content: HiI am selling an HP8591A spectrum analyzer, without tracking generator.Pictures can be provided by email or mms.Looking for bids above 5000 NOK, or round about 570-600 US dollars + shipping.The SpecAn is in Norway. (come and try before you buy)Prefer to sell in person, or short distance of shipment(Europe).(or we have to agree on a safe way of shipment)Please!!! No PM, or replies on forum. (will not catch my attention, sorry!)CALL, SMS or MMS: 0047 95945423E-MAIL: nex8686(at)gmail.comThe price point is considerably lower than on e-bay.This is because the instrument was given to me by the company I am working for. So I am not trying to make profit on this sale, just can`t give it away either...Instrument is in full working condition. Last cal was in 2010. I am not doing RF on my spare time anymore, so I am selling it.BR Øystein Karlsen.

content: +1, if you want to put an ad on a forum then you use the forum correctly - it's not hard to set up notifications to avoid the "will not catch your attention".And avoid posting your phone number and email or you'll get spammed to no end, which explains why the above.

content: Quote from: azer on March 04, 2016, 10:50:27 amIt's not that bad. I can only see one that sold for £435 + £25 shipping ($620 total) and would have cleared £400 after ebay and paypal fees ($540). Still not "considerably lower".

content: Respect is earned , not given #1This is a forum not ebay , with a classifieds for the users .You post ONLY a bid add with no pictures and say you do not want to talk to the forum , at least to me that's not only a lack of respect for the forum & users , it's an insult .I may be sensitive because of so much selfish / bad behavior in general populace these days that now that nerve is just worn outThen when you do come back you demand respect , I would say possible bad parenting , or a personality defect .I could also be falling off the deep end ?

content: My take on things was this fella has no interest in being apart of this forum but he has a piece of equipment he felt someone on this forum my be interested in buying. I messaged him about it and I have no problem with his lack of 'friendliness'. He just gave straight answers to questions and provided some really good pictures of the product. It wasn't what I was after for the price but if it had been then great. I was not looking for a friend out of the deal, just a piece of equipment.I would even say he tried to ensure good communication by indicating it was best people email him direct.
