15 NOS Rubycon 100uf, 160v Electron Transfer Black Gate NH Capacitors,
are up to $2141.00 bid (plus shipping), on ebay, with 3+ days left to
go.

I know these are supposed to be the best caps, but are these caps made
out of gold? Why would anyone pay that much for them? (and the bidding
is not over yet).

If thats out of your price range, you can always buy one VINTAGE NOS
(untested) Sprague .022 uf 200v 20% Bumble Bee Capacitor for $39
(shipping included), as a Buy it Now.

Why? Folks pay all sorts of crazy money for things they want. These are 100uf at 160V, and they're bipolar. Maybe for some magical crossover network perhaps.


As for the second link, it's a "buy it now". Asking isn't the same as getting.
