Dirt Cheap bright LEDs for sale!!
Microcontrolled
Posts: 2,461
I just confirmed the buy for 5000 yellow high brightness LEDs. I got them off Ebay as a buy-it-now that someone mislisted. In the description it stated they were 20X more then what they where listed for. They will be great for matrixes, bargraphs, indicators, lighting, etc. They are clear yellow, not diffused. Shipping is cheap, if you order a small amount they will ship in an envelope for about $.50. Email me at corbinadkins@yahoo.com if you want to make an order, PM will not work. Because it could have been a mis-list, trouble may arise and I may not get them in. So if you order and I cannot get them in, then I am sorry.
NAME YOUR PRICE. I will gladly take trade.
UPDATE: The seller has confirmed an order. He had mislisted, but will still send the LEDs. His store is very good, and for large quanity LED orders you should buy from him here: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Transistor-Parts-Wholesale__W0QQ_armrsZ1
Do not contact me if you wish for high quantity orders, I would recommend you just buy straight from him.
······· Thanks, Micro

Why don't you give the seller a break, giving people the benifit of the doubt will help you later in life.
There are times when you should stick to your guns and times that you should not.
Your first post confirms you already knew they were mispriced when you bought them. If you did not, and you originally thought they were marked correctly and you had a product you took orders on that depended on that price then that would be a situation you would want to try and reduce the price and come to an agreement.
Since you knew when you made the transaction, your best policy for the future if you do run across this in the future would be to inform the seller that you think he mispriced an item and confirm the price.
You don't say whoopee i just bought an item at a department store that was mispriced and I got a great deal. You go to the management and tell them of the error don't you?
I can tell you from over 30 years of being a small business man, be honest about your business dealings and you will be rewarded 10 fold. Be a·**** and you will be one of the losers. Just something I learned from the·**** I have delt with over the years.
Anyone else got a proverb they want to add?

Why this post comes to mind? Because I am sick and tired of the vultures out there that think if an old lady drops a $20.00 bill and they pick it up it's there’s to keep. Whatever happened to the 50's where people had respect for each other, pride in doing the right thing and a good old fashioned sunset your girl by your side was all you needed to be happy. I don't much like most of the world we have to live in now because of the attitudes of me, me, me, I want it now it's mine.
Turn the other cheek and give a little, that will make you much happier, you just don't realize it yet. (probbly too young and I bet not a conservative yet)

don't let avarice get the best of you. It was enough of a mistake to be obvious to you that the thing was erroneously listed, so let it pass. You know, what goes around comes around.
be cool,
Just goes to show that sometimes, up-front honesty can actually get you a BETTER deal...
Don't feel bad. I remember reading ancient writings in their original Latin decades ago and what struck me was how familiar the complaints were of the day. O tempora, o mores! was an ancient cry, how the new ways of living were so bad when compared to the good ole fashioned way they used to be. Well, that was thousands of years ago! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_tempora_o_mores! It seems that the older generations have always been appalled at what the younger generation is doing and how they do it, how rude everyone has become. My guess is that this clash of perspectives is some way that society keeps itself stable without being stagnant. Of course you're going to be brash and wild when you're young - that keeps the society alive and dynamic. Of course you're going to be dull and boring when you get old (like me) - that keeps the control rods from popping out and the whole thing from melting down.
As for the reality of the '50's... I'm sure everything looks rosy when you're in your early 20's and you have a job and, like my father, had just finished kicking Nazi butt. But the reality of the times is much like any other. Statistics show you had your teen age pregnancy problems, rampant alcoholism, valium addiction was running wild, etc. They didn't make the movie Rebel Without a Cause for nothin, you know.

So don't be so hard on microcontrolled. It's not the age he lives in. It's just a plain ole human response to a situation. A lowly one, perhaps, but I'm sure he'll get over it.

The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea;
Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.

Problem with the 4 legs RGB is you can't breadboard them. Soon I will have my 8 x 8 circuit board CNC and make whatever boards I need.
The 5mm RGB LED's here are using the 90V constant current device with various string lengths, they really work nice for constant current especially with 12V batteries for example, single input single output to led and led to ground. 20mA is set.
and yes i need to clean my bench but I will have 1500 sq feet soon in my refurbed garage and new heater for winter. My wife said i could get a Smithy 3 in 1 home Mill, lathe, drill press as she has confidence I can make some money creating stuff. She is very nice.

Do the RIGHT thing.
Well, if you want to abandon ethics and move into legalities, even the law allows for misprints, etc. in advertising and such. The guy will probably not send you the stuff anyway, and you'll have no course for restitution since it has cost you nothing to get "burned" by this bad contract. Even if you were to sue the guy, you'd have to prove that his misprint or whatever caused you some sort of damage. Except for putting a damper on your greed, what other damages have been done to you?
There's an old saying, you know: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Reign in the greed here and move on to better things.
just as a perspective ... if I personally had come across this Ebay offer, I would have emailed the seller pointing out that he/she might have made an errant pricing. ... and I wouldn't do it with the expectation that he would come back and say, no, the price is as it is. Nor would I expect thanks for pointing it out. (And if you don't believe this, then I can only say that I've often PM'ed or emailed forum members here when I see their prices or links are bad.)
You're young... I'm old ... so let an old guy say that the the old "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is not just a saying - it's like a Star Wars Force. If you don't live by it, sooner or later, you'll get your behind kicked by someone who knows how to use the dark side of the Force. The only protection we have is INTEGRITY.
sincerely,
Howard

Another example would be buying a rare item at a garage sale for 10 bucks and it's worth a million. Even if you knew it was worth a million the fact the owner in this case knew the led's were worth 20x more and simply made an error in the advertising. He clearly would not have advertised that price if he knew the mistake had been made. This is different from being unaware of the value of an item and selling it.
Now one would hope if someone bought an old painting at your garage sale and found it to be worth a million that the buyer would throw you a bone but that would be up to the buyer.
Suppose an old lady drops a 100 on the floor when she pays for her prescription at the local drug store. If she fails to pick it up should you swoop in and say it's mine, i found it? I would say excuse me mam you dropped a 100. She might just have millions and give me a new house for being a stand up guy.

metron9 has a very good point. Your situation is NOT the same as that of somebody who buys a van Gogh at a junk store for $1 and turns around to sell it for $80 million. In the case of the van Gogh, the purchaser has knowledge that the junk dealer does not have. In your case, the dealer KNOWS the value of his product but has made a simple mistake. If he did not know the value of his product, then he wouldn't be trying to back out of the deal right now.
Somebody who rescues a van Gogh from the garbage deserves his dollar. Somebody who rescues a van Gogh from getting ripped from its frame so somebody could frame a paint-by-numbers portrait of a cat inside the frame deserves $80 million. You rip off this ebay dealer and points will get subtracted from your karma, I'm afraid.

So, please reassure us. Which was the take-home lesson here:
A. Always treat people the way you want to be treated, or
B. When you take advantage of someone, keep your mouth shut about it so you won't be thought ill of?
