Thats what I thought. Of coures the $5 shipping is outragous! Thats nothing a $0.37 stamp and $0.10 envelope can't handle.
Not to mention you could probably get the resistor for <$0.25 (thats being generous...I know a local place that sells 1% Dales/Vishays for $0.12), so he makes a profit off the $0.99, and pure profit off the $5.
