UK - sale at Rapid today

len_scanlan · 27th March 2008, 05:27 PM

No connection with the company, but I just noticed that Rapid are doing another 'end column price' sale until noon tomorrow (Friday the 28th). Looks like an end-of-financial year clearout to me!

Looks like most items are about 25-40% off qty 1 prices. Toroidal xfmrs aren't discounted much, but the packs of R's and C's are a good 40% off.

Cheers,

Len.

Thanks, I need a load of resistors, so I may just try rapid instead of the usual farnell.

I've used Rapid a good few times and never had a problem with them. The only order that was wrong (M2 instead of M3 bolts supplied) was sorted out as soon as I phoned them.

I just bought a shedload of electronics on this offer.

They are also running the "march of the components" sale where they are getting rid of non rohs components. Between the two I saved a fair bit.

I was going to order from them anyway cause their prices on hammond cases and IRF510's were the best I had seen. My procrastination paid off. I would have been so sick if I had ordered last week as I had intended.
