A log log plot of resistance vs price might be interesting. for different tolerances.

Yeah, since resistors go from milliohms to teraohms, a linear plot would be tricky.
On a PC board, with 0805 parts, I can make time constants from 1e-15 to 1e8 seconds. That's an impressive range.

A lumped element circuit at 1 fs would be a good trick--that's 300 nm of coax!

10^8 seconds is ~3 years, that will be a good trick too!

A canny engineer should then discontinue high-value resistor purchases, and substitute low-value conductors. Let them try to charge by the siemens...
Conductors can substitute for resistors in many circuits; soon, we'll see online mini-courses in how to do the redesign. iPhone users--there's an app for that!
