Huh, that's a pretty nice deal. Do you have a link to the ended eBay auction? I wouldn't mind seeing what it's all about

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110262816590
it was like 177 something with shipping..
its probably gonna be junk but ill give it a shot..

i need someone in maryland that has a meter to test it. (how much are meters?)

Meters are well over $200

Impressive list. But... here's a thought: for $89 more you could have owned an Opto RPL-blue-10!

and no scanner... or safety glasses

add to the list 20 bucks for a soldering kit.
