Excessive prices.

[sparkdog]

Has anyone else noticed that on ebay a lot of test equipment is being listed with buy it now prices which are well above the full retail price?Like Martindale proving unit £280 Megger insulation/continuity £780.

Ebay is Megger expensive these days (Sorry, couldn't resist )

I prefer to use Amazon to be honest, most items I search for turn up to be cheaper on there than ebay and the service tends to be far better too:thumbsup

I have to say that i have been looking lately cos i hate my fluke 1651 now, and i have to say that as forum sponsors i have looked on test-meter and i reckon they are a good price, and thats before you get 5% off for being a forum member :yesnod:

I've just google "proving unit" the first one to come up was http://www.pat-services.co.uk/marti...medium=ppc&utm_term=1883&utm_campaign=froogle
£54

So fleabay is more expensive, than what we ca normally buy by looking around
