E-meters.....where to find.

Where have all the used Mark VIs and VIIs gone? There can't be that many tomato plants out there. From reading our board I would presume a lot are on the closet shelf or in the garage or on eBay. They seem to be a very controlled substance and a bit high.

As far as I remember the church convinced EBay that the E-meter is a religious device. They stopped allowing it for sale on EBay.:duh:

That's over with; or was

they had hooked into an ebay system that allowed them to disallow other peoples' auctions based on a simple 'good faith' claim that the auction violated policy.

At least as of the last time I looked, that 'right' had been disallowed for cause.

Try selling an e-meter now. As far as I know, you can.

CST?

I've asked about this before (on ARS and elsewhere).

If you ever get a MARK VIII please remove the cover and take a high-res digital pic of the parts side of the PCB so that I can read the part numbers/ identification. I'm curious about the design. (I am an embedded systems engineer.)

One bit of info... but no pics:

I take it that CST means Church of Spiritual Technology or something tax-exempt like that?

Geeez. How many agressive take overs have there been. There's been a pattern here. This is sure a fixed way of being for somebodyyyy.

And thanks for the informative link. Doubt I'll ever be able to sleuth my way into dismantling a Mark VIII while no one is looking though. Don't have the engineering skills.

With so many of us not using a meter any more I'd have hoped to pick one up at garage sale price...but Noooooooo!

I saw a newish Mark VII on eBay six months ago being sold in Australia. The seller was clear to note that he was not underselling the org but had bought an extra one for his wife and ....I don't remember the rest...

Right you are!

I'm trying to upload a grouped picture of all these meters I just now found on eBay. But I do not know how to manage attachments on this board. Help?

I've done a screen capture and saved it to my pictures. They are inexpensive!

Just searching ebay.com for "scientology meter" shows 3 Mark Vs, 1 VI, and 2 VIIs in current auctions. There may be others that don't have "meter" in the title - I didn't check.

And for a bit more data and pix on the new meter, search ESMB for "Phuctum", the surveyed new name. Well, it wasn't surveyed in the CofS. :).

PM me - I've been trying to get rid of our four (4) (!!) meters. 3 right-handed and 1 left. I'll even include some Standard hand cream for you.

Pretty interesting they keep updating the meter when they consider the real problem is the person reading the meter. As proven by the change of what an FN is.:whistling:

Hi,

I had a friend of mine who is a big Ebayer sell three for me on E-bay. All quantums, only 1 with a recent cert. I got between 1500 and 2K for each. No problems, no hassles, nothing. I decided to do it b

Used the money to take the family on vacation. It was great. I'm thinking of selling my library next. All basics, congresses, PDC's etc. I think it should be able to bring in about 37.50. Maybe enough to cover shipping.

Oops, mistakes:
I decided to do it before the new ones got released and any value dropped. I didn't plan to ever use them again anyways. Also, this was just within the last 2-3 months, so very current.
