Good outfit, local to me. They do have a rather large ($75) minimum order, though.

There are a couple good sources left in Silicon Valley. One is Halted Specialties, known mostly as "HSC" or just Halted. www.halted.com They've got a good website and reasonable shipping.

Excess Solutions is also a good place. www.excesssolutions.com Before I left Silicon Valley, gasp, 10 years ago in June, they had the best prices. The guy even GAVE AWAY discrete resistors, just for dropping into the store.

There's also a good parts outfit, Anchor Electronics, but their minimum mail order is $20 and they stick you with handling as well. Good prices, though, so if you order enough, it makes it worthwhile.

There used to be some great ones, but they're gone. Haltek and RA Electronics. So cheap, some sold by the pound. I still remember buying tantalum caps for $1.50 a pound. I had to dig for them, though, and throw the 2N3055s aside.
