content: I'm selling a like new Agilent Infiniivision DSOX2012A with WaveGen ($500) and Education Kit ($500) upgrades. It's going on Ebay soon, but I thought I'd give you guys a chance first. $2000 OBO. Shipping is free if you're in the US. Comes with all original parts/accessories and in the original packaging. The warranty hasn't been registered yet so you could register it for yourself.

content: I bought WaveGen because I needed it. I bought the education kit because I'm a newbie and use it to learn about the signals, triggering, etc. I wasn't sure what a fair price was which is why I listed it as OBO. I do know that without the upgrades the scope is $1494 new so I don't think my asking price is too far off.

content: Quote from: ToBeFrank on June 02, 2011, 04:04:45 pmWell I know at least one who did get it as a simple student ... Although it was for a much more expensive 3000-X model, maybe they give it easier if you pay more ..Anyway, the EDK is nice to get to know the scope (just follow the lab guide), but you have plenty of time to do that with the free 14 days trial and after that it's much less useful (unless you are effectively in education ...).Finally, Agilent also have an offer where if you're not satisfied, for any reason, you can return the scope no questions asked ... why don't you do that and get back full price and then buy the one you really want ? (have never heard of any one using this offer, just noticed it on their page).

content: Quote from: tnt on June 02, 2011, 04:31:24 pmRegardless, unless you're in education, you do NOT get those options for free. Besides, if you do qualify as education, why would you buy used anyway? You get 15% off the cost of a brand new scope! If it makes you feel better, I'll say it plainly... if you're an education customer, don't buy my scope. You can get a better deal with Agilent. If you're not, you won't get a better deal.QuoteIn your opinion. I find it very useful (and so did Dave). Besides, since I listed as OBO, I'm basically giving that option away for free.Quote"Agilent will replace it with the other vendor’s oscilloscope at no cost to you."They don't just give you your money back.
