Is this a good deal on a refractometer?

eBay, seems like decent seller, looks like pretty much the same thing sold at all the brew supply places for ~$60. On sale here for ~$30.

Any words of caution?

Looks just like the one I bought from ebay. Never had any problem with it

Looks like the one I bought last year . I love it

I also say go for it. I use mine for testing my mash runoff gravities--absolutely worth every penny to me... Got mine off ebay too (and paid more than that).

I got mine off eBay, and all is well.

I bought this one

I used my hydrometer each time to confirm the readings.
I use http://onebeer.net/refractometer.shtml to calculate for me.

thanks folks! I was just looking for some warm fuzzies from y'all before taking the plunge.

I bought that one from the same guy. It works good for me and they shipped pretty fast too.

I have the one that you show in your link. Works well, shipping was fast, no worries. Good Luck.

I was in the market, thanks for doing my homework for me! I just bought one.

I just got one too. My brewing buddy has this one and he seems to like it a lot. I did notice that he takes a couple readings and it varies each time a little, but still a good product and worth $30!
