I'm looking to buy one from Ebay, but I don't know anyone who owns one.

Take a look at the bandwith.   I like real used scopes that go at least 10 to 20 Mhz.  You have to have a scope fast enough to catch the signals you want to trace.   If you are going for audio only or keypresses a 1 Mhz pocket scope is probably ok but if you want digital signals on a circuit board you will probably have to go highter.

I have looked at them in the past.  Sarver Systems if you get one let me know what you think of it.

Thanks
