Need Help Selling Test Gear
I have two pieces that I need to sell. I have a tube HP 333A Distortion
Analyzer and a HP 1205B Oscilloscope that I do not need. I bought them used a few years ago and I never really needed them. I have a professional recording studio and my tech has his own gear so I actually never used the pieces. They appear physically in great shape and I have extensive manuals on both of them. Will sell separately. I have pix. Should I try to sell them here and in other newsgroups or should I go straight to ebay? Any thoughts or interested parties are appreciated. Thanks. -T |

Thanks. -T If you sell them on eBay, you will be once-and-done with them. If you sell them here (more-or-less anywhere on Usenet as it happens), you may 'own' them for a long time to come depending on your buyer. If you get my drift. Generally, if I want real money for something, I try to sell it face-to-face, so the buyer may kick the tires if desired. If I am selling a commodity-type item, eBay is fine. Careful, full and honest descriptions, disclosures and terms cover those needs. Otherwise, I try to give it away. Then there is no potential for strings attached. Writing only for myself, I would not purchase test equipment unless either the price was so low as to make even a bad unit OK, or I could observe it in actual operation, or it came from an absolutely trusted and known source. Good luck with it, whatever decision you make. Peter Wieck Wyncote, PA |

Good luck with it, whatever decision you make. I have bought a couple of HP 334A Distortion analyzers from E-Bay. They are pretty easy to calibrate. You should sell them as either "working but uncalibrated" or "Untested" Good luck Iain |
