Would anyone be interested in a breakout board for a crystal and pair of capacitors? I'm thinking of something like this: Image. A couple of places seem to offer them, but nobody has them in stock. I'd like to see Sparkfun offering these.

I would think anyone working with breadboarded Arduinos have crystals and supporting caps already. And, all boards with the ATmega chip already have a crystal and caps..

But, I could see some beginners buying these. Especially if they are cheaper than buying a crystal and caps separately.

If I were Sparkfun, I may stock these but not very many just to see how sales go..

If you're breadboarding, why not just buy through-hole crystals and capacitors? I can't see how SF would make money on these unless they were ridiculously high priced, in which case no one would buy them.
