I bought a cheap one on Ebay awhile back. It is sufficient for my use which is to say it measures capacitors, inductors and resistors in the range for audio crossovers. What I was most interested in was matching components (precision) rather than exact values (accuracy) and this does the job. The accuracy is so-so (plus/minus 2.5%) but the measurements are reproducible and consistent.
It's made in China (naturally) and the model is DM4070 for about $35.BTW if you want something much more elegant the DE-5000 is only $100 (available on Amazon and Ebay) and has much higher accuracy (0.25%) and lots of bells and whistles. I don't have one but the reviews I read give it high marks.
