I did the ebay route when I bought my Mitutoyo electronic calipers. They were still sealed and new in the factory box. Price for this model from MSC was $239 and I got them on ebay for $89.00.
There are a lot of good deals on ebay for instruments - calipers, micrometers, etc. and many are still new in the box.
This is one of the few bargains I found on ebay to be sure, but don't rule them out.
