many years ago, i participated in a group buy at diyaudio,
i spent U$240, lost to a guy from Indonesia...those were for 10 pcs each of Toshiba
p and n type dual jfets...when the goods arrived, they were relabeled npn and pnp dual bjt's instead.
never got my money back, i still have those fakes with me as a reminder...
