15 NOS Rubycon 100uf, 160v Electron Transfer Black Gate NH Capacitors,

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).

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.


Sometimes people jack up the price when the item goes out of stock, then
drop it again when it's in stock again.
