Okay, I give:

I was planning on using any money those IGBT's brougnt in to buy other 
parts which would be sold at cost or darn close to it.  Point well taken 
though, but I just can't give these darn things away, how about this, for 
those on the list 10.00 each and 4 for 35.00. At those prices it should be 
affordable to most and I'll always consider trades.
