What affects your offer
Calibration Status
In-cal with a current, traceable certificate is worth substantially more. Out-of-cal but working sells at a discount.
Completeness
Original probes, cables, leads, manuals, and cases add value. Missing probes or cal kits lower the offer.
Installed Options & Licenses
Bandwidth upgrades, added measurement personalities, channels, and memory are a large part of value.
Model Still Supported vs. Obsolete
Actively supported models with available calibration and parts resell fastest.
Frequency/Bandwidth Range & Spec Class
Higher-frequency RF and higher-bandwidth scopes command premiums.
Functional Condition
In-cal or out-of-cal status plus cosmetic condition matter. We do not buy non-working or for-parts units.
