So, after bugging out and living in the Australian bush for a few years and running into some issues with my landlord (covid profiteering), it has come time for me to re-enter society.
I have carted these components around with me for years, always planning to put them to good use, but I usually end up buying new stuff for my builds and pretty much exclusively SMD these days, so the pile gets larger and larger. I'm also undertaking a 3d printed smallsyns build 'unexpectedly' and would like to offset that.
Too many things to photograph all separately and the majority are in as new condition, but I will take photos of anything potential buyers wish to see (particularly the pulls and pics of the rare trannies to show legitimacy as I dont have the original full Toshiba boxes).
Prices are in USD, but if any Aussies want to purchase, i'm happy to just do the straight conversion (not paypal conversion, just pay me the USD price converted at the current market rate).
Most is not large enough to cause too much expense, or trouble with international shipping, so if you will pay it, i'll send it. Happy to accept USD via paypal also if you would rather avoid conversion.
I have tried to price things fairly vs current market rate by searching around and comparing to what I paid if I have records. I have not searched exhaustively for the cheapest new price (not clearance) so if you think something is priced too high and can show me somewhere it is cheaper, do let me know, maybe we can work something out. No comments on absolute value of some of the more esoteric items please, I wont enter into it 🙂 My own views have changed over time, but that doesnt mean I want to give them away (although I will very likely give some stuff away towards the end, maybe for a donation to the forum.
I will entertain deals for multiple purchases, just PM me.
OK, so time is moving along and quite a few (most) of the transistors have sold

Sure. I do need to make 100% sure I still have the entire 100, but i'm 99% I do. I have minimum 50 x GR. its early AM here. can I get back to you to confirm in say 8hrs? i'm about to crash. shoot me a PM so its at the front of my mind in the morning.
Morning Guys!! Wow, I guess I priced the toshibas too well eh? 😛 Let me grab a coffee/brekky, go through my PMs and see who got in first; then come back and update the list, as well as checking exactly what I have and see if if I can spare some more bulk. As of probably about 15 mins after I crashed, they were all spoken for (at least the bulk, unmatched) Thanks for the interest so far!
Thanks jean-paul, yes, unfortunately I am not alone, many people have had issues relating o this phenomenon. Unfortunately this was also a VERY old friend, so thats a loss as well. Anyway life goes on and honestly its probably for the best.
just a casual bag of film capacitors ... I named it ALLTHEFILMCAPS, but thats a lie. will list some more tonight or in the morning. i've replied to everyone so far I think. will update the OP once payments start coming in for those and will list some more bits and pieces.
Being remote, i'm trying to get some Toshibas sent off to Akhil aka al2002. Money is in hold by paypal anyway ... scammers, as I havent used the account for accepting for a while and its a significant sale, so they flagged the transaction are making money on the short term market with our money along with the almost 10% they are making on the transfer ... erm, I mean holding it for his/our safety 😛
but having gone into my local PO, they say they cant do ECI courier express, only standard express, so i'm having to do the label and all customs documents at home and buy the print label for my postie to pick up as a favour, or just be ready for when I can make it into the nearest large PO that does accept courier pickup (Maryborough) on Monday. I have no objection. the money gets released when the package is tracked to arrive and no complaint, so we're good in the end.
anyway, my question is. can somebody help me out with the correct import tariff # (10 digit I think?) for transistors/electronic components into the USA for the declaration?

Just hoping the hive mind here can help out, as the quick google I did earlier seemed to be headed down a rabitt-hole of government related websites and no clear answer. bit run off my feet and hoping someone can help me out. pretty sure some of you guys and gals have been through this before.
Thanks so much @swich401 ! much appreciated; I hadnt made much headway in my search last night before I had to crash and didnt get any replies to the thread I started to this end.
Hey guys. Sorry as mentioned above, I’m moving at the moment, so may not be as responsive this week. I’ll get to your pms in a moment.
