I have ordered hiogh power LEDs from a couple of the chinese vendors that sell on ebay. I find that they are not usually first quality parts. I have received some parts with bubbles in the lenses!

I don't know about the discrete transistor offerings, but I'd say be prepared to test the parts when you get them. Sending parts back for replacement is likely to cost you more than the parts are worth, so maybe it is best to order extras and expect to have to throw some away.
