Yes, and Siglent is the only brand I could find with a quick search that is sold by Amazon.

Siglent NA's Amazon shop actually selling as Siglent Technologies.

I can't find a single Siglent item that is not sold by Amazon actually.

Sure, provided it's not faulty or otherwise unusable.

Would anyone have an objection to returning a FNIRSI or Hantek DSO2X1X scope?  I doubt it.  Of course if one followed the posts on this forum, why would one even buy either, but that's a moot point.  Not everyone reads this forum.

However, even buying a $1000 scope, should one keep it and try to resell it if they find the UI totally unacceptable?  Or some other flaw/"feature" that was buried by the specs?  Would it be dishonest to return such a thing?

Yes return it if you do think you made a mistake. Here in the EU the consumer law is that one can return items within 14 days for any reason. This is specifically so you can return goods you found lacking.

But that was not the question stated in the original post. If you buy multiple items without any intent to keep more than one item, you may be abusing the system. But I am not going to judge anyone.

I once heard that clothing stores were having problems with people that would buy clothing for a party and then return the items for a full refund. Is that any different? The laws is to protect consumers, but it is open for abuse and everyone pays a higher price due to that.

As with most things legal/moral; "intent" is the key.   I only buy things I intend to keep.  Others do not.  A product defect or fault does not change one's initial purchase intent.
