[sdiy] Worldwide Fluke Prices

[Oscar Salas]

Hello,

After some days searching for a new multimeter I found yesterday a Fluke 87V for only 314USD that now-days are 223Euro. Bingo! I was ordering it when I noticed that has restricted shipment that means that only ships inside US.
Farnell Export is selling it for 350UK Pound that now-days are 397 Euro! It is almost twice! But still... Amazon.de is selling it for 680 Euro!! that is about three times the amazon.com price!!!
All prices are without taxes.

So, what is the real price of a 87V? How is this possible?? 
I don't want pay 2 or 3 for a thing that costs 1, so any recommendation for a hi-fi multimeter to buy inside Europe. I like the temperature sensor and frequency counter in addition to the basic functions. About 250Euro.
