I have bought alot of noce stuff from this seller: bg2014-manue (sorry, can't find an url link via my annoying iphone ebay app)
Be aware that the beautiful girl on the profile picture is his daughter, who set up the profile, but daddy took it over instead of creating his own.
Anyway:
He's got alot of nice transistors and diodes + a bunch of other nice stuff as well.
The transistors that I have measured so far has both nice gain and low leakage, and are very consistent.
But most of all I have to mention that he was very happy to hear that I was stocking up for pedal production, and not buing them in order to put them back on ebay with a triple pricetag, just necause you include the word fuzz to it...
He wanted me to notify the DIY crowd, that he will not run out of MP13/20/38/39's and 9D(x) diodes anytime soon. He also told me that he has an insane amount of capacitors that he has not looked trough and posted on ebay yet.
To compensate for the postage costs after combining my orders, we agreed that he would include some samples of some other stuff that might be interesting for me...
I could not believe my own eyes when I opened up the package. There was an increadable amount of extra stuff in there, amongst them a wide selection of MKT/Film/Tantilum and very small size Electrolytic Caps (meaning: physicaly small, not small values), that we will probably see posted on ebay very soon...
Not just great products, but also a very nice and posetive person to deal with. Highly recomended!
