    That would tend to make resistance futile!

    I'm assuming it is also a 1% feather of flirtation?

    EDIT: You forgot this important consideration:

    "Due to the heavy workload and cumbersome packing, do not rule out the difference between the number of 1-2 or repeat the inconvenience to you please understand "

    I added note to have the mailman tootle vigorously when approaching the house!

    Ordered two sets today.

    I hope they include the feathers. Fishing season just opened, and I need to tie some new flies. :)

    All joking aside, many of those China bulk sellers have "alternative" sales that are along those lines. If you visit the seller's main sight you may be enlightened beyond any repair. IOW - you can't un-see some of that. I imagine it was a cut and paste error on the seller's behalf where some of the page debris was not entirely caught.

    @Beau: Sounds like you inadvertently stumbled across the same Borat mankini as I did. ACK! :)

    And they can't get the math correct:
    Features:
    1% 1/4W Metal Film Resistor Assorted Kit 30 Values Total 400pcs 30 pcs Each
    1% tolerance
    Quantity: 20 values x 20pcs=400pcs
    The value list:
    10Ω、22Ω、47Ω、100Ω、150Ω、200Ω、220Ω、270Ω、330Ω、
    470Ω、510Ω、680Ω、1KΩ、2KΩ、2.2KΩ、3.3KΩ、4.7KΩ、
    5.1KΩ、6.8KΩ、10KΩ、20KΩ、47KΩ、51KΩ、68KΩ、100KΩ、
    220KΩ、300KΩ、470KΩ、680KΩ、1M
    Package Includes:
    100% Brand New
    400 x 1/4W (30 values Resistor (about 30 pcs each value)

    Is it 30 values at 30 each = 900 ? NO
    Is it 20 values at 20 each =400 ? YES
    Is it 400 x 1/4 W 30 values at 30 each? NO

    So the answer is.....20 x 20

    So the question for Erco is what search terms did he use to find this listing?

    He'll probably act like he was actually searching for resistors.

    Yup, I just got a refund from the Li-Ion battery seller. Paypal don't lie, his email is service@catsuits-latex.com.

    Cool beans!

    Erco, please remember this is a child-friendly forum.

    I don't have to explain to a child what a 'natural rubber suit' is for, and well... I hope nobody else have to, either...

    I can't imagine any of our five cats being at all comfortable in a latex suit, not to mention the pain of trying to get them dressed in the first place!

    I don't get it (again)!

    Are these resistors or don't-resistors?
