All the chip vendors sell parts in China in quantity for about 30% to 50%
less than quantity pricing in the US.
When asking distributors in China how this is possible they say "we Chinese
expect this pricing, otherwise we wouldn't use these parts"
This is why it's so hard to compete with products from China...
That's also why new DVD players (with red laser diodes etc etc inside) can
be sold for $29 retail profitably.

Dunno if you have seen this on ebay:

It's an AD9850 with a 125 MHz crystal mounted up on a .1 spacing board
with pins, for about $8 free shipping from the Old Country. I bought 4
of 'em for the in case box (in case I need one). I have some OCXO's in
the 100 MHz neighborhood that will do just fine and the hard work is
done...
BTW, that price is about $4 less than AD's price per chip on a 5k reel.
Dunno how they do it...
Best, Don
