Futurelec.com (Low prices but how?)

  I've order from futurlec before and was able to get some componets at  
a very good price but the deal is that it took like almost two months to
get the stuff.

  Today while looking around for Set screw type banana plugs, I find at
their site a few for down in the range of 0.30..80 cents.
Even the stackable types well under a buck..

 The metal types that can hold the large conductor that are gold
looking are even at 80 cents, where is, most other places that
claim them to be gold, which we know most of them aren't are asking
$2.50 or more each, some 8 bucks for a pair..

 I just wonder how they are able to do this pricing?

 Recently I've had several people that know me locally come to  
my home shop and very basic parts they normally would of gotten
at radio shaft, this sounds like a business adventure for this
end of the woods. We have lots of schools around here that teach
this field.

 But getting back to those prices, how many of you actually buy from
these people ?
