content: Well I haven't used it that much and it has just been sitting in the lab covered from dust by a cloth. Only used like 30 times max. What should the price be? How much would a new one cost, I forgot?

content: Since everyone knows analog scopes are way better than DSOs anyway, its essentially worthless...In the USA at least they still go for about 350 USD from a real distributor.http://www.tequipment.net/RigolDS1052E.htmlYou pose an interesting question though. I don't think I've ever seen a used one for sale before.

content: Sorry to hear you are quitting. I don't know your reason but maybe you'll come back one day!I'd say they retain value pretty well as long as you didn't physically destroy it. You could probably get away with close to $300USD I bet.

content: Yea....that's tough. If you have the original box, manual, bags, ect....I bet you could get $250 for it.Just the scope and probes and what ever - I wouldn't pay more then $200. And most likely I'd hope for less. I'm not being cheap - it's more that I'd rather pay full price and not take the chance on a bum scope.

content: I bought a DS1102E last week from emona.To consider a second hand scope from a beginners perspective I would want it to be pretty cheap particularly when you can buy them new for so little.I wouldn't pay more that $260 posted for an DS1052E. On the plus side compared to the new price you're not adding GST like Emona are.I view a scope as an investment though. If I stopped playing in electronics tomorrow I would keep my scope. It's just too useful.

content: Dear MintI don't think somebody can actually quit electronics that easily.Remember what got you in the first place interested in electronics.I believe that feeling is still in there hidden somewhere inside you.Myself, I stopped doing all electronics (not even following news/blogs/forums) for about 3-4 years,because other stuff in my life got in the way. But I didn't sell anything, I just stored my stuff away.Now I am back at it again, just got my first scope, fascinating instrument!So who knows, maybe in a year, two years, or more... you will see a project in google or youtube andthink "oh boy, that is interesting, I should try and build that" and get you excited about electronics again...Just like that... You could very well meet some new friend in a couple of months that he/she is also interested in electronicsand then you will have something in common to do together, and things will spark up again! (Pun intended!)So my advice is not to sell anything. Just wait, let time clear your head of any other problems you may have in your life.Unless of course you desperately need the money then OK sure, go ahead and sell everything.(Oh boy, how's that for an ending)George
