Title: eevblog bm235 multimeter on Amazon is out of stock and maybe gone
Post by: ez24 on October 30, 2016, 11:45:27 pm
Seems Dave cannot keep up with demand or has stopped selling them on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/EEVblog-BM235-Brymen-Multimeter/dp/B01JZ1ADCO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477791391&sr=8-1&keywords=eevblog+bm235+multimeter#customerReviews (https://www.amazon.com/EEVblog-BM235-Brymen-Multimeter/dp/B01JZ1ADCO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477791391&sr=8-1&keywords=eevblog+bm235+multimeter#customerReviews)

Seems this link works but you cannot find any by searching for them  :--  so I could not find a direct link, ie they are gone from Amazon.  The last time they were out they stayed listed.  Strange

Just for your interest:

The BM 235 is available at TME Europe, too. Right now they have only 21 in stock.

http://www.tme.eu/en/details/bm235/portable-digital-multimeters/brymen/ (http://www.tme.eu/en/details/bm235/portable-digital-multimeters/brymen/)

There it is marked as "Hardly available product".   :-//
It seems, Brymen is currently forcing the production of the other models...

or Dave has ordered their complete next production batch.   :clap:

Yes they sold out before new stock got there, and it seems amazon shut down the page once there is no stock.
It takes time for stock to get shipped there and for amazon to process it and make it available.
Another 90 units are on the way.

Strange - last time went they went out of stock the listing stayed up and they listed an expectation date.  This time the listing is gone.

I think that's because they had received the units but hadn't processed them into the warehouse yet, so the system knew they had goods in hand it was just a matter of processing.

The main EEVblog page still shows 61 in stock pictured below, none listed anymore that I could find on the local Ebay AU site though.  :-DMM

Amazon is now listing the EEVBlog BM235 as “In stock on November 6, 2016.”

I just got an email today that a box had been processed.
System show 30 "reserved" but 0 "fulfillable" which basically means they are processed and they can start taking orders again, but can't ship immediately because the units are in the warehouse somewhere but not on the picking shelf yet.
Amazon have a very precise logistics system

Now orderable, reporting 12 units left in stock.  So, either they haven't processed all the incoming, or they already sold...

Have only sold 2 since the restock, 15 are marked as "reserved" for some reason even though the entire shipment of 30 were received and processed.
Amazon works in mysterious ways...
70 sold in the last 30 days

Dave, Thank you so much for making your meter available on Amazon!

I have been trying to decide what meter to get after getting frustrated with my old analog Sanwa. I am a DIYer and the last thing I did that involved a multimeter was checking my dryer's thermostats. I think I could have spent less but I was persuaded by your videos of the advantages of having not only a good meter with a decent set of features but also a safe meter. I'm willing to spend the money because I think both you and Brymen produce great stuff! Thanks! :)

ps
Anyway, I thought I start my first post saying I finally bought a meter and I'm looking forward to it.

I just bought 1 a few hours ago, was offered option of having it tomorrow if I chose 1 day shipping option, so they're ready to sell. 15 currently in stock. BTW, I took free shipping instead of 1 day, my old Fluke 25 is still working just fine :)

Hey Dave,
I purchased one of the multimeters in early October and I like it so much I'd like to buy two more.
When do you expect to have more in stock?
Thanks

It's a toy troll and I think Dave keeps it handy as a reminder to watch out for under bridge lurkers and the like.   :(

The type of troll this forum attracts would probably enjoy your pencils.

Funny enough I have a Winnie the Pooh pen at work I use occasionally. Has a hole in the rear used for the pen cap, and it used to light up yellow from a small 3mm LED and 3 button cells in it. Sadly the batteries went flat, and dismantling the sealed one to replace them was destructive.

I doubt the trolls would enjoy the pencils, even our very own special unnamed one ( hi PQ!), though I would take only moderate pleasure in doing the insertion. I also have a sharpener per pencil, bad $1 bid on an auction, and I won this lot.
