I previously posted elsewhere about my success in the 1st ITT Tech auction. It was my first time doing one of these things. The bulk of the schools' inventory went in 3 large auctions (Florida, Maryland, & Oklahoma). I've already sold everything I don't plan to keep aside from maybe 8 Rigol 1102E's & a couple GDS-2102's. I put in some bids in the last auction in Lake Mary, Florida but was unwilling to chase the lots further at the prices they reached. The last few lots seemed to mostly be leftover facilities that they were unable to relocate inventory in time for the earlier larger auctions. The last lots went for prices that will not be very competitive with what was already up on eBay. I recognized several bidder numbers from the first ITT Tech that had won some of the largest lots and they all wisely bowed out early on as bids got a little silly. Can't be sure, but the GDM-8251A and the GPD-3303S seemed to be the 2 most prevalent items across all auctions. The largest lot I remember seeing of 8251A's was 120 units. 3303S was 100 units. Have to consider many more were sold as single items or in lots of 2,3,4,5,8,10,20,& 40. I know not everything that sold was destined for eBay, but there are a few sellers I've been watching that I suspect have larger inventory waiting for everyone else to sell out so they can try a higher price without as much competition. Cost of storage must not be much of a factor for them or they paid too much to begin with. Other sellers seem to be more into passing these on as quickly as they can and move on to the next thing even if they take a loss here and there. I still haven't seen many of certain models (like the GDS-830 or some of the GW Instek or TTI spectrum analysers) go up for sale yet. The original eBay sellers are probably getting low by now on things like the Rigol DG-1022's/A's, DS1102E's/D's, and maybe GW Instek GDM-8251A's, GPD-3303S, GDS-2102. I think there should be a good number of GOS-6112 oscilloscopes around for awhile.
