Anyone buy BBD from Tinkersphere? AVOID!

[Betty Wont]

Tinkersphere seems to be to only US supplier with MN3007 right now. Has anyone bought components like these from them? Any issues? Everything seems legit, but I've never sourced from them before and I don't hear them come up.

They look to be out of stock. Hopefully you were able to buy some, that's a good price

I did grab a few. Must've bought them out. I'll report back on what I get.

They were fakes. Bad looking fakes that did nothing. Tinkersphere isn't refunding either. Avoid.

What reason have they given for not refunding and how did you pay them?

Their reason is "no guarantees they will work in your project, no open product returns." They had it in sealed packaging. I CAN get my money back, the point is they are dishonorable merchants.

Interesting. Sorry they won't refund you, that sucks. It's disappointing the market is getting more and more fakes...

Wow that's really shitty. I hope you get your money back and thanks for the heads up.

That sucks. Seems like fakes are becoming a bigger and bigger problem. I can tell you I ordered a mn3007 from small bear about a month ago and it works great. But it was 12 bucks. But they are super reputable so you know what you’re getting is real
