Telonic's £145 (no VAT) is a few quid less than the £148 you've seen abroad. Either Telonic are making a vanishningly small margin, or the place you saw the £148 is quite expensive (perhaps the 'free' shipping is pricey for them). Either way you'll be miles better off sourcing from the UK/Telonic - I've bought a few bits of Rigol/Micsig from them over the years, they've always been good. At least they've dropped the "free firmware check value £25" bollox. |

So, there's a reasonable saving, if you don't mind the warranty risk. |

Oh got some customs hell now. This is a fine example of a brexit bonus. So I sold something on eBay. To someone in the UK. So this is a UK to UK delivery. But due to some stupid unibrowed morons at UPS they shipped it in a cage to Frankfurt. And now to route it back to the UK it needs to go through customs and of course there’s a fee on that and no customs declaration attached because it’s a UK domestic package! It’s gone basically. Fortunately only £65 but it’s a shit show which certainly doesn’t do my reputation as a seller any good. |

That’s weird. Was it to NI? |
