Many sites give volume discount too so if you know you'll use 20,50, or even 100 of some part in a reasonable length of time, better to do it in one go and have cheap stock.  |
Yeah, but most of the repairs I do don't warrant me needing to buy 100+ of each value of capacitors at once though because first of all I don't get that many customers at once, and secondly I don't $100 laying around to make that kind of an order. So for me I usually just order parts as I need them, because its usually cheaper that way.
