| 22:27.42 | DocScrutinizer05 | hey, news spead fast :-) |
| 22:27.53 | DocScrutinizer05 | alas bidding is a PITA |
| 22:28.14 | DocScrutinizer05 | and even more so is shipping/pick-up |
| 22:29.53 | DocScrutinizer05 | you're maybe lucky to get some nice gadget, then it sits in Oulu and you have to pick it up until 04-17 the latest. And you have no idea what the guys offering to do that for you will ask for that |
| 22:30.39 | DocScrutinizer05 | they could ask basically any amount they like, since you don't have much alternatives |
| 22:31.16 | DocScrutinizer05 | travel to Oulu and pick it up personally |
| 22:33.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | also the product descriptions are pathetic. Generally you're prolly lucky when you get *anything* with the bare bones unit you bid for. No probes with scopes, no manuals, no sw licenses. when you're lucky the device looks moderately OK and even works |
| 22:38.14 | whitequark | DocScrutinizer05: for that price for some of the tech I would not hesitate to get a ticket and fly there tomorrow |
| 22:39.22 | DocScrutinizer05 | indeed |
| 22:39.42 | DocScrutinizer05 | but I guess some big guys will rush in and buy en gros |
| 22:39.58 | whitequark | eh, if you never try, you never get |
| 22:40.10 | whitequark | I would think not; the big guys have grants/funding |
| 22:40.29 | whitequark | which makes them care less about breadcrumbs like this and also more constrained in choice |
| 22:50.42 | DocScrutinizer05 | this "breadcrumbs" is an auction of ~1200 mostly high class electronic lab items that can go for magnitudes higher price at eBay |
| 22:51.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | so the big guys I'm talking of are those who professionally sell "refurbished" electronics for ~50% of original sales price |

| 23:17.23 | whitequark | oh, so liquidators |
| 23:17.26 | whitequark | yes, good point |
| 23:18.07 | whitequark | well... assuming they want a nonzero profit, you can still outbid them, no? |
