He's got 'make offer'.
Send some links to appropriate posts here.
Then see how much he'll pay you to take them.

Maybe it was pulled from a GeForce 7!

Wouldn't be surprised if it was from a 7600 like mine!

GeForce 7s are like the Epox of video cards!

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

I might buy a few just to see whether they are really Sacon FZ or if he just used them in the picture. If they are really FZ, I'll blow them up.

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

not just sacon, but sacon fz?

WTF!

this is worse than an epic fail...

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

I bought 1 lot of them. I'll let you guys know what ends up happening.

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

AU$9 for those little turds?!?!
Maybe if the seller paid me to take them, I might consider.
...
I see there's been 1 offer made. c_hegge, was that you? These scamming bastards don't deserve your money, and neither does ebay for letting that crap fly.
*** EDIT ***
Ah. How much did you buy them for?

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

I agree... don't buy obvious fakes... you're feeding the b*astards

[c_hegge]

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

Yup, the offer was indeed me. lowest he would go was $8.93 for 10 of them (only a saving of $0.06 ) I'm gonna let the seller know that they aren't nippons, and that he should at least advertise them as sacon FZ... after leaving negative feedback for an inaccurate descripton.

FWIW, I don't see this as $9 for some junk caps, I see it as $9 for some awesome fireworks

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

ebay zhangrunfun has plenty of cheapos, fakes, counterfiets, and mismatched pictures. The mismatched pictures seem quite generic as if there because no real picture has been taken. I see a Sanyo WG with a Sanyo OSCon SEPC picture. I'd leave "10 xNIPPON 16V 1000UF Radial Electrolytic Capacitor" with the Sacon FZ picture alone unless you plan to clean up all their auctions. The fakes won't disappear, only gain better pictures, which will make matters worse.

perhaps you could rig a reverse polarity setup and bomb one that way...

Hey, for kicks measure their actual ESR before you blow them up.

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

I don't have an ESR meter

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

Put them in a junk motherboard, then let it to fold and see how long they last. Bonus points if you recap the power supply for that computer with those caps as well.

[c_hegge]

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

I don't have any old motherboards ATM. I have one that needs a re-cap, but it's a keeper, so I'm gonna use sanyo and rubycon on it.

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

I finally got them. They are indeed sacon FZ. I let the seller know and he's gonna refund me. I'll just use them as firecrackers

[mazdaverx7]

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

at least he was kind enough to refund your money. perhaps he will think twice before trying to pull a fast one or listing an item he has no knowledge of.

[c_hegge]

Re: Fleabay "Nippon" fakes

Hopefully.

I also advised him to change the description to Sacon, although I have my doubts as to whether he will.
