Agilent Technologies Inc. has signed an agreement with eBay, allowing sellers to offer pre-owned test equipment that has been assured through the new Agilent Advantage Assurance program.

The program gives customers the option to purchase on eBay Agilent test equipment that has been evaluated and fully calibrated by Agilent to meet performance specifications. The program also provides one year of free technical support from Agilent.

"This is the first time a test and measurement manufacturer has offered customers such a comprehensive program for pre-owned equipment," says Bill Highstreet, vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Financial Solutions Unit. "Customers are looking for value-priced pre-owned equipment but are concerned about unknown quality. The Agilent Advantage Assurance program instills confidence in customers who purchase pre-owned test equipment on eBay."

"The Agilent Advantage Assurance program provides an added level of assurance to our growing community of buyers and sellers," adds Jordan Glazier, general manager at eBay Business. "Sellers are able to offer their customers products that are validated by Agilent, while buyers can make a more confident and informed purchase on eBay."
