content: I'm asking moderators to delete this double post from hendrick. Deal is cold as ice as box shows Fluke 87 and meter is actually a Fluke 75.

content: Quote from: hendrick on September 19, 2016, 09:05:59 amThe item is in the completely fake as there are lots of pictures of the box and 1 of the multimeter that is clearly the wrong model. Please don't double post it is not helpful and makes people extremely unhappy.

content: I reported it before I posted it here but I'm sure others have too. It was funny what the seller was trying to get away with (intentionally or not) and I thought it was a good reminder to be wary when buying online.

Looking on other items this seller sells, he/she is not an expert in electronics at all. Ok, what if someone slams you with a club when you make unintentional mistake? Will it be justified?

content: I bought an 87V recently and was amazed to read that it can measure resistors in the 100Mohm-10.000Mohm range with the nanosiemens range

content: Quote from: wraper on September 21, 2016, 07:28:56 amWell it seemed more intentional to me since there was no mention of the "87V" model number on the 87 box he had nor on the actual 75 multimeter he had, and he listed it as an "87V" (as a combo kit too and the only combo kit he had was a combo kit booklet).And since the 87 box had an actual picture of the 87 multimeter, he certainly would have known that the 75 multimeter was not the 87 multimeter as it doesn't look like the picture at all.

content: Dunno sounds like a valid scam, post pictures of the correct box and the wrong instrument and say in text that you buy what you see and legally you have a sound case for defense.The buyer should have checked the pictures before buying.

content: This is sadly the justification for eBay to have the heavy-handed attitude towards sellers which we then suffer for because there are dishonest sellers out there. As far as I am concerned ignorance and incompetence are not justifications. This listing was a fraud.
