I sometimes buy single parts or small quantity on ebay. The price can be
pretty good, delivery is quick and often without s/h charges.
However, it is a slight gamble. For example, a few PL-259's i recently
bought: the shell on one would not thread correctly. They looked like
genuine Amphenol as far as I could tell. (I know Amphenol is made in
China nowadays so maybe the QC is not what it used to be. Or else the
factory "seconds" are making it to market via back channel merchandising...)

Thanks, Don. Very helpful, as always.
My e-mail was alive with suggestions today, giving me an education in
modern online retailing. For example, on E-Bay there is now going on what
looks like a competitive auction for 17 DB9 backshells in quantities of
one each. The current bids are at $2.85. Eight of the original 25 have
been sold, and there are a handful of potential buyers doing something
called ³watching.² Indeed. Some people must have a lot of time on their
hands. Or is competitive shopping a new sport? I don¹t understand it;
but then, my wife doesn¹t understand radiosport contesting either.
I¹ll end my part in this thread now, with thanks to the many who replied
off-line and on.
Cheers,
Ted, KN1CBR
