Hi

I have over $30K USD worth of components that are excess inventory. Not
obsolete components... all new and in packaging where applicable.

I tried offering it to some of the surplus component dealers but the
offerings were so low it was stupid. Some clown actually offered me
$200.00 for the lot. I'm not expecting full price here...but a reasonable
offer would be nice.

Is there a better way to sell this stuff at a reasonable price?

Anybody?

Maybe break it up in "categories". Some may be interested in one category
over another. List the types of components. Saying you have a "lot" - isn't
really descriptive. Could be parts - even if new, that few can use. For
example, if all or most are pertaining to UHF or more so Microwave, I may
not have need as I don't dabble much in UHF and haven't gotten interested in
Microwave. Perhaps put some bulk deals together - bricks of packages and
offer them at a price you feel ok with - be it on here, E-Bay, Hamfest,
where - ever. You may have a huge "lot" of resistors someone will snap up
and a "lot" of special chips that many won't. You may have to attract
different crowds to sell it all.

There are many here - although maybe not "dealers", they do a lot of
homebrewing, repairs, etc... who would help deplete your inventory a lot
faster if they only knew what you're offering and can buy a smaller
quantity. With the electronics market as it is, many may be afraid to invest
in such quantity in case they would get stuck with it, as you appear now to
be. While my ideas may present some more effort, at least they may help do
the job. Ya got to do what it takes to sell the stuff off.
Maybe too, you could "trade" some of it off for something. Look online too -
for "bulk purchasers". Maybe you'll find a listing or two for places other
than those you've tried. They are out there. Consider your prices as well.
Often when someone says they want to "clear out", prices make all the
difference. To many - "clearing out inventory" - the prospective buyer
expects a nice discount. In my own sales, though I do list "a" price, I'm
usually pretty flexible, unless I'm selling on consignment. If it's my stuff
and I want to clear it out, usually any reasonable offer takes it. It's
either that or eat it......

Let us know what ya have.......... Hopefully with that size of inventory,
you have it on computer..... I can't imagine you have no idea as to type,
quantity, price per piece.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the quick reply cl. Sounds like a good approach.

The entire component list is of course on computer. Loosely, it is
composed of caps and resistors, various data IC's, and connectors.

Unfortunately the list is unsorted in terms of category or use...so it
will take a bit of time to reorganize it into a fashion that might be
more attractive to buyers.

Just by way of example, here are a few items from the list:

442pcs. tantalum caps 330uf 10v SMT asking $650.00 lot (cost $3.00)

14 pcs. Analog Devices ADV611JST Wavelet compression chip $420.00 lot
(cost $60.00 each)

22pcs. Atmel FPGA (SMT) ATK40K10-2BQC asking $550.00 lot (cost $50.00 each)

56pcs. CAT28C256P-20 DIP Eproms asking $280.00 lot (cost $10.00 each)

842pcs. IRC part number LR2010-01-R075-F .075 ohm low inductance SMT
resistors $400.00 lot (cost $1.00 each)

4000 pcs. Philips MRS25F-3.32K 1/4 watt resistors $

135pcs Philips PCA8515T/005 OSD IC (SMD Package) $1300.00 lot (cost
$20.00 each)

83pcs. 6X2 header, Tyco part 103167-3 $250.00 lot (cost $6.00 each)

2488pcs. 0.01uf SMT capacitor 12062R103K9BB2 $140.00 (cost 11 cents each.)

158pcs. Weco connector 121-A-111/11 $300.00 lot (cost $3.80 each)



Basically looking for half price.

I'll get to work assembling a complete list in a categorized form and
post again.

Meantime, if anyone is interested in the above...please email.

VISA, Master Card, Amex, and even CASH accepted!

Surplus components obtained in the way you probably did were ordered for a
specific project. They may have cost big bucks but finding someone with a
similar project is very slim because most will get them from a source with
guarantees. You'll be lucky to get more than a few cents on the dollar and
it'll take a big effort and a long time as they depreciate.

Looking at the very clear picture I must say for starters that I

construction standards than are obvious on the pcb eg. cheap carbon
film resistors, looks like phenolic board instead of fibreglass and no
conformal coating to eliminate moisture ingress due to condensation.

