not quite for low volume, low cost but:

I use Garrett Electronics http://www.garrettelec.com/ for higher
volume stuff (like reels) and the occasional component that isn't
available through DigiKey or Mouser. They carry mainly passives, 
plus some transistors.

example prices: Phycomp 10K 200ppm 5% 0805 resistor:
QTY   USD
25    0.07
100   0.022
5K    0.0041 (reel) 

I usually buy 100 anyway, since prices drop significantly. 

What I really like is their SMT design kits. comes in notebook binders
so it takes up very little space and is neatly organized to boot. Of
course, you pay for that convenience...
