WTB - 50k / 20k ohm SMD potenciometers

Hai folks ,

As I have started working on my new scanner thing, I am trying to cut monetary corners wherever possible, one of them is a correction amp board.
I will build my own from stratch instead of buying $80 kit ,
I have already ordered the operational amplifier ICs and almost finished the Eagle schematic.

So I need either 15 pieces of 50k ohm pots, or 8 pieces of 50k and 8 of 20k ohm potenciometers.

I have searched ebay, but SMD is rarity and correct values even rare, let alone the prices when I finally found one.

If anybody has some surplus of those, let me know.

Will do with any size, however it must be top-adjust, not side, and it MUST be an SMD. Does not matter multi/single turn.

PM or reply here with offers, I pay only via paypal.

I do have 47Kohm miniature SMD potentiometers (a bunch of them), but i think they are WAAAAY too small (2.5x2.5mm) and hard to adjust.

Btw they're not hard to find at all. Just search at digikey, they are extremely cheap (well, shipping costs might screw things up considering you're in croatia...)

Well, cheapest shipping from Digikey is $30 which , paired with ~$270 budget for my scanner , is quite too much, so I'm asking if anybody has any surplus.

Your 47 k ohm sounds good, I'm very handy with soldering iron so , smaller the better, more space saved on PCB.

What would you ask for 15 of them shipped? Also, if you perhaps know the designation of their size, it would be awsome so I can finish the Eagle board.
