I'm not sure how much you paid, but for a 10MHz scope you could do a lot worse than these:

thanks for your time and reply.
that particular item...'This seller has set buyer requirements for this item and will only sell to buyers who meet those requirements.'. very odd.
in the right direction now. cheers.

No worries.

Odd, presumably it's on number of feedbacks or something. Sometimes if you contact the seller with 'Ask a quesiton...' first, they are more accomodating. Worth a try.

Similar items are available at similar prices on ebay from Hong Kong but oviously you have to wait.

I wouldn't go above 60MHz probe frequency rating as the higher frequency ones tend to have a smaller range on scope input capacitance compensation (and of course are a bit more expensive).

been on ebay since 2004 and have a 100% rating (505 transactions it seems...) will have to go down the HK route. thanks for your help.
