Why is not everyone buying this sort of kit from ebay?

...i mean, just about everything  in electronics test is massively cheaper on ebay...just looked at an 0805 resistor book (8500pcs) for £34....thats well over £100 on farnell/RS etc etc
Can anybody explain this?.....ive been to >40 electronics co's in UK, and none ever asked me to get test kit from ebay.

So you save £13 now.  Then later, when the (ebay) potentially fake/substandard/poor-quality, one fails.  You then static (ESD) damage/destroy a £1,000 unit, for a big customer.  They get annoyed with your lack of quality, and cancel a £35,000 order.  Also, you lose hundreds of thousands of pounds in lost, future business from that now unsatisfied/annoyed customer.

Wait a minute, I forgot.  You're a hobbyist ONLY.  So, no problem, as no customers, and no expensive devices, that may get damaged.  Only a £0.03 (3 pence)  non-DC rated fuse, which you saved 3 pence on getting the correctly rated fuse.

As a hobbyist you only saved a total of 3 pence on the fuse, as you only needed one of them.  But the pennies eventually add up, over time.   :)

You did and despite what Dave said in the Supporters board:

Do you think, that this person/OP, has made a truthful, accurate, real questioning thread here?

Or do you suspect it is a trolling/false, time-wasting one?
