How much is a "good" used Brymen worth?
They're not common in the US, as they don't sell under their own name (seen them rebranded under both Greenlee and Extech though, with a nice mark-up of course).
That said however, I found a BM857 on eBay in the US that they're asking $220 OBO (
here). The asking price is out of whack though, as you can get a new one from TME for ~$157 + shipping (~$20).
As it happens, I've a Brymen BM857a that's 17yrs old (listing is NOT mine as I'm keeping it). And it's fully functional and well within spec.
For disclosure regarding brand loyalty, I own:
- Fluke 27FM (forgetting to fix the ACV function as it's easier to grab a different meter )
- GW Instek GDM 8251A
- Agilent U1252B
- Uni-T UT139C
- CenTech DT830 (Harbor Freight freebies; make great panel meters or as a road kit DMM )
Edit: For disclosure, I got mine as NOS off of eBay for ~$78 shipped a few years ago or so.
