I'm just getting started, hoping to build some things with
microcontrollers. It would be nice to have a good assortment
of basic components on hand, so I don't have to go online and
spend $10 on shipping and wait a week every time I need a resistor.
How do most people acquire a good basic stock of resistors, capacitors,
etc.?
There's a fellow in town who has a set of components organized in about
8 of those storage boxes with arrays of drawers. There are something
like 25 or 50 each of a couple dozen resistor types, an assortment
of capacitors, and some miscellaneous other stuff, like dip switches,
knobs, IC sockets, etc. The stuff is left over from a business that
built rack mountable electronic devices. The components probably
reflect to some extent the specific boards they made. For instance,
there's a bunch of IC's included, but I assume they'd probably be very
little use to me. He wants $150 for the lot.
Does the $150 sound reasonable? Is there a better way for me to get
a basic stock of components?
