I scored a 2-3" Mitutoyo micrometer on eBay for $39 this weekend.
This fills out my set of Mitutoyo micrometers from 1 to 3 inches.
First in a pawn shop, the second two on eBay. About $70 for the set of three,
although the first one was purchased back when the moon wasn't any bigger than a nickle.
I think I gave under $10 for it.

I have a cheap $60 USD Chinese set of five metric mic's and also a $20 USD , digital caliper .
Prompted by Charles comment and the video link I decided to check them out last night to see how they compared .
Big surprise when using the 25 mm test piece on the caliper & the small mic ........ they both read the 25 mm test piece consistently at 25 mm .. either I'm very lucky and have an accurate set of measuring tools or they are both reading wrong .
The finish on all of then is a very high quality one .
