Has anyone ever dealt with a company called "components-center (dot) com"?

This company seems to have a good price on TDK ceramic "doorknob" capacitors, but the price almost seems to good to be true.

I just sent them an inquiry by email, so while I await a reply I thought I'd ask if anyone's familiar with the company.

Not run into them before. Its possible they are reselling Russian surplus, if so then yes they should be fine.

Unfortunately they have not yet responded to my email inquiry. I'll wait another day or so before I give up on them.

If I can get 10 of those caps for less than $300, USD I'll probably do it, as that would be less than half the price from places like Mouser, Newark, etc.

I used to get the 2000pF 30KVDC ones off of Ebay for about $20 - $22 each when I bought them 10 at a time.

I've been doing the same thing with TDK UHV-12A caps. I was able to get a fairly good deal buying them on ebay in lots of 10.

I wanted to get 10 more but the ebay source has apparently "dried up", so now I'm looking for other sources.
