--- Quote from: JonM on January 05, 2018, 02:14:58 am ---TestEquity gave me 5% off on a Keysight scope and also went out of their way on an Agilent trade-in so I am inclined to buy the DMM from them as well. I expect them to call sometime in the next few days.

I've had good experience with TestEquity, and bought my 34465A from them.  Ask for 10% off MSRP.

Great tip on the 10%. I got an email offer from TesEquity today for the 2018 Keysight calendar. I filled out the form indicating that I was interested in buying a 34465A. Maybe that will trigger a call. The sales engineer used to call me occasionally but I have not heard from him for a while. Maybe it is because I moved to a different region.

Today I ordered the 34465A with DIG & MEM options. I got the 10% off just by asking for a quote. I told them to not install the options just in case a Free MEM promotion appears and I can return the license. However, since they seem to be getting only batches of 35 meters, and I am in the second upcoming batch, there is probably no reason for a promotion at this point. I will probably not get delivery until mid-April. It will be a race between the 121GW and 34465A...

You could also grab a fully optioned 34470A for nearly the same price after haggling.

Well, that is interesting. I had checked the Keysight eBay store several times and never saw a 34465A or 34470A.

This 34470A is $621 more than the new 34465A I have on order. Maybe I would have gone for it, but the 30 warranty is a bit worrisome, and I certainly have no need for the GPB option (I never want to use GPIB again...).

I would not expect Keysight to haggle on eBay Store prices, but maybe they do?

They will always negotiate a little. The 34470A uses the LTZ1000A which is nice to have.

They absolutely do take offers. I have purchased several items from them, never at asking price. Based on experience, I'd be surprised if they don't give you at least 10% off.

I ordered one of these Ex-demo units and I got 19% off, just If anyone else is making offers on them...  :-+
Oliver said 2kUSD was absolute lowest, he could go and I tried to haggle a bit more, but no luck.

The 30days warrenty is a chance to take, but the DSOX3024T, I bought like this, haven't let me down yet and as it is ex-demo units, I'll take my chance on it and just hope it won't go  :-BROKE
