Thanks for the quick reply cl. Sounds like a good approach.

The entire component list is of course on computer. Loosely, it is
composed of caps and resistors, various data IC's, and connectors.

Unfortunately the list is unsorted in terms of category or use...so it
will take a bit of time to reorganize it into a fashion that might be
more attractive to buyers.

Just by way of example, here are a few items from the list:

442pcs. tantalum caps 330uf 10v SMT asking $650.00 lot (cost $3.00)

14 pcs. Analog Devices ADV611JST Wavelet compression chip $420.00 lot
(cost $60.00 each)

22pcs. Atmel FPGA (SMT) ATK40K10-2BQC asking $550.00 lot (cost $50.00 each)

56pcs. CAT28C256P-20 DIP Eproms asking $280.00 lot (cost $10.00 each)

842pcs. IRC part number LR2010-01-R075-F .075 ohm low inductance SMT
resistors $400.00 lot (cost $1.00 each)

4000 pcs. Philips MRS25F-3.32K 1/4 watt resistors $

135pcs Philips PCA8515T/005 OSD IC (SMD Package) $1300.00 lot (cost
$20.00 each)

83pcs. 6X2 header, Tyco part 103167-3 $250.00 lot (cost $6.00 each)

2488pcs. 0.01uf SMT capacitor 12062R103K9BB2 $140.00 (cost 11 cents each.)

158pcs. Weco connector 121-A-111/11 $300.00 lot (cost $3.80 each)

Basically looking for half price.

I'll get to work assembling a complete list in a categorized form and
post again.

Meantime, if anyone is interested in the above...please email.

VISA, Master Card, Amex, and even CASH accepted!

Feel free to email...remve NOSPAM
