Late night ebay shopping again. Had to reload the listing 5 times, just kept reading it over and over wondering what I was missing. The listing used a "stock" image and not the real product but the price was crazy low. I figured what the heck and clicked the buy it now button.

I was very pleased when this arrived today:

Agilent 85093C 300 kHz to 9 GHz 2 port E-Cal unit with male and female 3.5 mm connectors, the box, USB cable and both torque wrenches. Last cal was in 2016(not bad at all). All for the whopping price of $100 USD + $16.81 for shipping. I can only assume it was a pricing error as they are usually listed for 15 to 20 times that. I figured maybe they would just issue a refund but instead it was shipped. Not my best ebay deal, but it sure rates up there.

Once everything was warmed up I performed a cal using it and then connected my mechanical cal kit to both ports - the return loss looks excellent!
Now if only I can find a cheap one that happens to go to 26.5 GHz to match the full range of the VNA. :)

That is awesome....those little gems are $$$$$$

What VNA do you have?

Berni:
Now that's not a brain that's a steal!

Also curious about the VNA since the things are expensive even at a few Ghz and rapidly go up from there

You have been lucky many times.
Great catch!

I'm rather new to the field having only a bit over a year at community college as an electronics technician, so I've been trying to collect some basic pieces for my home setup. I have a few pieces of older equipment that I got pretty cheap from my sister's university to fix up and resell to pay for some newer gear to keep.  I'll have to double check the model numbers in the morning for some, but I have
a tektronix logic analyzer for $40,
a nicolet 3091 oscilloscope for $35, but the CRT doesn't work in it and it's only 500khz,
a HP 4329A high resistance meter for $10 that only needed the glass reglued (it was sold because someone grabbed it, pushed the glass in and wedged the meter in place but otherwise works fine),
two Tektronix CFG250 2mhz function generators for $10/ea,
and a tektronix CDM250 multimeter for $10.  These will be listed on ebay soon to fund the gear I bought that I plan to keep for myself.

So far for myself I've purchased
an Extech EX623 handheld DMM for $70,
a Bitscope BS310 USB Oscilloscope ("BS310 combines a dual channel digital storage oscilloscope and 8 channel logic analyzer with an arbitrary waveform generator, real-time spectrum analyzer and data recorder in a virtually indestructible package") for $150 + a free raspberry pi,
a GW Instek GDM-8251A multimeter for $170,
a Siglent SDS1202X-E oscilloscope for $150,
a GW INSTEK GPS-3303 power supply for $100

Not amazing deals, but so far I'm still able to make profit off the sales I think lol
