I've had pretty good luck buying what I had to have for prototypes, even in considerable quantity, via eBay. I've bought used test equipment, IC's, wire, cable, hand tools, etc, each with pretty good result. Likewise (though not "considerable quantity"). If you spend any time looking at eBay's offerings, I believe you'll find that there's more risk than with Mouser or Digikey Some ebay vendors are just another outlet for a "proper" commercial seller - tax registered and everything - so there's really no extra risk there. Some, of course, may be a little more risky - but, as you say, usually worth it. |
