Nope. You underestimate how determined resellers are to destroy the value
of what
they're reselling. I don't know why they do it. These do in fact
show up routinely without pods.
Same situation here (Austria). I'm looking for an affordable analyzer for
quite some time already, but often run into units without pods. Not really
useful, at least for me. I don't need a high spec analyzer, but I do need
pods with it.
