Don't forget Melanie that they are end resellers and not 1st or 2nd distributors like Avnet, EBV or Arrow...

Agreed, but I'm comparing the 1000-off column price, against our buy for 1000 of the same product... no hobbyist will ever buy in those quantities, so one would expect those prices to be reasonably convergent whoever you buy the bits from.

Hmm, on the 1K pcs, they are too pricey, indeed.

I faced the same problem with others too, either local or European based "distributors".

Fortunatelly these days we have a powerful tool called internet to do a little search before buy anything.
