>If you buy a quantity of 100!  I think PIC's tend to cost more in Europe...

>>SIXTEEN?????

>>isn't it like $6 on the microchip site?

>>> Try www.conrad.de.  They have the PIC18F452-I/P  for 16,40 EURO.

Don't forget that although things cost more, there is a hefty tax on top of
the price, which brings it up to these sort of levels.

Germany has 16% Mwst (VAT)
UK has 17.5% VAT
NL has 19% VAT


USA has how much sales tax?? IIRC something of the order of 1/3 of these.
Look at what the tax is in NL that Wouter has to add (to ship to anywhere
inside the EU), but his prices still look reasonable.
