Anyone here buy from Adeleparts2010 on eBay?

[Chuck D. Bones]

They have some tempting offers, but there are some negative reviews alleging bogus parts.

That’s a crapshoot there. My advice is to avoid unless it’s something rare and you’re willing to gamble.

I’ve been burnt there and had some good experiences as well. I won’t go back unless I’m desperate though. I’m guessing this is where you are..

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Not desperate, not yet anyway.
They have PF5102 for a good price and I like those for some of my projects.
Since they are selling thru eBay, I can get a refund if the parts are bogus. The only risk I see is I might be wasting some of my time.

What are they asking for the 5102s and how many are you looking for sailor?

NVM, .31ea @ 50 / $5.00 shipping = .41ea…good price from what I’ve seen.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

100 for $36.24 incl shipping. I bought some on Amazon for $0.50 ea last year, but that seller has now more than doubled their price.

I'll take as many as I can get. Do you know a guy who knows a guy?

I bought some Xvive VTL5C10's from him.
Order came through fine and they "seem" legit. Took a while to get here.
They work well in my Constrictor build.

YMMV

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

I saw that review. Unless I can talk to the person who wrote that, I have no idea whether they know what they're talking about or not. JFETs can be in-spec and not work in a particular circuit. If that person used whether it worked in their circuit to judge if the JFETs were legit or counterfeit, I have my doubts about their assessment.

I should add that negative reviews like the one above are the very reason I came here to seek everyone's wise counsel.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

I'm gonna roll the dice on these. I'll let you know how it turns out. They have some other trannies I'd like to buy as well, but I'll test the waters with these first.

 

[szukalski]

Please do let us know. If they’re the real deal then I’d love to stock up a bit as well

ETA is 9/28.

Personally, if an eBay seller uses PayPal (for protection), has an excellent rating of ≥ 99% and return policy, it's a good bet. At least you can get your money back. If they have a 100% rating, I can live with a no return policy because PayPal will still back you up.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Even if a seller asserts that they have a "no return policy," eBay will still hold them to account if they misrepresent an item for sale. When an electronic part is advertised as "new," that means it meets spec.

I always pay with PayPal and more than once PayPal has backed me up when a deal went south.

Considering the amount of negatives per what adeleparts2010 sells, I would have purchased at that price!
Paypal doesn't take notice of ebay sellers!
Chuck just has to send a Picture of the failed part being tested on Screen & Paypal is obligated to Refund his money!
The only time Paypal will not is if you pay to family or friends!!!
