Picked up a bad batch of capacitors from a job lot in Detroit last month

Honestly, I bought 500 of these cheap caps from a surplus place in Detroit and half of them failed within two weeks on the bench. Now I'm stuck redoing a bunch of power supply repairs for free. Has anyone else run into fake caps from that supplier?

Used to buy from them all the time but this changed my mind completely.

Made the mistake of buying their bulk pack once. Never again - my back still hurts from carrying it all inside.
