Why do I get the impression you may be a seller?

You would do well to refrain from posting when you have no idea what you're talking about!!

Good deal, you won't get a better Fluke at this price-point. Whether you need a $150 meter, a $20 meter or a $400 meter... you should know that already, as well you should already know if this is a deal if you need a >$100 meter. Most field uses don't require this level of accuracy though and it doesn't appear to have a rubber holser which also makes it less suitable for field work. Ironically enough it seems like more and more people in the field are carrying cheap < $50 meters these days citing reasons like perpetual theft of better ones.

Their must be a market, otherwise why would they be making them.

On spec?

This is from a site linked by another hot deal thread for a 4-port USB hub for $5, which I went ahead and got. Then I saw the MM and thought of you, OP!

I got my DMM (BK 5390) today. All in all its pretty nice. I'm satisfied. Its got more features than I'll ever need I suppose.

The styling is much nicer than their lower priced meters. (Which I found out when I went to Fry's Electronics.) Since its their flagship model they must have put more effort into it.
