Mitutoyo 500-196-30
The price is about 1/3 of the price on Amazon.
The seller has 10 feedback and the listing says 126 sold. What??
Seller has 3 eBay listings (all Mitutoyo calipers).
This has to be counterfeit goods, right? Or, am I paranoid?
Edit: I just noticed the listing headline reads 500-196-20/30. Dash 30 is the current model. I suppose it's possible he has purchased a pile of old stock -20s at a very low cost and is selling them cheap. Too good to be true?
Edit 2: I found THIS video and read one article he linked. I'm convinced the eBay listing is counterfeit.
HERE is another eBay listing for $0.10 lower item price, direct from China.
