hello guys, am a newbie and am just starting circuit building 1o1 but however its hard finding cheap components be it used, so i would appreciate it if anyone could refer me to a good source or sources of a wide variety of components (from resistors , transistors to ICs and others) and be they used too, i don't mind.
Thanks ,

If we knew your location we might be able to help, otherwise find some old stuff, rip it apart and de-solder all the components, this is a good way to get components for FREE.
Thanks Ziggy for the reply, am in New York. I already have a few components ripped off from old circuit boards but it's hard finding my precise wanted components and values especially Ics and transistors or LEDs.I would greatly appreciate any help.

ebay is good, but be careful when buying capacitors as they often say 10mF meaning ten milli Farad when they mean 10 micro Farad 10uF, always read the markings on the pictures.
