[Noisebridge-discuss] Where do people go for retail electronic parts?

[Prajit]

Love to second Al Lasher's, they are pretty helpful/friendly, and I've
found their prices on a lot of components to be rather comparable to
internet-prices (shipping included, and assuming you aren't ordering 3
billion resistors at once or something).

Most of their stuff is behind-the-counter though, so you'll have to
interact with the store staff.