I assume the smaller terminal is the one which remains open when the
relay is operated. There is much smaller contact area on the larger
terminals than the smaller and this may indicate two different contact
pip materials. I would have thought that the larger surface area on
the unused contact would be the preferred contact since it has greater
current carrying and breaking capacitor than the larger. It may be
that the larger terminal is used due to the higher tension it offers
during operation thus minimising any tendency to contact bounce which
would produce arcing and accelerate wear. Even so, I can't imagine any
good reason for not employing the extra contact set in the first place
since the small additional load on the relay magnet would be unlikely
to affect the operate and release times to any degree.

 

[Henry Kolesnik]

nospam on the pix site thinks its a pre-make relay..
perhaps the first takes the arc and the second come into play later..
I'm going to test and see what happens under load..

The output of that chip is practically what you want already. It's a

What are you trying to do with this cheap RC chip? For $25.00 you
can pick up a used RC system with 2 servos on Ebay. Quick and easy to
work with and has a 1/2 mile range.

controller has died, and was wondering if anyone might know a source
for this part.

I would investigate which of the usual functions are still working:
preamp(s), AM/FM tuner, display, amps. You may be right, but I fixed
an receiver last year which didn't light up, had no display, but still
amplified. It was easy to fix once I found the schematic; it was just
an open resistor that fed a power supply which only powered the tuner
and display.

I was expecting all kinds of expensive problems, but then it turned
out to be simple and cheap.

It was long thought that competitor end-user-product manufacturers

And according to my equivalents data book the 1N616 equates to the
Philips AA113,4...etc. I have a Philips (Miniwatt in Australia) short
form data book from 1964 and this only mentions the AA119 which
superseded the AA113,4...etc. The AA series used a white spot or band
to indicate the cathode and this style was referred to as case style
14. They also had a case style 24 which is exactly the same as the
1N616 in question which uses a red end on the glass body to indicate
cathode. It is likely that Philips just badged their AA113 as 1N616
and marked it to conform to case style 24 for the USA market.

The AA119 is listed as a Ge point contact diode suitable for detector
use (similar to 1N60 et al). Other data;

Vd (cont) 30V, Vd(max) 45V
Id (cont) 35mA, Id (max) 100mA
Tamb (max) 60C
At 25C Vd=0.88V for Id=1.0mA
Rev leakage Id @ Vd(30V)=150uA max

Is this diode made by Amperex? See ABSE for picture. It's a
1N616, and
it says Holland on it, but nothing else. The packet it came in was
handwritten Amperex. Can I assume that it was really made by
Amperex?

Or Philips, in reality: Amperex is one of their (formerly
innumerable)
brand-names in various countries, from the days when they seldom
marked
components 'Philips' except in the Netherlands

It was long thought that competitor end-user-product manufacturers
wouldn't be too happy to fill their equipment with components marked
with the name of a rival ...


And according to my equivalents data book the 1N616 equates to the
Philips AA113,4...etc. I have a Philips (Miniwatt in Australia) short
form data book from 1964 and this only mentions the AA119 which
superseded the AA113,4...etc. The AA series used a white spot or band
to indicate the cathode and this style was referred to as case style
14. They also had a case style 24 which is exactly the same as the
1N616 in question which uses a red end on the glass body to indicate
cathode. It is likely that Philips just badged their AA113 as 1N616
and marked it to conform to case style 24 for the USA market.

The AA119 is listed as a Ge point contact diode suitable for detector
use (similar to 1N60 et al). Other data;

Vd (cont) 30V, Vd(max) 45V
Id (cont) 35mA, Id (max) 100mA
Tamb (max) 60C
At 25C Vd=0.88V for Id=1.0mA
Rev leakage Id @ Vd(30V)=150uA max

Thanks for the info. I got the .JPG from datasheetarchive, and that
spec said the case was the small glass case like the later and more
common Ge diodes came in, like the 1N270, etc. I guess the same thing
happened to this as happened to the 1N34, everyone had their own idea of
what it was supposed to be.

I once accidently broke open one of those thin glass cases, and it was
filled with silicone gel, got the goop all over everything. Yuck. The
glass was too flimsy.
