AC Voltmeter Again !

I posted that I bought one of these several days ago, paid dearly at $4.25 inc shp,....thought it would look good on the output, next to the input meter on my inverter.
Several said they wanted one, so I posted this one up for bids.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251626887525&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:3160
I myself bid it to $2.25, just so someone wouldn't get it for $.37 or some other ridiculous price. But I just got notice I bought it,......
there were no other bids. Thanks guys !! Now I'll have another meter in my collection that I don't need.......and never even wanted :)

I can't believe how much fun I can get outta 10 bucks,....I think that makes 8 meters so far, 2 of which were in SanFran yesterday, and 2 more are in Portland this morning :)

    Now that you mention it, w/ all the solar stuff in QZS, I have never seen a digital meter of any kind at any vendor there. Not that you can't get a $2 meter for 30 bucks at any one of the solar places there.
    Last year I did see a gal in a pickup truck selling ebay panels and controllers for a good profit. Sure surprised I don't see more. Now if I was younger,................

    RJ... I was suggesting you carry a few in your pocket and liquidate at a profit at McDonalds, or all those unsuspecting RV'er going under the I-10 bridge traffic that mosey's past your shop.

    Darn, I keep forgetting about my little port am/fm for 4 bucks. But I ain't found it yet, must still be on the slooo boat.
    I just bought a panel M digital clock for in the bedroom,....8 bucks.
    I have one like it under the tv,...a Radio Shack model bought in '79 for 30 bucks, installed in a new '79 Bayliner cruiser for 14 yrs,, and been in 4 MHs since then, been a good one for sure. But I was tired of staggering into the living room to see the time in the middle of the nite. This will be good,....if it isn't too brite and keep DW awake.
    I'm addicted,.....I gotta quit this,....or do I ? :)

    Look at the bid history - there were 3 other bidders, the closest was $2.00
    Not sure why you ran the bid up on something you didn't want.
