content: Quote from: marshallh on June 14, 2013, 08:40:44 pmIt was designed to qualify for the same (US) government RFP as the Tek 465M, so it's roughly similar. However, it's not a copy - it has a different design, and more features than the 465 or 465M. Really a nice scope, although I don't think I'd pay more than $100 for one.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on June 26, 2013, 03:34:06 amPretty much all I've been finding on Ebay-US in the sub 200$ range is "for parts" "as-is turns on but not guaranteed to work" or one with a diagnostic screen that says "failed". Or something that looks like WWII surplus.Craigslist in my area so far has nothing cheaper than $500 and I don't think I've seen a single DSO for sale there.

content: Quote from: Stonent on June 27, 2013, 11:53:01 pmLocal retailers are lobbying hard to get the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applied to overseas purchases which are currently exempt if they are under $1000 AU, as goods they sell have it applied. It's currently at 10%

content: This place is a tresure trove for a tech starved Aussie foragerhttp://www.govliquidation.com/auction/search?cmd=results&words=oscilloscope.As I read the export restrictions they might just ship to Australia ?But the thought of dealing with bureaucrats and 2-3 months for delivery really makes me nervous. - If it takes 2-3 hours to get into the US at LAX how long is it going to take to clear a really dangerous item like a 20 year old CRO ?

content: Quote from: AlfBaz on June 28, 2013, 01:43:32 amI don't care, I got a lot of my photo gear from overseas and 10% GST wouldn't make much difference as these local retailers are charging 70-300% more. On the other hand there are some local retailers with reasonable prices and I'm glad to pay 10-40% premium to support local business and get the product over the counter or in few days rather than 3 weeks waiting on overseas purchase.
