I need tons of tiny push button switches (they need to be thin) such as this for a new project. Less than 50 cents a piece and tons needed, so I can make a good deal (100 or more)

In sufficient quantity you can get tactile switches for similar prices from trusted suppliers.

The difference is that you will get a produce that has a known supplier and specifications.

Sure, sometimes you may not care. But often you do care.

I can send you some excellent fake voltage regulators if you're interested. They're clearly marked and very cheap. How many would you like to purchase from me?

SHOW ME.

"I can send you some excellent fake voltage regulators"
No one is going to set up and make fake voltage regulators that work but are not reliable.
The set-up to make a regulator is enormous.
Thailand is already over-run with hundreds of millions of surplus LEDs, Displays, regulators, chips and components.
How can something be excellent but FAKE ????

It's no wonder I get 7,000 visitors to my website each day.

Even the supplier of last resort sells them for 9c each.

They have excellent markings, but a complete lack of functionality.

Yeah, and I used to admire you. I'm just hoping you're not the real Colin Mitchel.

No. I'm the FAKE Colin Mitchel - just using his name because he died years ago. I stole all his ideas and I'm now making lots of money.

SHOW ME.

How is 9 cents equal to 3 cents ?????

How is post free equal to $39.00 shipping. ?????

RS now have free next day delivery for a $2.00 order!!

In Stock. Free next working day delivery Australia wide when ordered online


That's a change from their $12.00 deliver charge a few years ago.


As I say, "you can't beat the Chinese." They have simply joined them.
