    Yup! I got mine for the same price on ebay, but with free shipping.

    It works great, and matches my calibrated hydrometer exactly. It too is also very easy to calibrate. I absolutely love it!

    Cheers!

    Wow, that price of $15 is going to upset the supply/demand market! :grimacing:

    I bought it from china and received it today ,which is very fast shipping from China. Very good quality for the price. Its the same one many online brew supply stores are selling for $50.

    Just picked one up recently. Calibrated out of the box and dead on with my hydrometer.

    I also have that refractometer. It has proven unreliable as I can take multiple samples from the same wort at the same time and get different readings as far apart as 4 to 5 brix.
