You can't go wrong with the high end electronics test instruments. A lot of the people who buy them are able to fix them themselves-- ham radio types and electrical/electronics experimenters. The stuff built here in North America has documentation available, usually for free, so fixing and setting it up is pretty easy for anyone who wants a chunk of test equipment for cheap.
I just bought an HP oscilloscope for my son, who is taking electronics in College. Even though the scope is 25 years old, we can download all sorts of manuals for it from the company that bought out HP. And there are good used circuit boards on eBay all day long if it needs fixing. $200 for something that might have been 5 grand when new.
Some of the stuff might not sell as quickly as you may like....the more oddball, the less potential buyers! I'm sure the nerdiness factor is 'way off the top of the scale here!! ;>)
You should do well with the test equipment.
Jon.
