Noticed e-bay has mitutoyo 500-196-30 calipers for $50 or so from a bunch of different sellers. Trying to figure out why. Are they knock-offs, or is it a discontinued model or something?

It actually states that the lions share of products are made in the USA.
"But the hallmark of Starrett quality and innovation is rooted in America. And so it is today, where the lion's share of Starrett tools are manufactured."
