I tipped a (non-forum member) friend who was in the market. They got it for 999 even. Thank you for posting this.

I imagine the seller now needed the money...
My offers were 900 and 1000 and they were not accepted two days ago. I just tried...
didn't really need one... plan was to sell other stuff or to flip it... still think as a daily horse my 34411a is the best.
That said I know some 34465A units brand new from Keysight have some drifts/problems (
interesting discussion here for example) so it was not a 100% risk free purchase.
Testing 100% such a 6.5 beast is not trivial.
I wish your friend all the best and a lot of joy with his new 34465A black puppy, hopefully it was a good deal as other buyers stated in ebay!
