Personally I wont buy components off ebay.
I only buy from top quality UK vendors.
Its just not worth the risk.

I agree, while I use ebay for many things, I would not buy parts, especially from Asia.
Ha-ha. Where do you think they are coming from to quality vendors?
Philippines, Vietnam, Mexico, .....
For discrete, even China is too expensive these days !!

You can buy fakes in America from places like MCM. But I've never had any problems with DigiKey. They seem to be on top of the fake semiconductor problem.

I was talking about ebay, not trusted vendors or suppliers.

why? Asians are cheaters?🙄 today how many american giants are depending on Asians for their businesses?

indeed they are, but at the same time asians are most definitely making a business out of selling knock off fake electronic parts on ebay. this is not a prejudice thing, some great stuff and great people come from asia, but you have your head in the sand if you think that the majority of 'audiophile grade' parts for sale on ebay from asia are legit, I would stay well away!!
this is not isolated to Asia, but it sure predominates there; basically the old addage 'if it seems to good to be true it probably is' applies in spades

Why bother with fleapay when you can get them from Digikey for $4.54, 1,192 of them in stock. It's hard enough getting real ones from legit companies to even think about getting them from the orient UNLESS it's an obsolete item in which case you just take your chances.

What is your experience from MCM? What did you buy that you thought was fake? I have never had a problem with them.

3GGG,
Mouser has it at 3.25 each for 10-99 quantity. 40 of them will be $130 + a few $$ shipping, so total will be like $150. But you can be sure Mouser sells real. The ebay deal is $60 shipped, but it can be fake or real. No one can really tells until tested.
I will say this is pretty much a case of whether it is worth to take a risk of losing $60 (fake) vs saving $90 (real). If you feel the saving is worth the risk, then go for it. You can always dispute if the tested bad.
FWIW, there are fake gold (not pure, mixed with other metal) in Hong Kong. Even the locals are not immune ........

Zhou is in Asia, isn't he ?
I thought anything Asian is fake ??

PS I have bought enough stuff from Zhou. I have no problems buying from this Chinese gentleman residing in Singapore.
And I know my trusted supplier in Germany gets his stuff from Asia anyhow.

I said nothing of the sort, I knew SOMEONE would take what I said out of context, but I guess I gave you more credit than that. I said buying fro undisclosed sources in asia on ebay was risky for getting fakes and you would have to be a bit dim to disagree there IMO. I also buy all manner of things fro asia with very good results, good people do good things no matter where they are from
