content: On another note, that seller sucks. I tried to make a deal with them for an 8664A signal generator they had listed on fleabay for a great price. Then at some point in the proceedings after I had called to talk about it, they jacked up the initially quoted price way up suddenly and acted like they were doing me a huge favor because their cal/repair lab "really didn't want to work on it". Translation: all they have in stock is broken and they don't give a shit. I didn't return their subsequent calls. 0/10 would not do business with them again.

content: Their used prices are also typically very high. I haven't bought anything because they refuse to budge on anything. Like $3500/ea for Datron 1062'shttps://www.ebay.com/itm/Datron-1062-Autocal-Digital-Multimeter/382616477508

content: They also like to "lose" or "can't find" equipment after it sells on ebay for starting price.Happened to me a few years ago with some higher end Tek TLA plugins.

content: There was already a thread removed which talked about this specific ebay seller, not surprising since they themself then claimed to be "quick to litigate" in the thread.

content: Not that I'd be likely to look at their listings anyway since I'm typically looking for bargains in need of a little TLC but I'll add them to my ebay blacklist proactively.

content: Can't confirm the opinions here.Two weeks ago we got two LeCroy AP022 2.5 GHz active probes from them. Perfect condition with box including all accessories and good price.In January we bought a LeCroy SDA6020 from them and they were absolutely fair. I knew before the unit needed maintainance.Regards, Dieter
