content: Listing hereI offered $90.00 (listed at $180.00) for the one pictured and it was accepted instantly. It is in very good condition and performs to spec. 4 more left and I would try $75.00 as a first offer. $30.00 shipping is not the best but was packaged well and arrived in one day fedex.No connection with the seller, just thought some may be interested

content: Quote from: PA0PBZ on June 27, 2014, 07:52:49 pmThe shipping weight is about 20 pounds... the cheapest way to ship a package that weight to the Netherlands is USPS @ $77... add the eBay commission and you're at $85. Doesn't the GSP give you tracking? That's worth something.

content: Quote from: edavid on July 02, 2014, 03:04:55 pmThat's strange, because the calculation on ebay shows different:Shipping: $53.61 International Priority Shipping to NetherlandsImport charges: $42.91 (amount confirmed at checkout)But maybe I should not blame the GSP in this case, it's just too expensive to get it here.

content: Its all gone! BTW thanks to robrenz I now own both a 6114a and 6115a but not through this deal, but waited over the past 2 years and bidded them during that time for ~$60 and $90 respectively +25-30 for shipping.

content: I so wanted to get three of these (300Vs of precision output, yes please). Tried to get him down low in price, just cuoldn't get him low enough (I couldn't get him <$300 after shipping). Oh well, glad some people here got some.

content: Quote from: robrenz on July 03, 2014, 09:02:45 pmit is a really under-appreciated point on these supplies. They are surprisingly dynamic. Need 300V, wire them in series, need more current, wire them in parallel, need +/- 100V wire them for series tracking.

content: Quote from: taemun on July 05, 2014, 09:28:12 amI did send him a message on eBay, but I have received no response from him. Also note that he's kept the shipping cost at $30, but changed the shipping method to ground. So he's now asking $70 more and providing worse shipping. No thanks.
