I bought a supposedly brand new unopened Agilent 82357B from nettcy168 on eBay. nettcy168 is located in China. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261397671097 I had offered $118. The serial number is MY49450765 and the date on the box is 20141016 (which is September 10, 2014). But according the the Keysight website (thank you rfeecs for providing the link in post #49), this serial number date back from 2009. I contacted nettcy168 through eBay. I explained to him that the item I received was counterfeit. nettcy168 wanted me to return the counterfeit 82357B to an address in United States (he did not offer to pay for the return) and he claimed he would reimburse me once I would provide him the tracking number. I pointed to nettcy168 the eBay rule against selling counterfeit item and the fact that eBay does not require to return a counterfeit item (it would make no sense to return a counterfeit item anyway). One hour later nettcy168 refunded me. Counterfeiting is illegal. Everybody who bought a counterfeit Agilent 82357B on eBay should open a claim to be fully reimbursed. |

It is still hard to believe, that someone would go through all the trouble and counterfeiting such an item. |

But E V E R Y T H I N G is manufactured in China now. This where WE moved our manufacturing. There is 1.3 billion people in China; their market is huge. It seems that if there is a market for something; there is a profit to be made by counterfeiting it. |

Not helped by the absurd margins Agilent & NI expect on their gear. If it was manufactured in the USA then fair enough, but the corporate scum want to sack all their western staff, pay peanuts to china, then sell it back to us for even more than they used to charge because Danaher, buying out competition, monopolisation, etc... What the MBA dickwads don't understand is when you give your crown jewels to any Tom, Dick or Harry in China, India, etc... don't expect to hold on to them for long. :popcorn: |
