content: QuoteIf you look at their completed listings the do seem to sell most of their items. Admittedly $130 for that Fluke or $399 for the HP PSU is fantasy territory but a lot of the items are merely well work.Some, however not even robrenz could restore.

content: Quote from: paul on May 17, 2014, 06:22:16 pmOh shit, I know that bastard, fortunately uses the same ugly page layout all the time, so I certainly won't buy anything from him ever again.A few years ago, I bought a used 85662A display section for a 8566B spectrum analyzer that was described slightly used and 'unable to test' and looked really nice from the outside. The inside looked as if it had a swim in the dead sea, salt corrosion everywhere, total loss. But not a single word or photo in the description about that.
