content: Just wanted to let you know, that I'm selling my barely used MSOX3104T scope, as it's much more of a scope than I have use for (and I need the money).If €3499 (reserve) or €4999 (buy now) seems like a fair price for a perfectly fine Touchscreen 1Ghz 4 channel mixed signal scope, you might want to take a look:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Keysight-MSOX3104T-Oszilloskop-4-16-Kanal-Touch-Screen-1-GHz-5-GSa-s-/252578197403Thanks in advance for reading, sharing and discussing!

content: €3499 seems to be fair for this scope and you will probably sell it for that price.But keep in mind, Germans are on fall holidays right now.

content: I think its got some movement yet. It appears to have those nice expensive MSO cables with it. My guess is it reaches 4000 euros easy.

content: If you're from Germany, have you asked Rosenkranz-Elektronik for an offer? According to their website they are one of Keysights "Trade in" Partners for used T&M gear. You probably would get significantly more than 3500€ for that scope...http://www.rosenkranz-elektronik.com/

content: Quote from: Augustus on October 19, 2016, 03:39:24 pmI don't think they would offer a lot more - Keysight are selling them for about $6500 premium refurbished with new cal certificate and with full 3y warranty - but shipping and duty inclusive for most parts of the western world. No 2nd hand shop would offer more than about 40-50% of current 2nd hand market rate - especially when no VAT invoice is available. They would need to sell it for less than Keysight - and would have to add/include provision for VAT. So I do not think they would offer much more than about Euro 3000,- for it (which is 50% of Keysight current price for fully refurbished)

content: Quote from: kaz911 on October 19, 2016, 04:50:35 pmI guess it's too late to contact Rosenkranz anyway.Regarding warranty and calibration, I think it's not much worse than with an official reseller: Keysight warranty is valid until october 2019, and the calibration certificate dates from from april 2016.

content: Quote from: kaz911 on October 19, 2016, 04:50:35 pmDidn't the Keysight Scopemonth prizes come fully loaded with options? Usually (although not always) the KS store scopes have no options.Imthink the OP was reasonable with their auction pricing, a nice change. There's way too much overpriced nonsense on ebay!Maybe Martin (mjlorton) will adjust some of his auction pricing as a result? He has a loaded MSOX3054T priced at $8k BIN at the moment, it seems mighty high.

content: I see it finished at EUR 4,763.56.There were a couple of snipers pushing up the price in the last 7 seconds, but the winner put in a decent bid 2 days earlier. This was a good combination of bidders.You have done well.... and the winner got a bargain. Everyone happy!

content: Quote from: Howardlong on October 21, 2016, 12:34:03 amUnfortunately not. And as a newbie to the scope world, I can say that I found it rather strange, to see so many (even rather basic) software features factored out into costly optional extras.I was so disappointed about the missing features, that I thought about asking Keysight for an upgrade or hacking the scope. But at that time I was almost decided to sell it, and didn't want to steal their potential upgrading profits.One last tip for all those waiting for next scope month:If you really want to win, remember that you can (and should) enter not just once, but every day.

content: Quote from: univ on October 21, 2016, 01:53:27 amDon't forget you have to pay around 10% to Paypal and Ebay so keep some money apart to pay for the auction fees. Paypal will take their cut when the money is transferred.

content: Quote from: nctnico on October 21, 2016, 03:05:23 pmRight. That's why I did not offer Paypal. Bank transfers are just so much cheaper (at last where I live).Also saves me from trouble with fraudulent buyers, and doesn't create the pretense of buying without risk.
