How is Chipageddon affecting you?
Infraviolet:
"Resistors and capacitors are doing just fine. 0805 are back to 0.001 GBP."
... But now you can only buy in packs ten times, or more, larger than you used to be able to.
peter-h:
I buy in reel multiples, 5k for resistors, 3k or 4k for caps. No issues there.
Single sourced parts are holding up their artificial price hikes for the longest time - as always.

The method used is that a franchised disti selling at an unauthorised price gets the franchise pulled. I have this directly from people in the business. It is the oldest trick in the book.
Price maintenance is everywhere :)
