I used one for years and years. Never let me down.
I'd say $200 is an absolute steal providing that it works properly.

I’d buy that in a heartbeat. Old TDS220 goes for that here.

Ask to see self test pass.

Price is good,  but the TBS1104 is basically the same as the old TDS220 series with a colour LCD.  Low waveform point count (<3K iirc), no intensity grading, no serial decode functions, limited trigger options.
I would personally get a used DS1052E over a TBS1104, or if you could afford it a DS1054Z.

Indeed. To note I'd only buy it at that price because I can probably sell it for more  :-DD

(my daily driver is a TDS210 for ref and that's all I need)
