The 34401A seems unfeasibly cheap, given it didn't get bought within the first 30 seconds of being listed.
When something seems too good to be true, it usually is...
No you didn't read me properly !
There is NO "buy" button on this ad, so unless the seller removes the ad by himself if he sold it... the ad will stay there forever ! There is no expiry date on ads on this site.
99% of the time when a cheap good stuff is online with no buy button, it's just that the seller a) didn't bother removing the ad or b) it's sold but he is still waiting to receive hjis check in the post, take it to his bank, then wait at least 3 days for it to clear. So usually even if the thing is sold instantly, the ad can easily stay on-line for 10 days.
This is most likely what's happening here, but I won't know until the guy replies to me and/or the ad gets deleted...
Yeah, I got it, but if it were me selling it I'd take the ad down the instant the sale was final, otherwise I'd be spammed to death!
Ah. Well, it's not how people here work... you would be surprised all the weird and nonsensical seller do on this site. You just can not apply logic or reason or science to the way they do things and react to your inputs... they are not like us nerds who use maths and facts to compute what we should do. No. Not at all.
I have enough experience on this site now (and of French people) to know that absolutely anything can happen... good or bad.
Sometimes, people will post their ad, then leav for a week or two on hols, and check their account only when they get back home 2 weeks later, and when they face all the e-mails, they read them top to bottom of course.. which means that the LAST guy who replied to his add, will get replied to first, and get the item... and then when he gets to his last e-mail hence see what the FIRST / quickest buyer said... he will just reply "oh sorry it's already sold I didn't see that you e-mailed me first !! "
It happened to me once or twice. Once, guy said "too bad", other time guy was decent and corrected his mistake.
From what I see here for theses two pieces of TE, I might be in this particular scenario : been 24 hourss now and the seller still has not logged to his account to read my message !
So clearly not in a hurry...
What also happens is, they wait for 3 days to get lots of e-mails, and they take the highest "bidder"... even though it's not an auction, it's supposed to be a fixed price...
Really, there are a multitude of scenarios I have witnessed, some really weird.
So for now, I can't say much... still need to wait for the seller to read my message to begin with...
FWIW I just now missed an LD300, the winner had to pay £310.[/color][/size][/b]
That would be close to the 400 Euros seller wants for his LD400...
Might be on the lookout for a less powerful but cheaper TTi load.. don't need 400 Watts and don't need 80 amps.
How I am on a budget so... if I can find a less powerful model so I can get it cheaper AND trade current for a high voltage excursion... I would both save money and have a more useful / versatile unit.
