 What amused me is a new product announcement for an obsolete part.
 Digikey does that a lot. Search for a part and click "in stock", and
you get pages of obsolete parts with zero stock. With absurd prices.
 

I rarely use Newark, but I needed a replacement rotary switch wafer for an HP boatanchor:

The normal price was $52(!) but they only had one of the one I needed left, and so had reduced it to a "promotional price" of...$1.10. Sold!
