content: Hi all,i read many topics on the forum since few week to try to choose a scope. I conclude the Rigol ds1054z is still the best value for money (and the 4 channels are a big + for me) but unfortunatly my budget is limited to 250€-300€ (tax included). I didn't find any coupon code for french oscilloscope seller too.I'm looking every days web sites like ebay or "leboncoin.fr" but i never saw a used Rigol ds1054z.Does someone know where i could find good opportunity for a french buyer ?Thank youKrissFr

content: Salut KrissFr,since the DS1000Z series is on the market for just over two years and presents very good value for the money, most people that bought one will hold on to it. Right now, I do not see many people selling this, because there are no competing models from other manufacturers. You need to be very lucky to get one for the price range you specified.Je vous souhaite une belle lundi de Pâques!Frederik

content: Well if you wait a few months, you can probably save up enough money to just buy a new one. If your budget is lower, there are some deals out there on older CRT based DSOs, they're bigger and heavier but some of them work fine.

content: @KrissFr: yeah, at the rigol clearance, the scope is a bit more expensive. But if I recall correctly, it's with full warranty, so I bought mine there (I think for ~ 360,-).There were a few rigol's available in the mikrocontroller market subforum over the last months. But most of the time, they are gone within minutes or hours.So it's correct, that rigol scope's are very hard to find. Had to wait a few months before I found mine.There were also a few discounts available during electronic expos and such. Batronix and elector had rigols available IIRC.I had also seen some rigol's on ebay uk, but with the shipping you won't save much.

content: I think with these modern low cost DSOs there is very little profit margin, so prices just don't get much cheaper than the regular retail price. Also they're new enough that they have not really lost much value yet, in order to find deals on used equipment, there has to be better stuff available new that people are upgrading to. Scopes usually need to be about 10-15 years old before prices really come down.
