I hate parts!

Post by vibratoking »

Shopping for parts is such a drag. I would take on more builds if the parts fairy would look kindly on me. Scrounging, tedious ordering, organizing, storing... I hate it. I wish the part I needed appeared in my hand at the appropriate moment.

Yep. I'm a sucker, because I always try to get the best price on parts for the people I build for (the time I spend on that they get for free...). I probably spend more time shopping than I do on building the friggin' things...

And then there's figuring out how many and what else to order so the shipping doesn't eat up that savings...

All true. That's why I'm setting up a repair station at the multidimensional crossroads of AES, Newark, Mouser, and McMaster. I'll pull my own parts as needed, and it can go on my tab.

Oh Christ.....I'm a sick puppy.
I will, sometimes, peruse McMaster-Carr even when I do not need to order anything.....just for the pleasure of looking at all their "stuff". :oops:
