Right, and they sell to regular schmucks on Ebay. They have an official store for used items.  :wtf:

Check out the Keysight store ebay listings, they all start with this now "For professional and industrial use only. "

But they didn't say that when I bought stuff from them!

If I can remember I'll send a message (question) to the store and ask them if a home user/hobbyist can buy and get support for a purchase.

I'm not sure ebay allow such limitations.

They claim to only sell through distributors that only sell to businesses. However this is clearly not the case. Some have it buried in the small print and don't enforce it, some don't.


jonpaul:
Bonjour: We had no issue on support or service recently in USA on Keysight 34465A.

Expect same from all large firms in the future, except the Chinese.

It is a legal issues: The lawyers are afraid of liability lawsuits especially in USA and EU.



Kind Regards,



Jon
