Title: WTB: PCB Mounting Feet
Post by: BenDalton on October 17, 2005, 04:32:30 pm: I've seen these on ebay for 2 bucks for four and 5 bucks shipping and handling and happs has them, but it just seems ridiculous to pay 5 bucks for shipping and handling on 40cents worth of plastic.

So, does anyone have any of these laying around that they might be willing to throw into an envelope for me?? I'm looking for either a set of 4 or up to 12 to have around as spares.

I don't mind paying a few bucks for them, I just don't like getting ripped off...

thanks!

Ben

Good luck,

Don't they collapse easily?
