I remember lots of regulars that would come in every week or more often to browse the peg boards to resistors, transistors, diodes, caps, switches, transformers and breadboards along with hookup wire and boxes. Many of these guys would drop $50 or more every week or so.
Since Radio Shack is done and Frys went out of business, there's no where that you can go and get simple electronic parts.
