[sdiy] OT: LittleDiode Components on eBay

[Richie Burnett]

I ordered five ISS133 diodes from them a few years ago,  (little 
1N914/1N4148 type diodes used in old Roland kit.)

They arrived safely, and seem to be genuine parts.  But were very expensive. 
It wasn't the £1.50 per diode that grated with me, as much as them 
multiplying the £2 postage/packing charge by the quantity as well!!! 
(Despite me specifically marking the order for consolidated postage and 
packaging.)  As you might imagine all 5 diodes neatly fitted into one corner 
of a standard first-class letter envelope with plenty of room left for the 
receipt for £17.50 !

-Richie,

I've bought a couple of things off then when desperate (they are very over 
priced) but everything always seemed legit.
Admittedly, I didn't buy BBD chips...
