I was out with @johnnielsen today and he wanted to buy a Mitutoyo Digital caliper off of Kijiji. We went to this guy's front door and he had an Absolute 8" in reasonable condition, working, and far more importantly not fake. I've seen guys try to sell a knock-off as the real thing, and they are pretty laughable (such as misspelling 'absolute', etc).
Anyhow, we buy it, and he says "Do you want another one?" we want to look at it, and he has a nearly new one that he sells us for the same price, in a box, etc. Again checked with an eagle eye for not fake.
Turns out he's a retired machinist that is selling off some stuff he doesn't use anymore.
All in all, a great day. Perhaps it is time to sell off my older 8" Mitutoyo that is the previous generation, as I now have too many digital calipers...
