No more Jaycar for me.

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!

Digikey, Mouser, sometimes even eBay, rare occassions Jameco...

Anyone know a good source for (5x7) matrix LED modules ? I'd like to purchase a quantity of them very, verrrrry cheaply.

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

No doubt about it - Futurlec have some good prices. I can see they have some good buying power, the price greatly reflects this. Maybe I'm dreaming, but I'd like to score a few k of those LED modules at around AUS 50¢ ea.

Luciano - thanks a bunch for that link. I have made an inquiry with them on quantities 1, 2 & 5K. Extremely curious to see the price.
