At least, i see surplus crystals (and even canned oscillators) available on the surplus market all the time at well under $1 each, and hardly ever see ceramic resonators at similar prices (even in odd freqs.) ( http://sales.goldmine-elec.com/prodinfo.asp?prodid=3654 $0.02 each for 13.5Mhz crystals. eBay has similar "deals", but not on resonators.)
