Why you can’t buy a thermapen on Amazon (2016)

This might be an unpopular opinion.

I bought a Thermapen back when they were new. It was Good! It measured temperature fast.

Then it broke, and I bought a cheap one.

And it’s basically completely the same. Actually more reliable - the thermapen stopped turning on reliably when I pulled the needle out.

This doesn’t mean it’s Ok what Amazon are doing, or for companies to rip them off. But I don’t think most people (any people?) need to spend that much money on a thermometer anymore.

If you still have the Thermapen they will likely replace it or repair it for free or cheap (like $10).

Did not know that! Thanks! My new one probably cost less than that anyway though.
