Perhaps it was a typo and this is the meter:

Selling for $18. I sure wish I could find somebody who could charge me
$25 instead. I'd be able to get that special feeling of pride that comes
from having spent too much.


You've found somebody ... if you're able to read and do basic math (see
my previous post regarding the shipping charges they charge you to ship
that meter to you from Singapore) ... then tell us who's offering the lowest
delivered price.

Seems to me your total cost from them is $ 34.57 .... which is $ 3.57 more
than your total cost would have been from me, with Priority Mail shipping,
including Delivery Confirmation and a tracking number, and delivery to any
U.S. address within 2 -3 business days.


Do the math, then let me know how many meters you'd like to order before
I place my next order. With the sudden popularity of this meter, I'll even
offer


moron. I wouldn't pay $5 for that piece of ****, and especially
not from an asshole like you.

Thank you for generating so much interest; it looks like I'll now have to at
least
double my reorder for more of these multimeters.

Did you happen to see what they charge to ship one multimeter from Singapore
to the U.S.? Their lowest shipping rate shown for that meter shipped to the
U.S.
is $ 16.05 for "Speedpost" Standard Air Courier, with delivery in 7 to 12
business days.

Same meter on eBay for $13.38 shipping included....

Shipping does not have to be that high, I bought a cable tester off eBay
that was shipped to me from Hong Kong and the whole thing cost me $6

The picture of the meter he shows on eBay does not look the same as the
Model XL830L meters which I sold, but that does appear to be a very good
price with the shipping from Hong Hong included.

It looks identical to the picture on the pchub site.

" No results found for XILE XL830L"


I got some hits for XILE on the chinese crap importation websites.
Nothing for that meter, unsurprisingly.


He told me I needed a better search engine. There are no results on any
search I used other than his posts.


Not to back up the OP, but a google search returned 331 pages of results...

Google guesses at 299 hits, then returns 2 pages. It was 67 hits, actually,
2/3rds of them chinese. (your url includes a 50 hits/page specification)
(page 2 was hits 51-67)

I probably got no hits because the ****ing idiot had misspelled the
manufacturer's name.

XILE != XIOLE

I had searched for "XILE XL830L" and unsurprisingly, got nothing but
the OP's advertisements.

BTW: when posting a google link, you can leave off all the crap except
for the ?q=searchstring part. For example, all you need is:
