LF: An up to date eBay price list
For example, the 1S1 and 1S2 haven't been seen in a long time on eBay, there are none in the "completed listings" and only one 1S1 that's been listed for months. Who kept tabs on prices in the last few years?

There is a fine market in TM500, 24xx scopes TM5000 and 7000 scopes and plugins.
The 500 series is huge and power hungry, now over 60 years old. Most interesting to collectors and restoration folk. VERY bad to ship, cost >> value and easy to arrive damaged. Ebay is the wrong venue. Best place to find is ham radio fleas or Craigs List local. Jon

Thanks, I guess that's in Euros?

The plugins are small and easier to ship. I think the best years were from 2000-2015. There were 500 series plugins by the truckload and not too expensive. And there aren't necessarily bargains locally either

Hi snapdiode,

yes, in Euros. Prices for TEK equipment tend to be a lot higher in Europe due to less stuff available here. Cheers, Jochen DH6FAZ Am 18.12.2020 um 17:27 schrieb snapdiode via groups.io:

Ad says, "This quality test equipment comes with a custom rolling stand, the users manual and 40 [extra?] tubes." By that statement I surmise, the seller is clueless, or greedy, or both. The big draw, for the audio squirrels is "tubes" and the seller appears to know it. But who knows... I've seen people asking for far more... and very indignant towards the messenger: when their informed they're dreaming.

When dealing with strangers and haggling about a price, the simple approach is simply "I offer X" and wait for the reply. There's no need for anything else. Anyone who has a Tek 500-series can see the value of saving on shipping, for example, or have a parts mule with a CRT...

Hi Keith,
I am restoring two 545B's and have for them one working 1A1 and two (not working?) 1S1 plugins. Would love to get at least one more useful plugin, then one 1S1 will be surplus to my requirements, unless kept for spares. Also have a late made in Holland (with readout and fan) 7603 with two 7A18 (one with DC offset); one 7B53A, and a now surplus working 7B53AN. For this 7603 I would again love to get a fancier plugin like a nice RF spectrum analyser! This 7603 came from Canada; carriage was indeed expensive. Regards, David Collier Canberra

Any time an E-Bay or other Advertisement begins with "vintage", "rare" or "collectable" the sellers are many times clueless or greedy and have priced their items way above any reasonable value. Like the recent listing that I was looking at that showed a 465 that obviously had almost all the knobs gone AND many of the shafts were gone as well. So there was no way that this thing was even a good "parts mule" and they were asking something like $175 with "free" shipping to USA only. Sellers can ASK as much as they like, it does not mean they will get their price. I agree with snapdiode, just offer X number of $$ and leave it there.

Hi Michael,
An Australian firm is offering a 7L5 (7000 series 5MHz spectrum analyser plugin) for a mere A$2,750. This strikes me as excessive, but they say it has 'better filters' than a Rigol SA. Regards
