Wow... those are textbook examples of "knocking around the bottom of a tool box/bag for twenty years" Fluke field gear. I guess I'm happy for you...?

I don't know what the flurp has happened with the 87s the last couple years... a few years ago, you couldn't give the damned things away; like new ones going for ~$50. Then, just after mine (that I'd had since it/they were a brand new model) got stolen during a move, they went crazy and I couldn't touch even ones in this condition for less than $100. Sure I'd love an 87-V, but that old beast served me trusty, tried & true for 20 years; I'm certain another would serve me just as well. Every time I do a fresh search, same old story. Nothing that doesn't look utterly knackered for less than $100.
*Does a fresh search just to make sure*
Yup, same thing; a couple halfway decent 87-IIIs going low ~$60-70 net, but no holster and lots of days left... hmmm... a nice condition 87 with Fluke accessories opening at $96 net; says working perfect, but no pics of it lit up... *pins to a tab*...
*Does a [SOLD] listing search*
Oh futch... now THIS is what really twists my joint. JUST MISSED several half-decent looking 87-III that went ~$75 net, and a working 87-V with thermo that went ~$90 net.
