Let’s just say that its not eBay that is cheap but RS is fucking expensive in low quantities. I bought 10x AD8307 from aliexpress for £3. Or £10 each on RS. If you want to see how stupid RS pricing is check out SOIC breakout boards. |

it might not be tested or something. look at how many specs those dds have to meet. |

ADI online store sells them at sometimes half the price than Mouser/DK for some DSPs I use. --- End quote --- Yup! Noticed it with Coilcraft and Microchip direct too, I can confirm! Mouser and Digikey are really for prototyping if you can afford to produce very large volumes, they got staff and bills too to pay plus profits. |

You have to add cost of shipping and importation, often you end up on par with Digikey and other distributors, unless you buy in suficient quantities to offset those costs. Purely looking at the sticker price on the web is delusional when stuff needs to cross the border. |
| Bud:
It is $5.99 by which carrier? |
