Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Where can I send customers for 12VDC wall-warts in UK in particular, EU in general.
When that HDD topic was discussed somewhere [here?] there was a post saying that the actual device was used as part of an in-dash system. The 'flash drive' was acceptable. However, that didn't answer the addition of weights in the form of big nuts. IIRC the topic related to imports to Russia?

I dunno, I like it that your username is lucky. :D I have purchased some VERY dodgy power supplies from china on ebay. I mean firehazard dodgy. Now I only buy them from reputable sellers. I figure it will save me the house fire.

Seriously though you will be buying EXACTLY the same component (with exceptions of course) look on any item you have it will generally say 'made in China'. I do a fair amount of buying/selling mostly via ebay I have many a time purchased something from a UK shop/store and dismantled it (love pulling things apart, started when I was little haha) they have always been the same product that we can but direct at 90% less. Caveat to that is there is some very 'dodgy' products/ quality but they are still the same as we buy in the shops ,HDMI cables being an example. Another good example is mobile phones, you can iphone clones or any other brand that usually are made in the same factory or using the same parts. The mark-up by the time it gets to the store is ridiculous, (iphone being a good example) which is why China is becoming market leader not just because they have cheap labour, and yes I'm constantly amazed when I can buy something for 99p free postage (50p once) take out ebay's AND paypal's fees! On eBay, does anybody know how a seller in China can sell me an item for £1 and give free postage, and it is as good as something i buy from a store here for £9.99 ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

Yes, what would you expect. Stuffing an honest 50V/6800uF inside a 50V/6800uF can, would even be more insane. Thinking about it, it could be worse, because the photo does not tell us what is inside the 35V/2200uF ;-) Further investigation is needed. But I agree, this photo is probably a practical joke.

A classic one, though. The best hoax photographs are the sort where everyone deep down thinks that this sort of thing could really happen. :) -Adam W7QI On 1/6/2012 1:45 PM, Frank Bemelman wrote: Yes, what would you expect.
