    DigiKey all the way

    OK sometime they don't have the best price on the market, but overall, their pricing are really nice. Main advantage for me... i'll have my order the next day... not 3 weeks later, And this a t a reasonable shipping price.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Not only that, but I have had nothing but great experiances with the Cust. Support. Yes, I'll shop around, but if it is just a matter of a dollar or two, I'll go with Digi-Key for speedy and friendly service!

    Kinda sux as an option, but I see a lot on eBay, keep trying and you could possibly get your hands on a bulk auction cheap...

    the problem with e-bay is they sell in lot's of ten and you pay shipping cost's for each lot so if you buy 3 lot's of ten you'll pay the shipping 3 times which makes them not so cheap after all.your best bet is Futurlec where you only pay shipping once and if buying by the hundred is 1.10 us
