Hi everyone.
First of all, I wish you a happy New Year and all the best!
Even after searching the whole group, I have some questions about
multiplexing, now that I've finally received my spare uC.

Hi everyone,
This is completely off-topic, but I know that there are many members
here who do a lot of shipping of product overseas and I'd like your
opinion. I usually don't sell anything to anyone overseas (it's a
hassle), but recently I made an exception. After the sale was made, the

Hi Adam,
you can check the gift option, but he will have to pay anyway. This is
my expercience with German customs :-)
Next time, make sure that the buyer agrees to these terms prior to purchase:
1) You will NOT mark it as a gift (most common question, believe me)
2) You will NOT lie on the
Thanks for the advice, David Jens. It sounds like you are echoing my
original gut feeling on the subject. I'll just mark down the price he
paid and remember to add that to the purchase agreement in the future.

Just to chime in
I have a few accounts on ebay. One (up until a year ago) was for selling
RC Truck parts.
348 auctions daily.
Amazingly, about 25% was for OUT of the United States.
I would say that nearly 100% of those buyers asked that they be marked as
gifts.
I was told They are
It seems standard for them to ask for it, as a lot of them do,
because the import duties, fees, customs are quite substantial in some
countries. But I believe that there are many laws that you would be
breaking if you lied about it the form.

I tend to just ship things without looking at messages first, so I
rarely alter the value, and always check merchandise.
But, I did have a couple of problems last spring. A couple of German
buyers asked me about their expected packages, over a month after I
shipped them. I sent replacements in
Here in the Netherlands duty is paid if the value is above a certain amount
(as far as I remember about $45 including shipment). If you want the fine
print, I'll check it. So it may be in some cases wise to divide a shipment
over multiple packages and sometimes it is wise to take the risk to let
As far as I know, German customs can hold parcels for a maximum period
of 14 days or so. But there is something weird with DHL (German parcel
carrier), though. I once shipped a parcel to Venezuela and it took more
than two months to arrive...

The topic of this $1500 used nixie sale prompted me to have a look back
through my own (small) collection of nixie tubes.

Right! Sorry I meant 1mS. I wanted a 2x3 muxing, but I lack I/O pins,

I remove it, it might completely shut of my nixie,

This is the right customs rule:

I meant 1ms (one millisecond or 1*10^-3 seconds). Hope that clears it.

believe how much bad luck I have.

I patched up the power supply, just like every time, leaved the

I darkly suspect you were overrunning your nixies, but with the short duty
cycle, it wasn't obvious. When the processor paused in the

I added spaces because someone said Google is deleting imageshack

Sorry, I was having a little dig at Chris after he partially corrected you.
From a wiki :-
The siemens (symbol: S) is the SI derived unit of electric conductance and
electric admittance. Conductance and admittance are the reciprocals of
resistance and impedance respectively, hence one siemens
