$100 milion dollar for a 3999 count meter...that's $25k per count!!

[ablacon64]

hummmm.... At that price it must be good. Thinking about buying one... 

[daveshah]

Presumably it is targeted at government departments

But if you use the discount code "EEVBLOG5" at checkout you can save like 5 million dollars!

Looks like some clerk in the TE office fell asleep on his keyboard, smashing the '0' key in the process.
You do get a set of 'Premium' test leads though...

At that price I would expect solid gold case studded with diamonds and a Tiffany's logo on it.

You forgot to mention free shipping above 75 bucks

Note the last word. It's probably just their way of making sure no one orders a discontinued project by mistake.

Either that or, this company is selling from Zimbabwe.

(You know your country's inflation problem is bad when you can plot the exchange rate on a log scale and still have it look like an exponential function.)

[G7PSK]

At one point Zimbabwe dollars were printed amount to be determined, as the inflation rate went up faster than they could print the notes.

They don't have the item in stock or it is discontinued. The way their computer system is set-up, they can't have a product listing no no price, so they enter a rediculous price to ensure nobody buys that item.

Zimbabwe changed to a different method to count money, they changed to the centimeter. Street vendors would have a table with piles of bundled notes lying next to it in the open, otherwise known as small change. Sent a few trillion dollar bills to the States and other places, it was actually hard to get this currency, as the Zimbabweans could not figure out that people though the notes were actually worth anything, they regarded them as poor quality toilet paper.

The present currency is either the US dollar ( plenty of fakes there of course) or the South African Rand. Still have some multi thousand Zimdollar bills.

Plenty more Zim dollars coming your way soon Sean, with Bob fully in charge of the central bank again.  O0

How will he afford the paper to print them? Even the SARB wants payment for the paper and ink.

[Wytnucls]

He is not stupid, he kept the old ones!
