[Milsurplus] 1N21RF Diodes

[J. Forster]

I said the price was high, IMO.

These are outside the normal products Steve sells (phone gear), so he may
not be really familiar with the going prices. I do know that surplus
dealers routinely ask a high price for stuff they are unfamiliar with.
It's easy to cut prices, and hard to raise them. Hence, start high.

FWIW,
