Junk or jewels?

摘要

Iread an article recently about the dangers of buying used material handling equipment. While it made several g'ood points, I was bothered by our industry's practice of using a single term to cover everything from scrap to mint condition merchandise. People just slap a "used" label on all previously owned equipment, turning it into a pure commodity where price is the only difference between a good buy and a bad one.
