MOTM

I did check www.mouser.com  It looks like some resistors are still 
available in singles and at my favorite price of 200 for $4.  But other 
values are listed at 1000 pc minimum.  Could it be a mistake in the 
catalog or website?  Why would some values have only a 1000 minimum?

As for Digikey, a quick search turns up part number P100KCACT-ND RES 
METAL FILM 100K OHM 1/4W 1%.  Price: 200 for $13.05.  I'd rather stick 
with Mouser, where I could get 1000  for $12.00.  But I hope I can still 
order 200, even if they do cost 0.02 each.
