Why Pricing for Used RF Equipment Varies (And How We Keep It Fair)
There is no single “market price” for pre-owned RF instruments. Five factors drive every quote we issue:
- OEM brand and model generation — A current-production Keysight N5172B EXG vector signal generator holds value differently than a legacy Agilent E4421 ESG with comparable output range.
- Frequency range and installed options — An R&S SMBV100A covering 9 kHz – 3.2 GHz costs measurably less than the 6 GHz variant of the same platform. Every licensed software option adds to the price.
- Calibration status — Units shipped with a fresh ILAC-traceable calibration certificate carry a premium over “as-is” instruments. That premium is typically 8–15 % of the unit price.
- Warranty length — We offer 6- or 12-month warranties. Longer coverage adjusts the quote upward, but protects the investment.
- Cosmetic grade — Rack-mounted instruments with minor panel wear cost less than units in near-mint condition. Measurement performance is identical after recalibration.
New vs. Used: The Cost-Saving Math
Buying certified pre-owned RF equipment typically saves 40–70 % compared to OEM list price. Real-category examples from our current stock:
- Spectrum analysers — A new mid-range analyser lists around €25,000–€45,000. Equivalent used units with 12-month warranty start from approximately €9,000–€18,000.
- Vector network analysers — New VNAs in the 6–9 GHz range often exceed €30,000. Pre-owned Agilent PNA-series models (E8357A at 6 GHz, E8358A at 9 GHz) are available from roughly €7,000–€15,000.
- Signal generators — A new R&S SMBV100A (6 GHz) lists above €20,000. Certified pre-owned units from our stock start at approximately €6,500–€10,000 depending on installed options.
Same measurement performance. Same traceable calibration. Fraction of the cost. The savings fund additional probes, accessories, or a second unit for redundancy.
