Looks like you have an 'opertunity' here.  Develop a 'shopping' site that
can access the
available inventory of each of the vendors, and give a 'least overall cost'
shopping list
with spreadsheets or forms that could be faxed or emailed to each vendor.

Pay for it with a 'fee' ($1/set of orders, or .5% of amount ordered) or
better, by ads on the web site.
Keep adding more 'obscure' vendors.  I'd start with digikey, jameco, then
down the shopping list
of others. ... Also, allow users to block vendors they have a prejudice
against for any reason (bad
shopping experience, customer service, etc ... or for no reason at all).

I only want 2% of your revenues for the idea ;) ... Enjoy
