A couple of years ago on another forum, a guy decided he was getting out of the microcontroller and electronics hobby. He wanted to sell his entire collection of stuff for $250. After a few days, I offered $225 shipped and he accepted.
I ended up selling most of the stuff on eBay. I stopped once I had recovered my $225 investment. What I had left (among other minor items) was a Parallax Optascope 81M USB oscilloscope, which still works to this day, and a brand new, never used and still in the original box, Hakko FX-888 (the analog version).
Since I already had two soldering irons, including a Hakko 937, the FX-888 is still unused, just sitting on a shelf in its box.
