50G ohm Retirement Fund

--- Quote from: pguerra75 on March 14, 2017, 07:50:28 pm ---I was recently cleaning up shop in an electronics warehouse and came across an interesting find. A plastic bottle of approx. 26000 loose 50g Ohm 30% resistors (0805) package. I did some research and the cheapest I can find these things is around $2 at volume. So essentially I found $52000 worth of parts that almost no one will want. One can only laugh. :-DD
Just thought this crowd might enjoy that.

How did you figure out the quantity? Weight?

I had a local jewler weigh a sample of 100 and then the lot.
MarkS:
50G Ohm? 50 giga-Ohm?
Bryan:
For what application what would a 50Gohm resistor be used for?
boffin:
You sure they're not caps?
I say that due to the colour, sort of a yellowish which is pretty common with ceramic caps.
