content: Hi,I hereby claim the right to buy the first broken 121GW meter that shows up here on the forum.Although, come to think of it, with the audience here, that meter will probably be BBER (Beyond Beyond Economical Repair), if declared "broken".

content: Huh, I have one, not sure I want to sell it. It's not physically broken, it just have corrupted calibration after some play with firmware.What about buying an unused one? I have one meter that I bought by mistake, I want to sell it... at good price

When I did checkout two DMMs appeared in the cart, but because the site worked very poorly I decided to make the order anyway and left a comment to remove one from the order. Later I decided that two decent DMMs are even better than one contacted support to leave the order unchanged (strangely enough I never received any communication about either message). At the end received two.Now I want to sell at least one as it doesn't fit the role of "dmm to go" (for me).
