I was a total whacker, hence my ID, and I lived on ebay. I spent thousands - possibly tens of thousands of dollars on ebay from 98-now. Keep in mind that included five vintage ambulances, so it's not like I have ten billion boxes of bandaids. I've found that stupid people make the best sellers. I bought a Littman 4400 that costs over 520 in the Life Assist Catalog, for a wopping 9.99. Brand new, factory sealed, still works after 5 years of heavy use. I bid on a "Lot of Single Head Scopes, New" for 4.99. I expected a case of nurse scopes, like dollar store scopes. But it was a factory sealed box of Littman Selects that go for about 40 bucks a pop.

I do :unsure:
When I went looking for a scope, I was told Littman was the best. I went to ebay; and bought a Littman Classic II series, for 14$ shipped. the guy said it was his sons who was going to be an EMT; but decided not to before he even used the scope. It was still in fedex wrappers from um, some EMS stuff dealer. He had no clue; I did. I won! 
I tihnk it's an $80 scope; I got it for $14 and am definately happy with it. I have bad ears, couldn't hear anything on the "rentascope" my instructor gave all of us. I am very very happy.

I think the term Low-cost Littmans is an oxymoron dont you think?

It's just a name, really, I've had three dollar scopes w/ acoustic single heads that work out better than any of my expensive ones. My father bought me one when I was 16, it is probably still in the box somewhere back home. I liked my single head nurse scope, it was 'rural road compatible'.Originally posted by Cap'nPanic@Aug 25 2005, 10:25 AM

Yeah but everyone Ive talked to have given a good recommendation for a Littman. They are popular because appearently they work really well for the consumer. If the product was bad from the begining I dont think we would be buying littmans, I think we would be buying something else.

Oh The one eyed one horned guy... forgot about him
Maybe it ain't all Jon's fault then
But, Getting back on topic... Is there any such thing as a low priced Littmann???
( although the Classic II S.E. I use was free, so maybe the answer could be yes )
