I ordered some of the Supertech electrolytic caps from Affinity for Artifacts just to check out quality. The seller on eBay stated that in 2022, he put in a bulk order in various values and various form factors. The shrink wrap over the caps he recieved was identical looking to the Supertech caps described on their website.

I peeled off the shrink wrap label and found this:



Not sure what to think about this. As commented, many here don't trust any product that's not from the major manufacturers of electrolytic capacitors. These look like Supertech but obviously are not. The eBay seller is the same seller of the MPT yellow caps that some on this forum are utilizing in their projects. Two different products...same seller. Does anyone have feedback on this other than the risk of getting counterfeit products when you don't buy reputable brands? I know the risks, but I'm confused and do not think the seller would sell both reputable and disreputable products coming from the same source or maybe it was him who got scammed in his bulk order. I don't know.
