Verily. Fluke is very proud of their (very good) stuff. ...

Keep watching eBay...it won't get to the HF pricing, but I've bought a
couple Fluke meters for _VERY_ reasonable prices...about 10c on the
dollar at the low end; about 25% retail/new for the more expensive/exotic.

Ayup. Got a lot of my Fluke on Ebay for pennies on the dollar.


Yeah, but so much of that stuff is abused so badly, it's worth only
those pennies. It too often takes luck to get a good one.

I've never had an issue simply by using common sense in selecting
sellers from which to buy and looking...the Fluke clampon meter looks
pristine and was complete down to the little caps over the probe tips...
