content: Hmm usually these codes don't work for test equipment, but I put a DSOX3014T in my cart and the price dropped from $3990.00 to $3790.50. Not 15% but still a good discount (5%)Same with DSOXLAN and other accessories.

content: The "fine print" indicates certain contractual obligations will limit the coupon to less than 15% for some manufacturers....and yes, Keysight is limited to 5% off.

content: Unfortunately I can't find expiration dates.However, the "NEW15" code is for new customers only (the other code has no such restriction).Each code may only be used once per account.

content: Quote from: dadler on August 03, 2015, 04:32:43 pmThe 25% one day code for Zoro that was available last week gave a full 25% on EVERYTHING, including Keysight.Picked up the DSOXLAN from there for $302 shipped.Maybe there should be a discount code sticky....

content: Ah man, maybe we should be a discount code sticky!Off-topic but...I want DSOXLAN, DSOXT3B1T24, and N2747A. Tequipment won't special order them for me for some reason.Perhaps this 5% off is the best deal? I'd settle for someone who doesn't charge sales tax even, as that's 8.5% here.Anyone know of vendors that sell these for better than the 5% off currently from Newark (or no sales tax, I am in California)?

content: Quote from: dadler on August 03, 2015, 10:34:44 pmTestEquity has given me excellent quotes (much more than 5% off) for the first two items on your list. I also ran into the same problem trying to get bandwidth upgrades from Tequipment. I tried ordering a Keysight scope, but they couldn't verify they were "authorized" to include the free software bundle promotion, and they really don't seem to keep much if any Keysight stuff in stock.PM me if you want the email of the account rep I use.

content: Quote from: GlowingGhoul on August 03, 2015, 10:46:16 pmI actually ordered the DSOX3014T through Tequipment over the weekend.I certainly hope that I get the free software, as I had them verify that the scope was in stock with Keysight, and it's being drop shipped from Keysight to me.Since the scope is actually coming from Keysight I am going to lose my shit if I don't get the included software:QuoteNow you have me concernedI'm sure it will work out

content: Quote from: dadler on August 03, 2015, 11:03:13 pmI called them to get a quote on a couple of other items and they asked if I bought the scope I had requested an earlier quote on. I explained why I didn't buy it from them, and he immediately checked with Keysight on it and (too late for them to get the sale) they did confirm if bought through them it would include the bundle, so I'm sure you'll have no issues. Worked out better for me anyway since TestEquity was hundreds lower.

content: Ah cool.I'm hoping I didn't way overpay. TestEquity is in California so I have to pay 8.5% tax plus no EEVBlog discount. But if they gave you a really good price, perhaps I could have done better through them. I guess I should have got a quote.The main reason I rushed forward is that I knew Keysight only had two of these units in stock, with new stock not expected until mid September.Probably because they keep giving three of them away each month, for the drawing. I entered the drawing for this month, maybe I'll win that too!

content: I find that I save much more if I just request a quote from Element14 and specify my price. They usually agree. Like just yesterday I ordered a roll of cable with a list price at >$400/roll. I set my "target" price at $250 and they gladly accepted.

content: Well, I went ahead and used the 5% off to order the DSOXLAN and bandwidth upgrade. Didn't know how long the offer would last and couldn't find a better deal elsewhere. No response to the Newark quote.On an unrelated, positive note: Tequipment placed the drop-ship order with Keysight yesterday, and my new scope is now scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Sweet.

content: Argh, so my scope came without all of the free options installed?Should I just contact Keysight?I don't understand how they manage distribution of these sorts of things, when distributors maintain inventory that was boxed before the promotion started.
