    Ive been waiting for some sensors ,power plug to solder to my Dell Vostro, and ADC chip etc, all from hong kong or china . nothing over $5.40 including the postage in that.
    I hope the $1.00 ultrasonic distance detector is the same as I see elsewhere , not sure you can go on looks alone?

    Well I just got my mail(its Saturday so I didn't check yesterday. I got excited, the little packet was from Hong Kong.

    It's a 4CH 5V Relay board cost $3.29 could be bargain fun, but aside from 3 computers all I have to switch on/off is minimalistic ;)

    1. toaster
    2.kettle
    3.fridge
    4.reading lamp
    5.oil heater
    6.something I've forgotten

    maybe I can screw it onto my robot one day :blank:

    it took 29 days but they stated it could take two months.

    Whit:

    Admit it, you saved your Parallax "25th Anniversary" silver foil packaging stickers, too, didn't you?

    I did. :)

    Wasn't that a great $25 "Mystery Bag" ? http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/142294-SPOILER-ALERT-Anniversary-Mystery-Bag-Revealed!

    I wanted to show my wife how beautiful the circuit on my breadboard looked. I didn't actually do it but I know only my fellow nerds could appreciate the aesthetic appeal of an electronic circuit!
