Anyone heard of this seller? "Capsules_supreme" https://www.ebay.com/itm/Neumann-Microphone-K67-Capsule-Professional-Condenser-u87Ai-u87-Ai-K-67/333705477469?hash=item4db2657d5d:g:K78AAOSwjJpfS66P
Looking through their history it looks like they've sold a number of very nice looking "used" capsules including K47 and K67. Hmmmmm. Do they look like the real thing? Seller is based out of Nashville . . . I could see studios unhappy perhaps and striving some extra %5 for an (earlier?) Neumann capsule for their mic based on some forum rumours, but why would you replace the capsule in a U87 if it wasn't damaged? It's the best part of the mic. hmmmmm
Reminds me of a Simpsons episode in which Troy McClure brags about being the lawyer who got Paul McCartney out of Wings. To which Homer responds. "You idiot. He was the best one." (I tend to agree with Homer . . )
Anyway, just wondering. . .
