Title: Best Bargains
Post by: Xyver on April 05, 2010, 04:51:14 PM

What are the best bargains you have gotten when you are parts shopping?

I went to The Source today and found a NiMH 9.6 volt 1600 Mah battery pack for 9.96$, regular 40$, and the charger for it for 5$, regular 20$.  Ive also gotten a precision screwdriver place from there for 3$, regular 20$

What have you guys found?

The Source is the canadian version of the american RadioShack, all these little sales depend on each store

At radioshack I have picked up about 20 sets of 6v, 1000mah batteries with chargers for 27 cents each  ;D
