[sdiy] Tempco group buy news

[Metrophage]

Of course, in stock tends to be cheaper. KRL does try to keep a few
values moving, not only 1k. I do not know for certain whether or not 2k
is one of the values which they do. Who knows? If 1k is more popular,
then we might not even need to wait for 2k! I won't know for certain
until I talk with them again tomorrow. They were out of stock on 1k
last week, but the price is still the same as in-stock because it's a
value which they try to produce regularly. Keep in mind, I am not
contacting a distributor, but KRL-Bantry, who manufacture these
tempcos.
