content: Hello,I have decided to sell my Rigol DS2102 (100% like new condition) that has been successfully hacked (with serial number still intact, so no issues) to include ALL possible paid options (licenses for every option). If you were to total the cost of a Rigol DS2102, with all options, it's roughly $1700 US dollars...but this oscilloscope isn't really a Rigol DS2102...since the bandwidth has also been upgraded from 100MHz to 200MHz. So, the oscilloscope I'm selling is the same thing as a Rigol DS2202 (including all paid options)...which would typically cost roughly $2000 US dollars. I hope that this description makes sense to you, as it could probably be explained in clearer termsRegardless, the oscilloscope is in 100% like new condition, with absolutely zero problems. To be completely honest, this scope hasn't really been used...since I predominantly use my Tektronix 475 oscilloscope. I need to receive $900 US dollars, plus actual shipping cost, to sell the oscilloscope to you. I will not charge you more than the actual shipping cost, plus materials, to ship the oscilloscope. I can guarantee, this scope is in the same exact condition as any brand new retail Rigol oscilloscope, so look at this sale as an opportunity to save yourself some money on a bad ass oscilloscope. Plus, the oscilloscope will arrive with ALL the original retail items, also in 100% like new condition, and everything will arrive in the original retail box.I have seller references: positive feedback on this forum (from two weeks ago), positive feedback on a popular gaming forum, and my eBay account has a 100% rating too.I'll ship using United States Postal Service (i.e. USPS) "Priority Mail," which will include signature confirmation, tracking number, and insurance. I'm a friendly guy, so I'll gladly send you pictures of the DS2102 (upon request). I know that when I buy something, I usually want it last week...so to speak, so I promise you I will ship the oscilloscope within 24 hours ofclearedpayment. I would prefer payment by PayPal, but please note thatI will only ship to a PayPal Verified Address(this is not likely to be a problem, if you have a PayPal account, but it's important nevertheless). I hope that I covered all pertinent information, and I look forward to talking to you about finding a new home for my Rigol DS2102 oscilloscopeThanks-JimmyMz-

content: Anyone on this site can buy the DS2072 brand new for even less money and hack it themselves for free. You're probably better off advertising it on eBay where customers don't know that this 200MHz pimped out scope doesn't demand a $2000 price tag anymore.

content: Quote from: olsenn on October 25, 2013, 04:39:56 pmolsenn, I have not priced my Rigol DS2102 as though it has all the options. I priced it as though it was a typical Rigol DS2102, but I have informed the potential buyer that they will get far more than a typical DS2102. The large perks to this sale are money saving, no hacking will need to be done, AND the buyer doesn't have to wait for their local distributor to get the oscilloscope in stock (which appears to be an ongoing trend). Thanks for replying, but if you intend to reply again, could you instead PM me, so I could keep this thread unclustered with philosophical thoughts? Thanks again-JimmyMz-

content: If anything the fact it has been hacked detracts slightly from the value, as it could cause complications with warranty issues.I would take it at $800 if shipping to Australia was possible and reasonable, being that exams are on right now it makes it a little harder to spend this kind of money on anything.

content: Quote from: oaliey on October 26, 2013, 12:27:59 pmNo, the lisenses for all paid options does not devalue the oscilloscope, because the serial number is still intact, and you could easily revert the scope back to stock options. Also, a member on this forum sent his hacked Rigol scope in for repairs, and he had zero issues with having licenses for each and every paid option...even though he never paid for the options. I have sent you a PM on a Price Quote.

content: Unless the DS2072/DS2102 comes with 200MHz probes, your bandwidth could still be limited with the hack. Anyone know if the same probes are shipped with all versions?

content: Sure it is. He disclosed what he had done and is selling the scope without hiding anything. The buyer knows so what is wrong? If you are wondering about the hacking itself, well this discussion has happened before a couple of times in other threads.
