content: Hello everyone, I have 98 of these adapters, 5V 300mA output they come individually boxed in nice plain white boxes. They are nice and small and light, ideal for powering small projects / products.I'm looking for £0.50 each + postage to your good selves or make me an offer on a decent quantity. they weigh 75g each in the box so postage for one in the UK is £1.33 (accounting for a total packed weight of up to 100g) naturally on postage the more are sent the cheaper it becomes per unit.Naturally I take PayPal, cheque also accepted (once cleared)Simon

content: Sadly that's still not enough, need some boost caps or other temporary storage to built up enough cranking energy over time from the 5V 300mA.These are the boost caps im talking about
