In Germany good examples cost about - hold your hats - 300$ and over!
Thats what the ads in the magazines and several local offers say
and it is more than the price for a Gossen Profisix (got mine new 
with a rebate for about 250$).

I am thinking about a mailorder from the USA although I don't like 
buying things that I cannot see and touch before. In this case I will 
probably make an exception.

What do you think?

best regards

Stefan
