As far as I know Crownhill have a minimum order of MOQ. I ordered PICs from
their web site.. it let me place the order... then I get a call a little to
say there is a MOQ and the w/site should not have let me. Beware....

Subject: [PIC]: How much are you paying for your PIC microcontrollers ? NOT
AN AD !!!!!!


Hi again everyone - I'm just trying to get some idea as to how much we are
overpaying for Microcontrollers here in the UK. I've taken prices from
Maplin (home hobby stuff in the UK) www.maplin.co.uk ,Farnell (slightly more
industrial supplier) www.farnell.co.uk ,and Crownhill (very PIC orientated)
www.crownhill.co.uk . Here's what is being charged for single chip purchases
in UK pounds

Maplin            2.99 ukp
Farnell            4.30 ukp
Crownhill        2.82 ukp

16F871 20/IP

Maplin            3.99 ukp
Farnell            5.11 ukp
Crownhill        3.15 ukp

16F872 20/IP

Maplin            2.99
Farnell            4.30
Crownhill        2.35

16F873 20/IP

Maplin            6.99 (04/P)
Farnell            7.79
Crownhill        4.00

16F874 04/P

Maplin            7.49

Farnell            7.12
Crownhill        4.23

16F877 20/P
Maplin            5.99 (04P)
Farnell            8.33 (7.79 for 04P)
Crownhill        5.88 (4.64 for 04P)

I see some big differences in prices here - anyone care to comment on their
prices in their currency ????????????

Thanks
