Elma (aka Brymen) BM829 on sale for $98.99 shipped in US - !!!SCAM!!!

[TomKatt]

EDIT - nevermind, I think this is a scam site.  I thought it might be too good to be true...  They also have Flukes for pennies on the dollar.  Proceed at your own risk.  But it's nice to dream 

Was Googling around on Brymen meters and discovered this offer from TopCon: https://www.testingtoolsshop.com/wattmaster-rms-digital-multimeter-watel-bm829/

No experience with this company, but they have a US address.

Seems like a good deal!

My Greenlee DM820A (aka Brymen BM827S) has proved exceptionally reliable over the years.  Just ordered Dave's BM235 for a second meter because I've recently discovered the usefulness of the low impedance feature when working on mains wiring.  This should hold me for a while    Kinda wish I had found this before I ordered the BM235, but it's already on it's way and at least I'm supporting Dave a little bit ;-)

smell fishy as hell    see the big meters pricings

an 580 $$ meter sold 100$   illogic

and only 2 credit card payments  ..........  giving me the creeps

SO THE NAME SAYS IS ALL?
TOP   CON?

odd they give a street address:
4668 Cerullo Road
Louisville KY, United States (US)
40299

Anyone in Louisville want to do a door knock and see if they sell in person?  I still agree with everyone else, likely a scam.

Hmmm, Google maps says there is no Cerullo Road...
WOW! all too good cannot find a Cerullo Road anywhere in the USA! LOL

[coromonadalix]

loll too     maps  doesnt show anything

they gives this one ?

115 N 9th St, Nashville, TN 37206, USA       and zoom on a house

and  many sites gives : Cerullo Road Louisville KY   ??   and one satellite map show a sand  dumpster sand graveyard

I love the list price on this $595 USD.  On sale for 98.99 USD  when you can probably get this meter for $10 USD off ebay.  I can see the beginner already blowing the fuse with the Volt/Ohm/mA all in one jack.
