Don't let paypal do the conversion, 29,000 JPY is $203.56 USD at current exchange rates.
You'll almost certainly have to pay local tax and likely DHL brokerage fee on top of that yes (guessing $10-15 USD but I can't find any references for your country).
Sanway PC7000 is probably a fine meter, but does not datalog, do power measurement, low burden, etc. So not quite the same feature class. But yes due to low yen its going to make more sense to purchase locally.
The PC7000 is basically the same as Brymen BM867 including computer connection.
No. It’s not PayPal doing the conversion. It’s Shopify. They are charging ¥29,000. PayPal have a decent rate right now ¥134 per dollar. This is slightly better than the current ¥140 per dollar standard.
When you use PayPal’s considerate rate of exchange then based on Shopify’s Price, Reverse calculated to usd you get $214.
Am I misunderstanding? I believe the shop has determined the Yen price of the product... 29,000 Yen is far too neat and tidy to be a dynamic translation of $204.
Go to the store again today as I suggested above, you'll see the price has changed to the current days exchange rate, rounded to 100 JPY.
No one is going in and manually setting a price in a hundred different currencies.
Correct. All my store prices are set in AUD for a stupid reason to do with Shopify (I'd prefer USD, as I buy all my stock in USD), and any other displayed currency is Shopify doing the conversion automatically. I have no idea where it gets the conversion data from.
Use the coupon code orderofmagnitude for 10% off.
Is there a way to apply the code to my order?
Any help much appreciated.
I already wanted to discard the tips, but had a closer look, as the tip needle could somehow be rotated inside the rubber grips.
To my big joy, the grips can be pulled downwards, if you carefully grab the tips with a pliers at the thread.
This also raises the question, are new tips available from Brymen? I have two sets of those leads, one is perfect (I owned that from new...) but the other is heavily scarred (came with an abused bench meter I bought) and could use fresh tips.

My function switch has become flaky and I need to know if the shim and replacement knob are still available and, if so, where do I get them. I was part of the original Kickstarter project and my meter was one from the 2nd production batch. (I received it in August 2018, s/n 1418) I didn't pursue obtaining the shim and knob when the switch problem first starting appearing because my meter was working fine and I figured that the thickness tolerance on my PC board must have been such that my meter was not one of those affected. But things have gradually gotten worse to the point where now the meter only powers up if I mess with the function switch a bunch of times. Maybe the springs in switch contacts have lost some oomph or something else has worn. Anyway it would be great to source the updated knob and shim now and any help from this forum would be appreciated.
If you can't read German, you could buy them from Dave:
