I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the "real price". Companies like Mouser and Digikey charge a premium to be sure, but they also perform a real service for that premium in the form of taking measures to avoid counterfeit and faulty parts. Discount sources (particularly unknown ones) come with a very high chance of selling garbage parts. How important that is to you depends on your particular needs and situation.

I meant mostly for an industrial scale production. If i make a million devices i will deal with who produce these components, not with a reseller. What i would like to know is what margins manufacturers have at this step and what price they proposte versus the one we find on these sites

  I'm still confused about what you're asking here. Buying anything in large quantities gives you a price break, whether directly from the manufacturer or through resellers. You get much better prices directly from the manufacturer because there's no middleman, but you also have much larger minimum order requirements. Resellers primarily exist to serve those who aren't buying parts in extremely large quantities. They are two different kinds of markets with different needs. I suspect the only way to answer your question is to actually get quotes from manufacturers for the parts you're interested in and do price comparisons, but I think I don't understand the question so I can't really be of much help here. Sorry.

    ----- I suspect the only way to answer your question is to actually get quotes from manufacturers ----- Yes, basically this but I would like to do some "napkin math" using a complete database such a Mouser Basically a "if it is on mouser speaking with the producers and buying a relevant quantity I will get at least a 30% discount"
