Hi Bert and all,
Very few occasions items like we talk about is really pristine, I expect
it to be used and only try to judge about how much milage it has. Most
of the dumpster diver level re-circulation folks has low knowledge, and
some excel and actually has a clue, but if only the pictures is their
own and show some reasonable level of degradation and then I judge if I
think there is a fair price or not for what roughly is being provided.
So far I have not been scammed very hard. Most of the stuff has been
within the expected level, but all that comes from makeing a decision of
what to expect and what price is fair for that expectation.
Cheers,
Magnus

Thanks for the link. Now it explains where they come from and what
condition they are in. Again I like to warn against ggg*fitting that sell Morion
as NEW and did sell FE 5680A as NEW. I did mail my very used sold as NEW
back to them so someone will get it if you continue to buy from them. They
agreed to reimburse me for shipping but as you see below now threaten me if I
do not give them a positive review.
Look at shipping cost some of it is off the top! It is time to take a
breather and we will se a drop in prices. There is a limited market and we are
at least 50%
"We in the description, indicate the is used.
We have to make the best possible treatment, a full refund to you, and pay
for shipping costs $13.17
If you don't change the positive 5 star feedback, we don't pay $13.17 to
you!!
To trouble you, I'm so sorry!"
I will not change my feedback ggg are crooks and they know it. Be
carefully, there are other choices.

I suspect a lot of the ebay sellers are buying stuff from Taobao and
just reselling it. For example, this appears to be the original
source of the FE-5680As which were supplied with the OCXO and socket
(although he seems to have run out of OCXOs now)
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=12204039399 - the price is
interesting, too - 90 RMB (about $15). Of course, they generally won't
ship to addresses outside China.
The bit of his website dealing with oscillators is interesting, too
(in Chinese, but lots of photos) - I suspect some of the other stuff
being sold on ebay is being sourced from him:
