Currently I am selling them at £3 each. But I've had a stock of them for a while anyway. But seeing as RS have them at £5 and farnell £8+ I suspect the supply is drying up. I am still hunting for branded sockets but I fear I'll not be able to keep the £3 price once stock dries up. Socket header strips are a alternative at least.

Mostly in terms of the remake boards and a lot of upgrades still WIP, I am wondering about just normal square pins and sockets and thinking of just moving away from the 68k sockets all together..

@exxos But if you stop selling those sockets, what is@PhilC going to do?

They seem to be his favourite item from your store... :lol: :poke: :hide:

Will have to pay inflated prices :lol: :roll: I have my minions looking for a supply. But even so, I doubt surplus stocks will last long. I'm not paying like £10 a pop x100 times over for example. Its cash I'm stood out of, and what profit margins would be.. Just not viable for me to sell them.

I'd better order some on payday then!!! Only a week to go.

I'm sure that post title rings a bell @exxos ;)

@JezC im stocking up tonight then :lol:

Oh, the hordeing has started!

Is the 64 way socket the new toilet roll?

:lol:

OOOOOH! Scratchy! :shock:

At first I thought "68k socket" was referring to "PLCC68" sockets, and was a bit puzzled... :oops:
