  Hi,

  I will have some in a few weeks, 1000 or more pcs. I cant worry about that guy on ebay anymore:)

  Thanks,

>Joe,

    From our experience, I believe, on average, this part brings in twice our
    starting price through individual auctions, as cornerstone parts in
    assortments and by drawing business to other related items. They are very
    popular though scarce and the incentive to make a short term wholesale
    profit at the expense of long term retail sales just isn't there.

    You may know of Midwest-Analog. I watched them for several years, and even
    referenced their book dedicated to applications of the 566 in our listings.
    They used to sell their 566's for $6 each but when they ran out a couple of
    years ago, they never got anymore. That undoubtedly killed sales of their
    book and all their products using the part. I figure if they could have
    bought them at $6 for resale at cost, they would have done it just to
    sustain sales of their 566 based products.

    Once they're gone, they're gone.

    Ron
