Is a Keysight 3458A worth 2000EUR ?

@Pinkus, I take offense of being called publicly called stupid by a person who doesn't know me or had any previous contact with me. This is rude and you should take it back  .

Yes you are right. I've gone too far. Please accept my apologies.

Hi all,

I think there's another reason that makes it perfectly ligitimate to spend a lot of money on a 3458A broken or not.......and the reason is "just because"!
Some folks have expensive hobbies and/or have the money to throw around........and if that just happens to be taking a chance on a cheap'ish 3458A then so be it.
I see a lot of opinions on many forums etc of folks studying the financials.......but sometimes there just doesn't have to be.

IMHO.

Exactly.

No one buys a bass fishing boat after calculating how much money they'll spend per pound of bass eaten and deciding they can save money that way...

It seems they are sold and I am too late for this party.

Hopefully also one, who don't have 2-3 of them already...
