Who wants diodes?

Post by nbabmf »

I hope this is alright to post here.

I have a couple hundred each of 1N276, 1N34A, and 1N60P germanium diodes that I'll sell in small-ish quantities for 20 cents each. I don't want to get cleaned out, but as with the I had to buy a TON to get a good price. Why buy 20 of something when you can by 200 for the same price?

I've been using these diodes for a number of overdrives and fuzzes, and they sound great.

PM me if you're interested.

The local surplus joint had a box of about a 1,000 1N4001 diodes for about $90 plus tax. I'll never go through that many, but I wanted to stock up for when I do repairs for protection diode replacement (these make great clipping diodes, too). I bought the box and I can pass the savings on. Most places seem to sell them for 20-50 cents each. I can drop any quantity in an envelope and send them out for 10 cents each.

I also have a couple hundred each of 1N276, 1N34A, and 1N60P germanium diodes that I'll sell in small-ish quantities for 25 cents each. I don't want to get cleaned out, but as with the I had to buy a TON to get a good price. Why buy 20 of something when you can by 200 for the same price?

PM me if you're interested.


DUDE... are you saying you ACTUALLY paid the $90?? tell me there are way more than a 1,000 in there...... :picard:

OH, and not to sound like i'm bagging on you FYI... you should know that when i'm building it's almost ALWAYS the 1n4001's that i run out of AND DON'T KNOW IT... and it is a shit moment indeed....
