Damn, well, it's the difference between £83 for two PSUs and £50 for two. I'm not complaining, if they arrive I'll be shocked!
I bought 20V x 5A and 60V x 2.5A. I should have got 30V x 5A but did not see it.

I'm guessing TopLoser's going to order 20 of them...

Just purchased one

to the US $67.19 including shipping Just got the order confirmation

I will see if it arrives...... Otherwise FNB will be getting a call about reversing a CC payment. As FNB is the official ZA partner of PP all I can lose is a phone call, and some time. At best I get a 72V PSU.

Just hope it is not one from that famous Israeli seller.

I took good advantage of the shipping discount, can't deny it!

Expecting a refund pretty soon, but if you don't gamble you don't win do you?

I'm certain it's a bot gone wrong, another 8 got listed (2 of each)
Time in Sydney is 04:13 right now so I guess the seller will have a little surprise when they wake up...
500 Keithley PSUs for $5000+shipping.

Seems they are all gone now, not surprised though.
Had finger poised over the buy button on the 60volt(was 2left), bottled it (have two HP PSU) and they disappeared before my eyes.

Good luck with it guys, hope the kit come through

Edit: Yes there are more now!

Will these go through?
Have they entered into a consumer contract now, or can the just duck out anytime?

Sorry, that was me

The 60 V was the one I really wanted. I already have a dozen other supplies in my lab, but none up to 60 V.

Yes they had just added 3x 2 more units when I checked: http://stores.ebay.com.au/Street-AutoParts/_i.html?_nkw=KEITHLEY&submit=Search&_sid=147358973
A minute later they were all gone again.
Edit: An now there's stock again.

It's 4:26 AM in Sydney, Australia right now, so I doubt it's actually a person updating stock all the time and giving buyers feedback. It's probably some bot.

I got a 30V/5A AU$67 shipped to my house... Hopefully it is not an empty lunchbox...

MadTux · « **Reply #59 on:** November 12, 2014, 05:29:45 pm »

That dude or a bot keeps adding Keithley PSUs all the time.
Also the fact that he has 14k ratings and 200k items in the shop is fishy.

mtdoc · « **Reply #60 on:** November 12, 2014, 05:31:03 pm »

Yep, gotta feed the addiction. Just went for a 60V version. Low odds but what the heck, eBay buyer prtoection and all..

These power supplies weigh over 7kg.

I wonder if everyone will receive a 7 kg stone in a box.

It will probably be a good idea to video record while opening the box (if it arrives), as documentation to eBay if there's just a stone in the box.

Dave wake up, you are missing all the action

Yago · « **Reply #63 on:** November 12, 2014, 05:36:44 pm »

Well I ended up with a 32volt one.

Looks upward and wonders what the outcome of this will be!

TheBay · « **Reply #64 on:** November 12, 2014, 05:37:49 pm »

Someone should wake Dave up $:=\$

m100 · « **Reply #65 on:** November 12, 2014, 05:41:29 pm »

It proves that Keithley have really got their pricing wrong, drop it low enough and they can clearly sell hundreds

I wish I could lay my hands on a 60 or 72 volt one, I'd even pay $20

It's Dave selling them, as lesson for not listening to his warning!

$20!
You're just showing off now! :p

tom66 · « **Reply #67 on:** November 12, 2014, 05:46:54 pm »

Really no reason to record it. EBay will pretty much refund as long as the seller doesn't keep you satisfied. I've sold items on eBay before and it's very much in the buyer's favour, there are lots of scammy eBay buyers out there.

KJDS · « **Reply #68 on:** November 12, 2014, 05:57:05 pm »

I've just bought half a dozen, I suspect I'll never see them but there's only one lot of postage to pay. No idea what the VAT bill might come to if customs decides to charge full rate on them.

Ah crap, even if it works there's still the b*****rd government to take a cut!!!!

Thought I was late at the party... but it seems to relist and relist and relist...
Got one just for fun!

briandorey · « **Reply #71 on:** November 12, 2014, 06:10:50 pm »

Just paid for a 60V, 2.5A one to come to the UK, be interesting to see if it turns up

KJDS · « **Reply #72 on:** November 12, 2014, 06:15:09 pm »

In three or four hours, someone is going to twig as they get into work and find out what's happened.

I'm hoping there's a chance that some will get shipped out before they've had enough coffee to work out what's going on.

Haha! but it's still worth it
