content: 700 GBP is a pretty high price considering what you can buy from Rigol or Siglent with this money.

content: There's an option to make offer.It does seem a tad high, but even broken TDS3000 scopes regularly fetch $500+ so this may not be too far out of line. I've never used a TDS2000 series so I don't know how they compare. They lack the TekProbe interface which is something that makes the 3000 desirable but they do have the 4:3 display, a USB port and the Tek name and interface design which are all selling points.Bottom line is it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

content: it is high, you can get some of the tds3xxx series for lessI've played with theses series, they are basic, BUT have an useful function for the B series, the AUTORANGE voltage, something the 3k series should have addedWhen you do repetitives measurements, you wont play as much with the controls, but need a little time to set

content: Maybe there is still people want to spend hundreds of euro for the brand name for sentimental reasons. Or need 200MHz but insisting not to hack Rigol or Siglent for moral reason. I understand that, please feel free.The 2.5kpts memory is a big no-go for me, given a deep memory is so useful and the Chinese scopes can offer 3 orders of magnitude more for 799 EUR.

content: Are you looking to make a derisory low offer on this or just want to trash any potential sale?If you think the price is too high (or low!) then perhaps a PM explaining that would be more appropriate than rubbishing the sale in public.

content: Quote from: PlainName on December 09, 2022, 01:15:22 pmAgreed. It is not done to take a piss on what people offer to sell. BTW: people who think Rigol & Siglent offer the same for less are going to learn a hard lesson at some point. Pay peanuts and you get monkeys.

content: I would say not rude if explained the right way, and not in a pmFor myself, i did say respectfully it is kinda high priced, but still a good scope, and being honest with the pricing doesnt hurt, if done correctly, the OP did not make any comment and pushed it to ebayTime will tell if he's right or wrong ... he's added an make an offer option .....I've seen good stuff on Ebay having an hard time to be sold after so many "put it back to auction after many attempts" because the pricing was not right.just a matter of doing some homework to check used stuff pricings ... and get an general idea of asking some selling price.I tried to sell an fluke 105 serie II scope here, it was not a success, i pushed it to ebay at a very resonable price and was sold, the price was calculated slighlty higher because of the ebay fee's

content: I thought it's very common to be outspoken for shortcomings and prices on this board and this is not discouraged. It doesn't only serve sellers but also buyers.Anyway, it is indeed kind of rude spoiling others sale. I'll stop here.

content: Quote from: coromonadalix on December 10, 2022, 12:54:17 pmPeople here are typically looking for a bargain, ebay is where you go if you want top dollar. As you mention, the fees take a significant chunk out of that so items need to be priced accordingly.
