Something like www.allelectronics.com

Anyone know of any other sites like this one? I need some components for an expiremental project but the components I need are too expensive retail (Target etc..). This site has some of them, but not all.

This site sells core electronics components (resistors, etc..) along with parts taken out of refurbished products (like keylock actuators, card readers etc..).

They're also inexpensive.

Any others?

None of them would have what I'd and it's mostly done though Sears here (but I do get what you're referring to).

radioshack.com

Now that's funny. IMO Radio Shack is the worst excuse for that stuff. Sure, once in a while you might find something you need but it is all over priced and commercialized to disgusting points (kinda like Olive Garden to Italians and Red Lobster to New Englanders). Plus, their selection isn't that great when you get to the nit-picky. The last thing I bought from them was a breadboard because I was desperate for one and I needed it ASAP.

When I lived in NJ there was a good shop like this in Cherry Hill but it was a haul from where I lived then (and now!). New Hampshire had a good one in Manchester, too.

Too bad I still don't have my connection when I did my internship. The guy would get this stuff to me for wholesale prices (a wheel of about 5,000 resistors for $2.50 etc..).:undecided:
