They used to, then they knocked it on the head unless you could prove 
you were serious about buying multi tray/reel quantities.

Assuming the ones stocked by Futurlec (see OT thread) at AU$12.95 are 
genuine (though they mention SPI interface and it is definitely more 
like I2C) then for a one off, that's not too expensive. Cheaper than 
Parallax US$35.00 and Farnell a ridiculous AU$55 - 75 each.
