But I just can't turn down the value I receive buying those surprise boxes from http://www.goldmine-elec.com as well as a few other things including a 10,000 mcd UV LED. I also got an SMD cap chip assortment G3118 (merely just have some extras around for prototyping) and a few other things that are fun to play with such as their G15268 and G14507 items.
They hand out the best "surprise boxes" I've ever seen. Be sure to get one each of the three different size ones as their content varies, some components will be common to all but most are varied quite a bit by the size(s) you choose. Shipping goes up quite a bit if you add the huge one but that's understandable as you get about 5-10 lbs of stuff in them. As I've mentioned in the past 90% of what you get you'll probably never use or, in the case of electrolytics you end up with, you will want to test them before you use them but these aren't floor sweepings. My guess is that, because of what all they include, they're just wanting you to be happy and continue shopping with them.
Hint: If you order one get a huge box to dump all the stuff out in (you'll need it as they're crammed to the brim) which makes it far easier to pick out the usable stuff then pour the rest back into the original box and set it up on a shelf marked with "Goldmine Surprise box". There have been a few times I've had to get the original boxes back down from the shelf because I remembered something I knew was in there and if in a hurry it sure beats ordering or running to "Rip-Off Shack" to deal with those people who have virtually nothing nor anyone that seems to know anything other than the cell phones and Dish Network systems they're trying to keep alive with.
