Promax meter on Ebay
 
There's a Promax Prolink 3 meter being sold on Ebay at the mo that
looks very interesting. Current bids are up to £255.00. Retail price
for this meter is nearly 2 grand. Any good?

I've a spare one of these. Would be worth several hundred espically if
it has BER. A new Li-ion battery will set you back £250 odd quid and
calerbration is about £80. If your going to spend over a grand then why
not buy a Promax Explorer.

Well, I'm hoping the bidding doesn't get that high! If it goes over
£500, I won't bother. I'm not that satified with my meter (a Prolink
1) as I don't think it measures DTT very well & it's difficult to work
out BER on it.

Could this be a more cost effective option?

From the description on EBay, this one doesn't have BER. It was a
optional extra on the 3+. Also It sounds as if it's going to need that
new battery and probably calabrated. Interesting to see how much it goes
for.

I've emailed the seller about the battery and how much use the meter's
had. I'm still tempted to bid as long as it stays under £500
