Discounted Littmann stethoscopes w/engraving error

Sometimes on stethoscope.com they have Littmann stethoscopes w/engraving errors that are discounted. I purchased the Littmann Master Cardiology black edition last semester for around $165 or so. It was in perfect condition w/only X's over the engraved name. I would definitely spend the extra money to get a nice stethoscope if you are having issues hearing w/a cheapie one. I went through 3 cheap stethoscopes and finally broke down and bought my "stealth" stethoscope. Thus far it has been a great purchase, gone are those days of fidgeting w/the ear pieces and straining to hear.
