content: Hey all of you out here on this wonderful forum, i have been pondering with a question for a while now... Are there any discount offers for the adifruit web site? I was looking to pick up one of those Rigol ds1054's and i think that they are cjarging a lil too much versus other retailers. I do have the discount for tequipmment , but dont want to open yet another account. Any help would be appreciated ! Thank you all and Happy New Year!

content: You can get a good price from Tequipment. Works out ~$380 with eevblog discount. PM a member on the thread (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/special-price-for-eevblog-members/) to get the code.I wouldn't buy a scope from Adafruit/Sparkfun/etc to be honest because they're overpriced.

content: Quote from: biffm17 on January 02, 2015, 09:09:00 amSorry about that.As mentioned bypickle9000, the demand for these are high right now. So much so, it seems TEquipment is about selling out of units before they're even delivered to them by Rigol. AFAIK, everyone that's gotten one, has had to wait for delivery. Wait times aren't too bad though (order date to my door was 12 days to give you an idea; figure worst case *might* be ~ 4 weeks, but can't recall anyone waiting that long).So it seems you either pay the extra ~$74 at Adafruit if you want one in the time it takes to deliver it to you ($449, w/ free shipping over $200), or save money and wait a bit.
