So I need a ball park figure. I am sure someone on this
group haas bought one second hand recently.
It's always a good idea to search eBay for finished auctions,
they show you the last 30 days worth. You can find something
similar, if not identical. Use "Advanced Search," and select
"Completed Items only"
I found a 54810A 500MHx 2-channel with printed manuals, but
no probes, ended at $3,150. Another 54810A, but rack mount
(ugh), with no probes or printed manuals, started at $3,995,
no bidders, relisted now, still no bidders. A third 54810A
had everything, probes and all, and finished at $3,750 plus
$300 shipped from Israel, after 23 bids. This was with a
$49.90 starting bid! See the great photos and listing,

[Note the runner-up bidder, a new eBay member in the Ukraine,
rated 0. You may want to set some acceptable-bidder rules.]
Anyway, I'd imagine a 54815A with everything like yours would
be *at least* a few $k more, maybe higher. Nothing wrong with
a $7.5k reserve price, and you can relist for a few rounds, or
go ahead and accept a lower high finishing bidder at any point.
