PSA Hammond transformer blowout
all;
maybe old news to some here but, Hammond is being blown out on ebay. user emeve-7733 (which, as it turns out, is actually Mouser) seems to be clearing the decks.

Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
Can't find that seller at all. Any chance you could post a link?
Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
Go to eBay's Advanced search options, scroll down, find field for Seller Name.

Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
Best prices I've seen. Beats Hawk Electronics. If I needed one of the offerings, I would certainly buy it.
Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
Looks tempting, but seems a bit too good to be true. Handful of negative reviews say they never shipped. Also, If this is Mouser, why would they go through eBay and why would they be in New York? There's at least one other seller with the same 2x Hammond transformer deal in a different city in New York. Can anyone verify this isn't a scam?

Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
I've already received a couple of chokes and a PT.
Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
Cool, thanks. Will probably give it a shot. Still seems suspicious to me, though I guess eBay has some buyer protections.

Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
I just got a "hinky" message from the seller. suggest a halt on this until such a time as I can clarify.
Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
Placed an order before getting the warning. Some of it has arrived, indeed from mouser. Closer inspection of the 2pcs Hammond eBay accounts, I believe they are one or many Sri Lankan laundromats with eBay accounts in the states, drop shipping through Mouser. Possible they just have a big Mouser gift card, or they are really bad at math, or something, but likely something shady that benefits most parties enough that the powers that be will ignore things until they cause problems. Just a guess... I will stay away from now on.

Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
the message I got from the seller said that "... the warehouse" didn't want to ship to my address any more and requested an alternate. (weird, yes, I know) I added my next door neighbor's address to my ebay account and notified the seller but
have yet to receive a reply or any tracking info.
one of my PT orders was cancelled and payment promptly refunded. I received my first batch of chokes w/o issue and am waiting on 2 more chokes as well as a couple more PTs. payment by paypal (credit card) so I'm reasonably assured I won't lose any $$$.
my sense is that someone is selling product out the back door.

Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
@Max ... hopefully all your stuff arrived OK. the shipping glitch aside, I redirected a couple of things to my next door neighbor, all of my orders came through.
Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
Glad your stuff was sorted out. I didn't have any issues, aside from the moral questions. I don't think there is any chance someone is stealing from Mouser and still using their shipping department. This is 100% a drop shipping thing. Sri Lankan laundromat is my best guess. Ebay, Hammond, Mouser, and whoever is buying are getting a good deal, so unlikely they will complain regardless of how suspicious it seems.

Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
I ordered two chokes. Came in about 4 days later, in a mouser box. They look right, no issues. Pleased with the price/purchase.

Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout
Ordered a pt and OT for a home brew amp I want to make for a Leslie 125…been looking forever for a cheap (<$100) donor PA amp for this purpose, but at this price, getting what I want would be better, assuming I get them that is.
