> Yes, that could well be true. It's not a Fluke or anything fancy, but nonetheless not the cheapest one either... Though I get a bit suspicious when I see that it steps (it's not an autorange) from 2M to 20M and then to 200M.

I don't see how it would matter in your particular case since the
value you get is too high, but it's worth noticing that your hands
offer some resistance as well. If you try to measure eg a 10M resistor
and hold a finger on each probe, your body will form a parallel
resistor with the one you're trying to measure, and will bring down
the value. It doesn't matter for anything <10k but might become very
noticeable at 10M and up. Solution: Only secure the resistor with one
hand don't touch the other side of the resistor with your other hand.
