content: Quote from: Isad on July 26, 2015, 05:10:43 pmOP has stated that it was bought from Batronix. They are currently selling them brand new for 224 € +VAT with free shipping, so asking 219 € plus shipping for a used one is very optimistic. Particularly since it's a rubbish scope.

content: kiraITPlease consider my advice.There is a very old saying in sales: "Your first loss is your best loss"What this means is that when you sell something and you believe it will no be at the price you want, it is best to accept the first offer that is less than you want. Usually as time goes on the prices you will be offered will be lower as the value of the item for sale gets lower and lower over time.The normal price for a piece of used equipment is 50% to maybe 75% of the new value. With a piece of electronic technology the value of an item can drop very quickly because of the fast race to cheaper and more advanced new product.Your oscilloscope is not worth very much today I'm afraid. It is definitely not worth what you are asking, sorry. I suggest that you consider selling it for 50% of what you are asking, or less, and try to make the shipping as low as you can, or even include it in a price around 60% of what you are asking. I know you don't want to hear this. Most people don't. If this pricing is not to your liking then I think you find you will have it on your hands for a long time.You might get someone to overbid on it on ebay. That is probably your best bet to try and get a higher price.

content: You are trying to sell a Fisher Price toy to informed members of an electronics forum who know all the best gear at the best prices.Why did you not get something like the DS1054Z in the first place? (don't forget the EEVBlog discount). It would have kept its value far more than the Owon. So total cost of ownership is less even if it costs slightly more

content: Quote from: AcHmed99 on July 26, 2015, 09:51:27 pmI know just where you are coming from. I think TopLoser suffers from one of those Neat & Tidy OCD's (the polar opposite of Dave and most of us I expect!)The poor chap has to get rid of stuffeven beforeit has landed on his immaculate desk in his pristine office. He is bombarded by loads of electronic shite from Farnell's customers day in day out, enough to cause a nervous breakdown to a lesser mortal.Now it has to be said! We have a very charitable community indeed who offer to unload the heavy burden from his shoulders, and perhaps donate a few shekels just to keep up the pretense that TopLoser is running a viable business. It's a sort of "Care in the Community".However, may I ask that some of the more enthusiastic EEVbloggers allow some of us other charitable folk a small chance of caring and sharing? It seems within 10 nanoseconds of TopLoser announcing getting shut of tat it has all gone

I have one myself, I bought it with the aim of keeping it as it was decent bang for buck at the time but I'm not expecting to sell it on for much and I'll probably keep it til it dies..

content: Quote from: kiraIT on July 26, 2015, 08:46:26 pmDon't take anything personal, the internet is just like this - it's a price you pay for being on a public platform. As they say, you just have to "grow a pair" and handle it.I just recently sold my Uni-T (Tenma 72-8230 rebrand) at a mere €135. It was 60 MHz, dual channel, better specifications (500 MSPS) with just a smaller screen. Like new, in box with all the accessories. :/And as others have mentioned the SDS5032E is €224 new:http://www.batronix.com/shop/oscilloscopes/Owon-SDS5032E.html

content: Place it on ebay for 1 Euro starting price and see where the bidding goes.The price you will get is the real value this instrument has.You might be surprised, that the bidding will stop at less than 50% of your asking price.But you also never know, someone might be willing to bid more.And again:The price you will get is the real value this instrument has!Not more!Not less.

content: Quote from: kiraIT on July 27, 2015, 01:16:40 pmThat is not promoting. First rule: if people say the price is too high don't respond. They are not the buyers you are looking for. Now you have created a mud fight which has scared away potential buyers. Your price seems to be slightly below the going price on Ebay for brand new ones. I'd wait for the auction to end and then drop the price if it doesn't sell. I usually do this 2 or 3 times and then have a final auction clearly stated in the description. If something doesn't sell after that I just keep it or flog it somewhere else.

At this point, I don't think you can pay someone here to take it off your hands. You might be better served to find a forum that shares your attitude. No one here does. You might find inspiration in my tag line, then again, you might not.

content: Hey Kira,I have DS1052E for sale, i don't put it here, because here most "know" what they want/need. Here, they are well informed and its unlikely you are will get top dollar. My suggestion is put it on yourlocal marketplace(thats what i do) and try to get a reasonable price. You need someone that likes a scope for "fun" and a bit of experimenting. Any more serious hobbyist wants straight away a 50 -but more likely- a 100 or 200 Mhz scope.Every months new stuff is released (with more features and lower prices), so the value of these type of scopes are only moving one direction, and thats down. You wait a few more months, but you are probably ending up getting nothing and it stands there collecting dust. Maybe its better to have a bit less, then you end up using it for partsGood luck with the sales.My $0.02
