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

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.

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
