beware the chinese offering deals!

I needed some through hole R's of various values of 2 watt metal films and decided to order a R kit..

Found several online and thus decided to get a kit that started from

22ohms to 1 Meg...

Well, it's wise to find a place that actually shows the values they are offering.. These are 1% 2 watt units and what I was relly interested in was a few values in the range of 100 through 2k, etc...

Received them today and the counts are there however, there is a whole range of values missing and loads of values that I most likely will never have a need for...

22, 51 for the low values, 1 Meg for the highest and the remaider are all 65k-900k mixed.

So, I only paid I think 15 bucks for this so it isn't a loss actually but I think I'll next time find a seller that specifies the actual values between..!!

Its off to mouser now to get the range of values I need..!

Even Susumu's set of their very nice 0.5% 25 ppm 0603s is full of weird values, though at least they're reasonably evenly spaced.
