Literally if the return is open and it's received and the label is registered then they will have a hard job disputing the return even if you shit on it before you send it back.

I'll admit I am tempted.  >:D

I suspect they were trying to "accidentally forget" and evade paying for the return label, which is why I hung a lantern on the fact I didn't have it yet, so couldn't return the scope.

I refused to even acknowledge the rest of the obvious attempt at weaseling out.  ::)

That said; there was a return label in my eBay inbox today, so it will go back shortly. I am sorely tempted to snurch something from it as a "asshole tax" on these fuckwidgets... but I've promised to return it exactly as I received it.

Wouldn't be enough. On my tariff "arsehole tax" is £190/hr uplift over my usual rates, so say $225 USD uplift.

Amen!  :-+

Sadly, that is the big gamble one takes shopping on fleaBay... the waste of one's most precious resource: time.

*notification chirp on phone*



Oh dear... this is a conundrum. It appears eBay closed the dispute and issued a refund as soon as I printed the return label. The money is already back in my account... and I haven't even boxed the thing up yet.

Honest dwagon... 100% asshole tax... honest dwagon... 100% asshole tax...

TL;DR : it went rather well overall.

Well let's see if that gives me a job or not  :-//

Hopefully the fact they revealed the extra position, and a better position too, to you is a good thing. I would assume if they weren't impressed that they wouldn't be giving you that info...

Wait until the seller asks, if they don't ask then don't send. ;)
Vince:
One for Dragon if he lived here... An Agilent 54622D.

He advertised it originally IIRC a couple weeks ago at 350, greedy. But this week he dropped it all of a sudden to 200, unusual around here.

Euro is weak because of the war, it's 1:1 now.

So at 200 Euros here, it's 200 USD.
Guy says he is open to negotiating the price within reason... not 30% off obviously, but around 10% probably... so say 175 Bucks.


More than you paid for your ebay turd, but :

- It's the 100MHz version
- All the bits are there !   :-DD
- It actually works !
- Comes even with the original digital cable and grabbers for the digital section.
- comes with x2 passive probes but don't know if they are Agilent or not, could ask.
- Comes with user manual and programming manual, actual original hard copies.
- He is willing to ship.

I wonder how much shipping and duty taxes would be for that scope.... prohibitive I would imagine ...oh well...

If one knows, and gets on with, the local UPS/whatever guy the tactic for this one would be (1) hand it over, (2) get formal acknowledgement that it's shipped, (3) meantime tell the UP/whatever guy your tale of woe, as blokes are want to do between themselves, and (4) drop hints that it would be *cough* terribly unfortunate if this happened to accidentally get re-routed via the Marshall Islands.
