Sometimes you can't source stuff from A/X, especially for more special purpose parts. I've never been able to find for example the MCP9808 on A/X for cheaper than the Adafruit price, though you still have to pay shipping (but you get it sooner in compensation). I also think the Trinket Pro is a reasonably priced Pro Mini clone, especially because a lot of the super cheap clones have awful voltage regulators on them. That doesn't matter in a lot of cases, but sometimes I need it. I agree that a lot of stuff is pretty overpriced, but they are selling premium quality on a lot of their stuff, plus reliable supply chain and lots of support.
