I though my $13 one was a steal

2 deg celsius accuracy.. what would that be in mW?

There's no direct correspondence. Linearity and resolution would be more relevant. At that incredible price, I wonder what one can expect...

A few years ago, I bought in-ear headphones - supposedly the real Sony Ericsson stuff - for my mobile for about $17 in current value on ebay; they had quite good sound but the cable broke after one or two years. Just a few weeks ago, I bought a set of in-ear headphones from DX for about $3.50, thinking not too much can go wrong with such a simple item. Big mistake - sound quality was so utterly bad that I dumped them after 5 minutes.

So I'm really hesitant on what you can expect here...

The LCD and parts might be worth that price alone!

You can be quite sure that the chinese are not giving anything away...

LCD+parts+labor+shipping+profit=price

I'm a little late, but I see the price changed (was error before) to $25. So, if you guys get your thermometers, awesome deal , but you probably won't

Wow, really? Holy crap.

EDIT: My order says paid but unshipped. I wonder what focalprice will do..

 

[ideas]

mine too hope our orders will pass

 

[mkdive]

hope you guys get them, I have found those kinds of slip ups from amazon....never got it at the "low price". one was a Dewalt hammer drill for $19.99. Got an email later that day that my order was canceled and would I like to buy it for $199.99. Being that I already had 3 HDs....I replied nope.

Got my fingers crossed for you guys!

I ordered it too 4 days ago, today I got a refund from FP. Tough luck. As they say, if it sounds too good to be true...

 

[blue lasers]

[ReNNo]
