Would someone tell me why these are selling for so much?

[MarkDonMel]

It may not be that much, I don't know actually.  I am a beginner and I have no idea what to think about this.  I was just curious about them, and hope maybe someone can tell me what they can be used for and stuff.

Thanks, Matt.

collectors.. "gotta get 'em all!"  :lol:

incidentally, if you are curious about a particular transistor usually you get hits in google. this was the first non XXX hit for that one.

51 dollars for 4 transistors  :shock: Wow... That's insane!

Ah, I see...  Well it makes sense, I guess I never saw them as collectibles.

Thanks for the info.

Matt.
