im getting ready to place an order at mouser, but i dont get how they work out the bulk pricing.  for stuff like resistors and caps, they they have a certain type, say, "carbon film, 1/4W, 5%", with a certain part #, and you fill in the value you want as the last bit of the part number.  but when you buy 200, they're like 3 times cheaper each.  im just wondering if it has to be 200 of the same value?  or is it 200 of all values of the same type.  anyone wanna help a brotha out??

sigh... nevermind, i tested it and found out myself.  crapola.

well, maybe not.  i've decided to go for 200s for the most common resistors, 100s of caps.  hefty order indeed.  im poor as it is.   :x
