I was checking prices on JLCPCB for a MCP23017 circuit, and I noticed something when I entered their part numbers.

Did you know you can buy parts from other customers when JLCPCB doesn't have enough stock?

I have to do some tests tomorrow (2:30 am here). I'm going to try using all parts at 0 inventory, and see if I get deals.

But this might be an easy way for us peasants to get even better priced components.
