Actual Thoughts I've Had, Verbatim...

[user328]

Two sellers made me an offer on some resistors and diodes. I assumed they meant the ones that were already in my cart. But no, it added the items at the offered price to the ones at regular price, then did two separate checkouts, which means I didn't get a combined shipping discount either.

I'm gonna end up with 1,200 resistors instead of 600, but they're the most commonly used components, so that's really not a lot.

I caught a break here.

The seller with the resistors said the item was damaged and had to be sent back to the supplier. Both orders cancelled and refunded.

Meanwhile, I found another seller where I could get three of the same item - 1,800 resistors in total, for less than what the original 1,200 would've cost.
