content: did Nokia closed a factory in Italy as well ?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Keithley-2015-THD-Multimetro-Digitale-6-1-2-Digit-DMM-Total-Harmonic-Distortion-/251500130907?pt=Attrezzature_per_DJ&hash=item3a8e93725bhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Keithley-2306-Dual-battery-Charger-Simulator-Power-Supply-2-CH-15-V-5-A-/111309684808?pt=Attrezzature_per_DJ&hash=item19ea930048same items as the Korean auction - but from Italy on ebayactually those 2015s are looking good - the THD part would be useless for me, but the 6 1/2 digit DMM would be nicebut anyways i would not pay more than $200 for such a DMM abused in a factory for who knows how long

content: Quote from: PedroDaGr8 on August 13, 2014, 10:02:45 pmI was sarcastic about the auction, I'm not sure if there is going to be one, my main point was that Nokia/Microsoft is closing some labsDavid.

content: Quote from: KJDS on August 13, 2014, 11:12:02 pmmost probably i'll never ever get one for $200but actually i don't even need it (would be nice, but not a must for me) so therefore i'm not willing to pay more for such a meter.but anyways, they have so many of them in the auction that i don't expect an average price higher than $500

content: Hi there !I am one of the many that won something on this auction. All seemed easy when making the bids.. but now problem arises : the winner should organize the shipping of the item from Korea.Does someone had experience in the past with something like that and can give suggestions to me ?I think my next step is to contact dhl and ask for a quote, to pickup items in korea and take it to me :-)thanks, regards!Dave

content: DHL charges per 100g or part therof. You would be better contacting a Chinese mover. IIRC they dismantled an entire steel plant in Germany, shipped it back in containers to China and reassembled it again, complete with signage and buildings. It was working in months, and they even packed the garbage bins along with everything else in the plant. Basically they only left a bare piece of ground where it was.
