Triggering support on the Saleae (I own one) is a joke compared to the 167xx.   
Tony_G:
Agreed on the bashing thread thing but I am going to share the thing that did it for me.

For many years I sold gear that I acquired that were "surplus to my needs" without problem (one or two, here or there, never a big issue) but what broke me was when I sold a working HP 8663A (passed the Keysight calibration tests) and got whatever they called a "Unit not as shown" and the photos that the buyer used showed a unit that looked like it was tossed off the back of a truck - Funnily the pictures of the box showed it in almost pristine condition - They wanted to return & refund.

Fortunately, I had the delivery insured so FedEx paid out (and strangely returned the unit to me, it's now sitting in storage) - I'm firm in the belief, that the buyer used my unit as a parts mule to fix theirs and then claimed "Unit not as shown" as a way of getting their money back.

YMMV, I just don't think the return on my time is worth it anymore, and certainly not for these units.

Also true and agreed to unconditionally - I actually logged an issue with them on this early in the product lifecycle and as far as I can tell they never bothered to address it.

So you're not out any money.  You probably need to move on :-)
I've had plenty of bad eBay experiences (with their employees).   

Is it worth my time to part these out, list on eBay, vs giving them away.   That's a time-vs-money discussion and everyone has their own subjective opinion :-)
Tony_G:
Oh, I agree with the moving on part but it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth - Just the brazenness of what they were doing floored me - They didn't care, I could have been on the hook for the whole price as they certainly didn't call me and ask if I had everything insured before they asked eBay to give them their money back.
