Never heard that term before. Had to Google it. Must be one of those quaint English terms.  ;D

And what about the 2465 I stole last month for $60 USD? Doesn't that qualify?

Yes it does, you jammy git, fact is that so many of us are jammy gits at different times because either we are in the right place at the right or we are such good negotiators. I think however the jammiest git of us all has to be Ero-Shan with that massive dumpster diving haul of his last year  |O

So what's the story ? What did he found in the dumpster ?

Try looking at post #2765 and theres quite a few after that as well, but take your time, its easy to miss some of the postings.

There was a nice Sony 1080p camcorder system going ut the price on jumped right up at the end, it was cliffhanger watching 2 buyers trying outbit and outwit each other with last second bids. I dropped out when I could see how that was going. Shame because it have been nice to take that some airshows and make my own DVD's up. :popcorn:

Keep an eye out for half decent DSLRs on eBay. Got me a Nikon D3200 body a while ago for £80. That does full 1080p video. Lens turn up for a reasonable amount as well. Haven’t used the damn thing yet bar a run round Kew Gardens.

My local auction house has a "seized stock" section, and that often has high-end cameras in it. They typically go for 75% of the fleabay price, or 50% above the range suggested by the auction house.

The "unclaimed property" (presumably from airport security and/or customs seizures) is much cheaper; bundles of Kindles, knives and perfume seem common.

Interesting, which auction house is it and where is it please?

It certainly does.

Henceforth, we shall refer to you and Specmaster as "jammy git" and "jammier git" until a better theft in broad daylight deal is related on this forum. You two can fight over top billing; I'll sell popcorn & beer while streaming the video live.

I think the Statute of Limitations has def run out on that one... IMHO, as no "dealing" was involved, that's really more a case of "Lucky arse-whole" than "jammy git", you jammy git.  :-DD

I think that I was a jammy bastard on this deal because I wasn't desperate for yet another meter, seeing as I'm well placed for decent bench meters with a really good Keithley 160 (nixie) 3.5 digit and 4 good 4.5 digit meters from Philips, Solartron, and HP and an excellent 5.5 one from HP so I wasn't bothered about letting this 8840A go so I thought I'd try and see if I was to play it a bit more casual, what would happen, the rest is history. I think it also is a very big help if you get in very early before anyone else spots the deals.  :-+

bitseeker:
Yep, it's all good, Spec. There's always the next one.
