My wife and I run an electronics boutique.
Our entire stock of industrial non-contact IR thermometers was purchased by a single guy who said he wanted to send them back to China.
My wife explained that they were for industrial use (out about half a degree), and not accurate enough for medical use. He purchased them anyway. :-\
