FWIW, Joe, I don't blame you either. I will admit to using E-pay as an
occasional reference, but I also take other factors into account. Example:
If someone wants an 11/23 board or something, I'm not about to ask for the
"collector" price. That would be silly.
Last summer, I actually did buy an HP 545 logic probe from a guy who had
it on E-pay. I was the only bidder at its asking price of around $25.
They do turn up. Just be aware that there was a nearly identical model to
the 545 that was only for ECL circuits, and the physical appearance
(outside of the model number) is no different.
