Hi everyone, ist there an alternative to the often recommended Der EE De-5000 LCR meter? The Der EE is quite expensive on german Ebay, I would have to pay quite a hefty tax, and I must pick it up at the customs offices. All the other handheld LCR meters seem to be either total crap, or expensive as hell. |

Just curious how much tax they add. I am in the US and paid a little leas than $100 It is very useful. --- Quote from: derree on September 05, 2020, 09:54:25 pm ---Hi everyone, ist there an alternative to the often recommended Der EE De-5000 LCR meter?

There is a reason they are so often recommended - very good value for money, and no real competitor in that same price bracket. I have a Peak LCR45, a Tonghui TH2822C, and a CKT5000, so I never bothered to get a DE-5000 >:D |

It´s no surprise, because it is a 1:1 clone of a GenRad product. I´ve bought it on ebay, with all options including. All in I´ve payed appx. 140€ including taxes - Still best bang for buck, because: Our Keysight LCR which is in many cases equal to the DE5000 costs about 700€ incl. calibration. --- Quote ---and I must pick it up at the customs offices. --- End quote --- No. As wrote before, I´ve bought it on ebay from a japanese seller. When it´s arrived in germany, I´ve got a letter from the customer office. They wanted me to call them back via telephone - I´ve done it, they want simply a screenshot of my PayPal bill. After sending them this, it came wit DHL Express Courier. He wanted the additional tax in cash, appx 32€, then you got it. Buy the DE-5000, You won´t regret it... |

I bought mine from amazon.com, they ship to Germany and take care of customs and VAT (taxes are paid up front). I think I paid around 120€, so may or may not end up cheaper than on eBay from Japan, but definitely more convenient. |
