yet another e-meter, this time for real
The two e-meters in the previous post were indeed sold on eBay. However, the sale of the first e-meter ended after one day--five days early. The sale of the second e-meter is curious too, as no picture was included in the listing. This may have had the effect of robbing Scientology of its only thin basis for removal, that being that the listed e-meter was a counterfeit, and the listing thus a trademark infringement. Without the picture, it is impossible to ascertain the authenticity and thus impossible to claim trademark infringement. It may also be noteworthy that the second e-meter was listed by a British user.
Onto new e-meters! Well, one new e-meter. eBay listing here, and screenshot here, in case it disappears. The listing is due to expire in 4 days and can be "bought now" for $1400. The seller is from the US, and the e-meter is relatively new (a Mark Super VII Quantum).
