Yes ebay is not the right place to buy one of this beast ... unless you what to go the TiN way.
Happy new year to all of you.
I found my "almost new" 3458A on ebay and I am totally happy with it.
If you take the time to look around and ask the seller lots of questions, eventually you will find a good one.
But the restrictions of 2017 will probably change all of that.
So, I am happy to have a good working one.
Also, it might be difficult, starting today, to get a used one imported in to the EU.
Only time will tell
