I have to say that this surprised me as well! I recently bought 10 x MN3207 for £6.81p (for delay/chorus/echo units) and 50 x BF244B for £13.13p (for a 3-notch Phaser). I did some digging around Amazon, and I found some real bargains, such as 50 x LM13700 for £30.39p, which is less than 61p each. Farnell and Digikey sell them for about £2 each! Amazon also sell PT2399.
I don't know what electronic components appear on Amazon outside the U.K. nor their cost, but it could be worthwhile having a look. IF you do buy components from them, the delivery time may be on the long side as they probably come from China. That's where my MN3207s and BF244Bs came from. They said that they would be delivered in the middle of August, BUT they turned up within 10 days, which I think is acceptable. Try your luck!
