I might buy a couple things, but I would feel better about it if someone had a positive experience.

Thanks

    I have no experience with them, but they are out of Hong Kong, so I wouldn't buy from them. Then again, if you buy with a credit card and something goes wrong, I guess you could always cancel the purchase.

    I just noticed they have a "store" on ebay, 100+ positives but 6 people did not recieve with no explanation.

    Yeah, with them in Hong Kong and all it would be tough for me to throw rocks through their window if the deal went bad.

    That's some cool stuff there! I'd like to do one of those tube power amps. Seems like pretty good prices too.

    For what it's worth, I bought 48 naners from Hong Kong from a guy with 100% feedback and I had them in 2 or 3 weeks. No big deal. People in Hong Kong care about their reputation too.

    These heavier items are about $20 plus $2 per pound rough numbers. Not bad. Not much more than coast to coast UPS. Also, there is a lot of nice tube audio stuff available from Thailand. For some reason, shipping from Thailand is about half what it is from Hong Kong. Gives the Thais an advantage.

    It's odd that they don't have any mention of payment options. I'd definitely not trust paypal to sort out a problem. Credit card or escrow for something expensive.
