content: I think it's time to say goodbye to my greatly over powered scope.As I'm moving to China, I have to say goodbye to some of my gears, including this one.It's too valuable, at current Chinese import tax rate, it will run me $10k+ on import tax.Plus I have no idea how much do I have to pay for the paper works for both US high tech export and China customs clearing.I prefer to thus get rid of it, and buy a less powerful one for lower import tax.Anyway I'm not using its 6GHz capability. For 100% of the time, I measure less than 1GHz signal, so that's all what I need.Options: 6GHz, APPBNDL, currently in warranty.PM with your offer.@Daniel, are you guys buying scopes back? I'm sure Oliver would like to see something new in his stock.//Edit: sold.

content: Quote from: Mr. Scram on March 24, 2019, 10:21:37 pmSimilar thought process goes when someone crosses the border to Brasil - get rid of the obvious and/or more recognizable products and cross with the obscure/hidden stuff. Although, for a border agent in Brasil, any bare PCB is considered a high end video graphics card - thus ensuing a hefty fine or tax.

content: Gah $15k is a smoking deal. They ask $14,800 for a brand new one with base 1Ghz, only 2ch, no mso, and no options. Just under $50k for a new one fully kitted out like that...

content: Quote from: blueskull on March 31, 2019, 02:57:06 ami didnt expect a company will be interested in 2nd hand market as well, but recently a fiber optic company quickly grabbed a 5GHz DDA-5005A from me for just under $3K, that is a 10 yrs old scope. if i know this i should upped the price earlier

content: I can see this happening in peripheral markets - in the US, not so much (where blueskull is located ATM)Gear is terribly expensive and sometimes companies may get something used if there is an immediate need.

content: I am buying used equipment all the time for my own business.And a few years ago, I bought my MSOX6004A on ebay Germany for an unbelievable price that I better never mention.Since new instruments got so expensive, many businesses I know, have bought used equipment. And even when it fails, the repair or a second instrument is cheaper than a new one. It seems to be the trend.
