content: All,I'm looking for a LeCroy WaveRunner2 LT 4ch scope (I sold mine a while ago but I'd really like to have another one). BW isn't that important (I'd prefer the 500MHz LT574 but I'd consider the 1GHz LT584 and even the 350MHz LT264 if the price is right), software options aren't, either. Must be the 4ch variant (I'm not interested in the 2ch version). Also I'm not interested in the predecessor WRLT.The scope should be in good and fully working condition. I'm not concerned if the LCD is a bit dim (they pretty much all are by now) but all channels must be working. Would be great if it came with the optional network card but not with a printer.I'm in the UK but I'd consider offers from pretty much anywhere as long as the price is reasonable for such an old scope.Rgds,WH

I just posted this in case a member has one and wants to get rid of it.WH

content: Quote from: BU508A on July 03, 2017, 09:05:03 amAre they insane?No offense but whoever pays €3750 + MWSt (VAT) for a 350MHz LT264M really needs his head examined - big time. That's even more ridiculous than some of the ebay asking prices. It's just idiotic for a scope that is between 13 and 16 years old and which, if it sells, usually goes for less than €1000.Their prices for other gear is equally ridiculous. Looks like another business that believes engineers are idiots and the internet doesn't exist.

content: Quote from: Wuerstchenhund on July 03, 2017, 09:17:31 amYes, thought the same. But they are in business since 30 years, obviously somebody is buying their stuff.This is another site in Germany for surplus stuff:http://www.rosenkranz-elektronik.de/They have a LT364 in stock, but no price visible (available on request). I'm afraid, that they are also asking for an insane amount of money.

content: Quote from: BU508A on July 03, 2017, 09:28:07 amWell, there's a saying that every day another moron is bornI'm sure someone buys something from them, but this isn't the 80's anymore where finding sources of 2nd hand test gear was difficult. Now there's an abundance of gear on the used market, available globally, and comparing prices has become pretty easy.QuoteOh yes, almost forgot about these jokers. They're the same category as instrumex - asking insane prices for old crap (if you want to have a laugh, go and ask what they would be willing to pay for such an instrument, and you'll find that suddenly the gear they want €4k for is only worth a few hundred EUR at most).Not saying a reseller can't make any money (if it was something like market value plus 20% it would be OK) but asking almost 50% of its original list price for an 13+yr old scope is a rip-off, plain and simple. These businesses prey on the clueless, which I find despicable. But the good news is that these days outfits like these tend not to do overly well as more and more of their customers die of old age or discover the internet, so there's a good chance they'll go down the drain. I say good riddance.So please, no more links from German 'Apotheken' or similar clown shows.

content: Thanks for your explanations.I am checking from time to time their websites (same as with Helmut Singer in Aachen or Rainer Foertig or Mr. Knopf (Knopf-HiFi in Düsseldorf)).Sometimes they came up with an interesting offer, but, yes, usually they are very expensive.If I'll spot a LeCroy Waverunner 2 LT-something which does not come from a "Apotheke", I'll let you know.Cheers,Andreas
