In other news, the Tek 2245A I sold on ebay here in AUS went for $410. I offered free postage/freight to Mel/Syd/Canberra metro locations. About 50 watchers, 470 views.
The auction winner bid only once, 6 seconds before the end of the auction. There were 23 bids.
Again the winner bid only once, 12 seconds before the end when I sold the Tek 434 a week ago.
I think if you want to win the ebay auction you need to be decisive.
This is a surprise to me, I did not think I'd get $410.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Tektronix-2245A-Oscilloscope-/330977568374These posts relating to ebay sales of mine are to show how deep the demand is for a decent Tek CRO here in AUS.
I think there is a chance to make some money by bringing a few tonnes of Tek CROs over here in a shipping container and selling them one by one.
a short container cost from Los Angeles to Melbourne is about $2,400. You could pack a lot of scopes in a 20 foot container.
Plus trucking, plus packing the container, buying at US auctions, etc., etc.
