I've no idea. I've never really been in the business of selling parts
and am not really interested in starting, this late in life.
Igive them away, as a rule. But locally, to students and schools. (I
still have almost 26000 TO-92 PN3904's, for example, bought at _well_
less than a penny each. I stock up on common parts when I can find a
good deal on them and give to schools that seem willing to take a shot
at using them.)
I gambled on these because they seemed so cheap, I was curious because
Spehro wondered if it may be a mistake, I don't fret a few ten spots
here and there just on a lark like this, and because the part
schematic seems more broadly useful for stuff I play with than I'd
first imagined. I actually may use some. By the way, this now puts
me in the market for a book called "2501 wild and crazy uses for the
MC1496!"
If you are serious, I'll ask the post office about "issues." But I
suspect that since these are in easily cut strips and don't weigh that
much, I might be able to send them pretty cheaply. An envelope might
work. Just today, I watched as a postal worker used a 3x5 card to
"wrap up" a stamp I was sending to someone, folding over edges in ways
that would make you cringe and then just stuffing it into the standard
stamped envelope I had handy. If that works through their ZMT
machines, I have to guess something simple like strips of tiny parts
stuck between two 3x5 cards in an envelop should work at 44 cents.
Worst that can happen is the postman stomps on them, I suppose. It'd
probably cost me more to worry about getting paid. So I'm open to
suggestions. My email is open and works. Perhaps you have something
interesting to offer in exchange? Spare resistors, even?
