How much is a fair price for a Fluke 287 with these conditions ?

(1/9) > >>

BravoV:
With the following conditions, its a new old stock, never been used and still in the original Fluke carton box, but its not sealed though.

All accessories like probes/alligator clips and manual are there, the only missing item is the CD.  :-[

Whats that CD for ? Just plain soft copy of the documents ?

Edit : Just to avoid misunderstanding, I'm not selling, its just I've been offered by local shop here, the box is a bit crushed and few corners are damaged, and + the missing CD, thats why they're offering me with a discounted price, its just I have no idea the fair price is ? Personally I don't need those stinking box.

My comments.

Amazon USA has it for $450 USD + free shipping.  Amazon has an amazing return policy.

If the local shop is an authorized Fluke dealer (check with Fluke HQ), then I would say $400 might be a fair price for an open box.  If they are not an authorized dealer (i.e. pawn shop), then you are giving up the "lifetime warranty".  If that is the case, then I suggest $300 might be a fair price.

Be aware that the new old stock 287 is likely not to have the latest firmware as per below

If you have cable to upgrade it, that is no problem.  If you don't then the cable might cost a few $$$. With Amazon, you are likely, but not guaranteed, to get latest firmware (it was released in May 2013).

ElektroQuark:
The 287-289 cable costs about 40€.

the cd is only documentation like the one you get in that thick manual, and the flukeview software. but its only for the fvf kit and the cable is in that package too not the normal meter itself box

BravoV:
Really appreciate for the replies, thanks guys.  :-+

This, is what I was expecting to hear, thank you.  :-+

Yes, I forgot to mention that its a grey market product, not worry though cause I've been a customer for that brick & mortar shop for long time and I trust them, besides by chances, this Fluke 287 should not be a wimpy product that be broken by it self easily, isn't it ?

Its used for display only at the shop, and the lcd screen still has the original protective plastic film on it. Its just the box was not stored properly and somehow get crushed/damaged and the CD probably is misplaced somewhere.

Current offering is about $330, and also to buy it, I need to visit the shop, allowed to do some physical inspection & brief testing. And the best part as traditional transaction, I may have a chance to do some bargaining.

So, if I managed to squeeze it, say < $300, this should be good price right ?

A lot of great infos in that thread there, and didn't know Fluke is still supporting and keep releasing firmware for this 28x model.  :-+

About the usb->ir cable, I think I will go thru the diy route instead of buying one.  :P

So I'm assuming that flukeview software can be downloaded from fluke's website, and it should be the same as the one that came with the cd, am I correct ?
