content: Hi,It's my 1st time posting at the EEVBlog forum although I've been following Dave's YouTube channel for quite some time.As an electronics beginner I'm posting to get some feedback to buy a (used?) analog oscilloscope. I would like to keep it under 120 US$. Here's what I could find so far at Ebay.co.uk:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEWLETT-PACKARD-HP-1740A-2-CHANNEL-100MHz-OSCILLOSCOPE-/171649849252?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item27f720d7a4http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Topward-7021-Oscilloscope-/171658650241?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item27f7a72281http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/tektronix-oscilloscope-2445A-150mhz-/271751480611?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item3f45a68523http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kikusui-60-MHz-3-Channel-Oscilloscope-COS5060-/221668719507?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item339c7c3b93(expiring very soon)http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kikusui-60-MHz-Oscilloscope-/231460133395?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item35e4195a13(also expiring very soon)http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-4-Channel-Oscilloscope-PM-3264-/291363489680?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item43d69e0790http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GWINSTEK-Dual-Trace-Oscilloscope-GOS-652G-/261749877190?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item3cf18229c6http://www.ebay.es/itm/Osciloscopio-Hameg-1007-/121553870241?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&hash=item1c4d2cdda1http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-PM-3543-Oscilloscope-Logicscope-Dual-Trace-PM-3543/251810326053?_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140221143405%26meid%3D0e7b32d7e5394ba6b32be0b1666b0642%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D151568579255("...not fully tested...")And just to complicate things a bit it'll be my 1st time buying anything from Ebay so if you have buying suggestions or key questions I should ask the seller I would very much appreciate it.I live in Portugal so delivery costs is something to also have in consideration.Thank you for your time.

content: Yeah, shipping costs might very easily surpass the oscilloscope itself. Anyway, I'll still try to find a good deal.Thanks for your replies.
