make (or lose) money on our S/H cost, but rather strive to offer quality shipping at a fair price.  We use some recycled materials (and/or sometimes new materials upon request), as well as peanuts and bubble wrap to try and pack our items securely. I can't offer next day or super fast shipping, and it often takes more than one day for me to get to the post office, because selling items on Ebay is not my primary business and I don't have helpers or employees. Also, please note that shipping is limited to addresses within the contiguous United States, only.
