I have an older much more beat up version of this unit and keeps on truckin as they say. For under $100 I highly recommend it.

That is a great price, that is a good model, I have used them also.

That one flew under the radar , yet there are two dedicated bidders.
I will be surprised if it sells for much under this other one _

I scooped up the hotplate in the OP for a few cents under $200, including shipping - thanks for the tip chemrox! Sorry if I was bidding against anyone
else here 
I'll report on how it works when I get it.
Now I'm jealous of franklin's post, though! That plate goes hotter than the one I got, and is much cheaper!

AHHHHHHHHH! found this and then got mad when I found out they don't ship to Australia.
It's a stirrer/hotplate for 70 bucks, grab it quick!
