I don't need one before I get swamped with letters, but it's an absolute hoot. An OC71 on E-Bay cost's £20.00. I can understand it for an ECLL86 or EM85 but a poxy germanium transistor. I was just browsing through curiously. Why do people even list them, are the public so gullible. I swore under my breath buying gate controlled switches that blew on the Sony KV1810's. But this exceeds it. Oh, I'm selling my o\c fuses, anyone need some!

Sorry, but you can't discuss eBay items on here.

Something is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it, even though in our opinion they may have more money than sense.
