I plan to be there for the first annual RS Components vs Mouser price comparisonthon - all welcome to join in.

I could log into an RS account which would beat any price you’ll find anywhere else… Did I win?

@Rory_Ryan I can’t come tonight due to health, not sure is the other techs are coming?

I won’t be down tonight or the next ten Thursdays, unfortunately as I have lectures on Thursday evenings. I also got my timetable for the next academic term and I won’t be able to attend for eleven consecutive Thursdays then, either, due to more lectures.

I’ll need to ask some security questions first.

Can you price a single (as in one unit) 10k resistor 0805 packaging on both sites?

Not much movement on that price, but when they are 1.5 pence it’s not going to get much cheaper and matter in small quantities…

_Just so you know while I have access I can only order from this account for work, but I do get end column pricing at Rapid Electronics._

If you can’t split the packet you lose. Sorry. 😛

Don’t worry, there will be another price comparisonthon in 2017. Until then, thank you and good night!

[uk.farnell.com](http://uk.farnell.com) - 0.0018 for 10+ (you can’t buy one for obvious reason :))

That was the 2016 RS Components vs Mouser price comparisonthon so yours would not have been a valid entry. Feel free to organise your own with the suppliers of your choice!

No prob. I was just surprised how expensive those resistors are (only 10 times 🙂 than from farnell)

Now that you mention, it might be an idea to get Farnell, Rapid, RS and Mouser in for the next price comparisonthon.
