When your cleaning your house and your sweeping up a resistor, you best pick it up and save it, if it was a 5c coin on the ground youd surely pick it up!

Or find someplace cheaper to buy resistors.

hahaha.

.1 of a cent.
just dig up a whole lot of charcoal and dig copper wire in either end, call em barbacubes, or use lead sinkers and call em phishingreductors. =)

That could explain your calculation problems....

$0.01 is not 0.1 of a cent.
Make mistakes like that with electronics calculations and you will never get anything to work as you want it to!

rjenkinsgb It's $0.01 for 10. That equates to 0.1 cent each.

rjenkinsgb may be familiar with RS Components who quote prices per unit, even when the MOQ (minimum order quantity) is say 10.

Ah, that would make sense. That being said, I can still understand the OP's confusion.

There's also wildly varying prices for different values (of the same resistor type) at RS, I order a LOT of resistors from RS

I'm confused by the title, where's the joke?

So far it's been the TS.

Maybe the moderators can check and see if this guy is the infamous - Billymayo, Dannydavis, Prescottdan, Davewalker, Castillovan and Vancastillo back again. The name is certainly similar.

Indeed!

Particularly as that is how that specific site works
