David,
It is understandable that you are disappointed that it turns out this
seller is offering the 10811 - 60111 version instead of the 10811 A model that
you were looking for. But if you look at your question to him objectively, I
think one can reasonably see that he took your question with regard to the
output frequency.
from the link you cited to: "Q: Hi, Can you confirm it is a 10MHz HP 10811A -
have you checked to see if 10MHz is present? I can see the 10811 in the
picture, but it looks like a list of numbers folllows this, and not the letter
A I'm converned this is perhaps a special, at an odd freqency, and not the
standard 10MHz 10811A. Is there any where it actually says 10811A on the
package? Can you give me a price to ship to the UK. Address would be Department
of Medical Physics Mallet Place Engineering Building University College London
London WC1E 6BT England

A: The 10mhz output was tested with a oscilloscope. It is not a special.
Shipping to you business address is $32.00US. We also have a HP10811-60111 we
can send you for the same ending auction price. Good luck bidding

Most eBay surplus electronics seller have little knowledge about such
matters as the fine differences between the stability of an "A" model versus a
-60111 version of a 10811. As you might guess, most of these are simply
"pulls" from old counters (most commonly the military version of the 5328A) or
the like.
While it is certainly informative that you have told those in the group
who may not have been aware, that there is a difference between the two models,
your continued public attack of this individual, in my opinion, is not
appropriate in this or any other public forum. You may have a bona fide
dispute with him (I doubt it, especially since you recognized that it was
probably not an "A" model), but that can be more properly handled by an eBay
dispute forum or in a worst case in a U.S. Small Claims court. I find it quite
disgusting and unprofessional that you would not only attempt to destroy his
business, but further publish his work place and work address over a matter of
less than a $100 hobby purchase gone wrong.
Regards,
Joe Geller
