Same here.i can make a trip to the nearest city and buy general purpose ICs wich are SUPPOSEDLY genuine but a TL082 costs me 1€
If I drive to town to buy 1, it will cost me about $0.50, $3 in gas, and more than an hour of my time.
If I buy 10 online, it will cost me $1 each.
If I buy 100 online, it will cost me $0.45 each.
