Yes, that calibration expires soon, but 98% of the Flukes in service have NEVER been calibrated, and we still trust them (in general). That screen costs ~$9, last I checked.
I wonder whose truck that meter "fell" off of... so conveniently WITHOUT the bag of leads. ;)

You'd have to be a special kind of stupid if you were to sell stolen goods that have so many identifying properties. The previous owner should recognize the marker text and the screen protector at first glance.
Then again, people selling stolen goods aren't quite known for their ability to make good choices.

Well, erm...
Given that I'm from the Finger Lakes region, where that auction is from, I can think of several major sources for a calibrated meter of that sort. There's 3M chemical, a massive plastics manufacturing facility, and any of a dozen huge custom-fab electronics manufacturers in Newark, and then 6 or 7 HVAC companies big enough to have fleets, all in the city or due North. Then of course, about 40 minutes South, there's Philips Lighting; one of the biggest lighting manufacturers in the country.
Of course the game they're playing is one of whether they get caught before they collect the money; the property owner still has to get Law Enforcement involved. If they have insurance to cover, or like many large Corporations, such a loss may take weeks or even months to show on inventory, the auction can come & go and never be noticed.
But yeah... that :-DMM auction rings a few alarm bells, at least for me. Of course, there's every possibility that meter was EOLed and is spoils of a dumpster dive; and that's probably the story I'd tell myself as I eagerly place my bid and hope for the best. :P

I got mine today after about a month ! Looks like there has been a run on these meters after daves review.
I'm surprised the unit was not damaged in the post because it just came in its pouch and put in a bubble wrap bag along with the accessories :palm: In fact there is not a mark on it and it works perfectly :phew:
Did anyone else get there's delivered like this ?
cheers

Yeah, that's how mine was packaged. It's the pouch that protected it.

Mine came in a box.
