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.
