Hi Harry,
Conrad is a German company in fact, but it has branches in many countries. I searched the e-shop conrad.cz and found a lot of electrolytic capacitors priced in the range USD 1000 - 2500 per piece. All of them were marked as "out of stock". I also found Jianghai ECS2GBW101MT6P22230 elektrolytic capacitor Snap In 10 mm 100 µF 400 V 20 %, which is in stock and costs reasonable 71 CZK = 3,20 USD. I suppose it is an error in their e-shop script, which places fantastic prices to unavailable items, an AFD joke. (AFD = April Fools Day) or the price includes the expenses of retrieving the item somewhere in the world and delivering it by air.

Hi was looking for some ordinary "snap-in" PCB mounted electrolytic capacitors rated at 450V DC. I found that a Swedish company, Conrad, have a selection:

150µF 450V 20% - only SEK 64.66 (US$7.40) for 1 piece

1800µF 450V 20% - A real bargain at SEK 41 481.09 (US$4748.02) for 112 capacitors.

I was placing an order online for 10 pieces and wondered why it came to almost half a million kronor 

It is not the most expensive capacitor, either.

Screw connections 10 000µF 450V 20% is only SEK 72 817.01 (US$8334.80) for 18 capacitors.

I wonder if they ever sell any of them? I am probably in the wrong profession, unless it is a spollllllllllllllling mistake.
