Quite true, but their price breaks come at 25 or 50 quantity. I needed 7 10Meg 1 watt metal film resistors, so buying 10 for less than they cost at Mouser was a plus. ( 6 bucks vs 13) Same with Electrolytics - I can sometimes buy 10 or more for the cost of 5 or 6 at Mouser. I use Mouser sparingly, as Allied and Digi-Key often have stuff for less. I just wish everyone had a parametric, drill-down search like Mouser has. Now that they've added Panasonic caps, I get my film caps from Mouser or Digi-Key, which has distributed Panasonic since 1977. Quality mylar/polypropylene/polyester caps, shipped from the USA, for pennies each? I'm happy.
