[sdiy] White LED Source

[Amos]

Be careful with the Hong Kong sellers... many are probably reliable, but I
won & paid for a batch of Red/Blue bicolor LEDs from the seller "*
spectrumleds*<http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=spectrumleds&item=7574969754&iid=7574969754&frm=1883&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:SID>"
23 days ago and have had no communication and no LEDs so far... waiting for
a reply to my "contact this seller" attempt, but suspecting that the money
is gone and I will need to try again.  No point complaining to Baywatch, as
they don't care the tiniest bit about ripped-off buyers as long as they get
their cut of the take.
As always check feedback and seller's history... happy hunting
