Alternative to Radio Shack

[DigitalBard]

The two local radio shacks in my town have very little in the way of electronic parts. It's all about consumer crap now.

Can anyone point me to an online alternative for ordering parts fairly cheaply?

It really depends on what kind of parts you're looking for.

That said, you can find a lot on eBay, and you might be able to track some suppliers from eBay to their own web stores.

Back when I worked In an engineering lab we used Newark, Digikey, Mouser and slew of others. Newark had a huge catalog www.newark.com you can also find many surplus vendors on line. It just depends on what you are looking for.
