Screw you and your political correctness, homo.
Yeeesh, this has to be the most blatant advertisement i've ever seen posted as a comment.
Blue LEDs vary anywhere from 23 cents to $2.45 depending upon brightness, lifetime, wavelength, and so on. Quoting a price without any of those specifications is worthless.
Digikey and any of a number of other electronics suppliers will always beat the guy-who-thought-he-could-live-off-selling-LEDs places, especially if you order more than 10 units, because you get a nice quantity discount. They don't nail you on shipping, either.
For the same reasons, bragging about how fast you(oops! Them, I mean, sorry!) ship things without specifying methods is pretty silly too. Oh, and Digikey stocked, when I looked...7 sizes and 10 voltages of radials in various combinations. At least that many SMD types, and still more panel-mount types...
Please help metamoderate.
I'll finish that thought for you. The guy is clearly batting for the wrong team, a left handed golfer, a fudge packer, a Banana Republic shopper, waiting for a visitor to enter through the back door. I think this should be modded Funny.
