    I don't think so... it is easy enough to find out... just go through the order process... you will know if there is just before you authorize your card...

    If you just need a few electronic parts, then try this place glitchbuster.com/ because there's no minimum and $1.95 shipping. They sell IR emitters and detectors.

    The Parallax "Components Shop" web page states:

    " Note: There is a $10 minimum on orders from the Component Shop."

    What is not clear (to me) is whether that $10 minimum is in force if you are also purchasing items from other Parallax "shops", when the partial bill of the Component Shop is less than $10, but the total bill amounts to more than $10. The way the statement above reads, I'd interpret it to say that the $10 minimum must be made in "component shop" purchases specifically.

    Call Toll-free sales 888-512-1024, to find out more about this.

    The marketing folks probably really mean to say a "$10 minimum on-line order". Don't worry about it - you can buy a single resistor.
