I'm still waiting for the day some weird niche, Rohde & Schwarz equipment I saw once and thought "that'd be cool to have" pops up on ebay. Unfortunately their stuff in ebay is still pretty expensive secondhand, unless it's something hardly anyone except hardcore hobbyists would want, like television demodulators. I do have some old Keysight stuff (well, most of it is HP and Agilent which ofc birthed Keysight) most of it was still several hundred dollars a price, mostly mid-80s-90s telecom equipment.

Old HP / Agilent / Keysight (aka HPAK) stuff does show up on Ebay for decent prices from time to time, so long as you don't need the specs of the latest and newest gear. And hobbyists usually don't. Personally all of the "purchased new" test equipment in my home lab is Rigol, and almost all of the "purchased used" is HPAK. It makes a nice balance. Now to score one of those HP 3458A's one of these days...
