content: Thanks. They did seem to be the only option so went ahead and ordered one from there. Ordered it yesterday and received it today. Nice to finally have a decent DMM instead of my cheapo knockoff called a FUKE.

content: Yeah got the BM869. Only had a chance to have a quick play with it but certainly think it was a good buy.Must say I was very impressed with the speed of delivery. Guess now I have bought this and a scope, next purchase will have to be a good power supply.

content: Do the prices on that site include VAT etc.?I know shipping is extra, but wasn't sure about prices, as it says "net price". Cannot see anywhere though where it mentions tax.Some sites let you add to the basket to find out before registering, but this one doesn't.

content: not normally. the display price is without VAT.After you register, the price is then displayed (increased by a shocking amount imo) with VAT.

I get a price like the English one plus ~23% which I assume is Polish VAT.
