I'm considering buying a reel of 4000 LEDs.  Would anyone be interested 
in taking maybe 50 or 100 if they're only 3.6 cents?

A lot of us are paying over 10 cents, sometimes over 15 cents per LED.  
Sure, if you need just a few of a special size or color/brightness, etc, 
that makes sense.  But if you just want something that will blink, under 
4 cents sounds pretty nice!

This is the one I'm thinking about:

It's orange in 603 package.  It's very bright at 20 mA.  I got some a 
month ago and tested them yesterday at 2 mA and I'm happy to say they're 
still very visible at lower current.


Jason, I have these parts on mostly-full reels which were very cheap.  
Some of my resistors are 1%, some are 5%.  I'd be happy to bring them to 
the next meeting, saving you $5.80 on your next order.  Let me know if 
you really need 50 of each resistor.  I have many cut and nicely labeled 
in strips of 25 to 30 (which is the length than fits nicely in parts 
drawers), but if you really need 2 strips, that's fine.
