content: Quote from: HighVoltage on September 03, 2024, 04:37:47 pmUsed TE in the UK has gone up due to dealers/traders & flippers, most of the bargains get found by them. There are also twats that buy up TE bargains, break it up and try to sell each PCBorpart for more than the price they paid for the whole thing.The same is probably happening in most countries, the only bargains that are left are those that are collection only, this limits the number of traders that can be bothered.David

content: Quote from: factory on September 04, 2024, 05:29:38 pmIt is indeed the same everywhere else. Sadly, merely buying and reselling later at an increased price, without any value added whatsoever, has become a valid business model. It is a pity because the market would be just better without them. It isn't only an "arguably net loss" it's just nothing but a loss for everyone but them. Scalping is just another way of trying to make others work so you don't have to.Just to clarify, buying bulk, then checking and reselling smalldoesadd value.

content: Quote from: coromonadalix on September 04, 2024, 05:37:40 pmIt is probably part # 03458-60221 which Keysight sells (excl VAT) for US$ 730 (to "business customers").https://www.keysight.com/us/en/ecom/parts/part-detail.html/03458-60221I think they actually made a small change to the display window after introducting "the black edition" - it seems the latest display windows have the logo in red; the second newest windows - the first to be branded "Keysight" - have the logo in white, see:https://www.keysight.com/se/en/ecom/parts/part-detail.html/03458-49331And of course, historically, there was the Agilent and hp-branded ones also. Sigh ... I have to shell out for the "red ones" (03458-49341) to keep current.Also, there is a new part number for the VFD display board (03458-66537), that has been released after the introduction of the black edition. When looking at the 3458A webpage I think they may have increased the character size somewhat, but it's hard to tell. Maybe there's someone in the know ...
