    Ebay capacitors

    I looked on Ebay for capacitors for price comparison purposes.
    I notice that Ebay is a little used word on this site especially with the word quality.
    I base this on the fact that I do not see ebay listed on the goodcaps/advice sections.

    Therefore, am I right in presuming that ebay is too hit and miss and is also just a dumping ground for infamous badcaps?
    I have also seen ridiculously cheap prices for "rubycon" caps on ebay.
    I show various links for reference.

    That about sums eBay up. Its great if you want second hand bargains (I buy faulty cameras and camcorders from there and get them for next to nothing, spend a few hours fiddling with them to get them working and flog them on for nice profit), but I'd be wary of buying anything 'new' from eBay, and I've rarely found eBay to be cheaper than elsewhere for new items.

    From the first link in your post:
    This is new old stock.
    What's that supposed to mean? How old is this new stock? Is this new stock old or new or what?

    The other links don't really show what your buying and I wouldn't go near them with a bargepole.

      Thanks. I am glad that I was savvy enough to suspect that EBAY would most likely be suspect as a good source, especially with the ridiculously cheap prices.

      "new old stock" lol.

        yk are gp parts.
        but if you watch deals come up if you are willing to buy lots of several thousand.
        for doing 1 or 2 boards you are better off just buying the kits from badcaps.

              I notice that the Rubycons are listed as only having a lifetime of 2000 hours....
              Is this at the 105Celsius temperature?

                I've bought caps from that eBay seller many times before. All the caps are genuine for as far as I know. I've recapped many motherboards and haven't had a problem with these caps. Shipping is fast as well.... especially in times when I need caps in a short time period to fix motherboards for my clients. You can have a look at the link below for some of my personal pics of the caps.

                Thanks.

                  That's a good recommendation for me. Thanks all.

                    by awdrifter
                    I just bought some 1000uF 10v capacitors from eBay to fix my Samsung 2220WM, but it seems like they are already bulging? Are they ok to use? Thanks....

                    After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
                    by dragon3x
                    Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                    power on.

                    Here are some examples :

                    (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
                    switching supply area).
                    (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
                    than 6.3 V.)

                    1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
                    I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
                    3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

                    AA and AAA battery charger capacitors?
                    by slybunda
                    hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
                    it has inside:
                    2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
                    2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon

                    not heard of these brands are they any good?

                    iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of...

                    Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
                    by sam_sam_sam
                    I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                    This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

                    Are there any datasheets available for Elna RJG capacitors?
                    by Ady2017
                    I have a 2007-era Panasonic VHS combo that is full of of Elna RJG capacitors. I am trying to test the capacitors to diagnose the machine and then select replacement capacitors but I can not find any datasheets for them. I did find a Elna catalogue from 2007-2008 but there is no mention of this capacitor series. Where these specially made for Panasonic and so not made available to the public? Any ideas what to find out what the ESR values should be without the datasheets? They are all between 10V and 50V and 47uF and 1800uF. None are leaking or bulged but I know that they need to be tested to be...
