I am starting out and since I could use alot of various different valued parts, I found this little thing on ebay. It's looks like a nice deal. I was just asking if it doesn't look like a jip or anything.

I didn't want to post at first thinking people would bid, but I trust you guys :)
Hi bazzwazzle,
I think most folks use the 1/4 watt resistors for effects use. I would lean more towards something like the 1/4 watt assortment on this page:

They've got some other good deals there, as well. They only charge $3 shipping for orders under $30. Shipping is fairly slow, but the price is right.
If you're in the States, you can also visit your local Rat Shack. I bought one of their 1/4 watt assortments years ago and it's lasted quite a while. I just fill in the sizes as I run out of them.

thanks I'll take a look into that. Ebay has 1/4 deals too but your recommendation has more for about the same price. Thanks! I think I'll grab some caps too :)

AAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Run screaming and crying with your face buried in your hands. Lest you go insane sorting through a humungous pile of tangled resistors to find the value you want.
well i woulda sorted them first if i purchased them :lol:
Hey Bazz:
There are lots of good deals on eBay. That's NOT one of them.
I've been using this seller for resistors. They're usually $.99 + $1.25 shipping per 100 lot, with 25 or 50 cents shipping tacked on for each individual lot. It works out well for me as I only want 100 @ a time.

Hey, if you want to sort resistors, come on over to my place! :D
Seriously, my parts bin spilled when I moved on July 1st and I've just last week had the fortitude to finish sorting them all. Might be a bigger job then you realize :)
ya I had and have my own sorting problems (1345 resistors from india plus 3 carboard boxes (each one big enough a standard computer case in) full of assorted comonents) from my school. Now thats fun sorting....
what other value packs are worth taking from Futurlec? are there some other places to buy packs like this within europe?
