    Hi guys,

    hope this fits in here.
    I am looking for resistors (bulk) that i could possibly buy in shops rather than ordering online.
    Especially before Christmas.
    would there be any shops that have stuff like that?

    I know about Maplin but only saw a few which were expensive...couldnt spot anything in hardware stores or maybe i overlooked it.
    Any ideas/suggestions? (Cork)

    Thanks!!

    When you say bulk what do you mean? 100? 1K?

    Maplin do some good little kits with lots of different values for very little money. I would have access to any amount of them in work, but the little maplin kit does come in handy when your stuck.

    Thank you very much for the links!!! That looks great so far!

    With bulk i meant more in regards of hundreds, probably wont need more than 500.

    When i last checked Maplins in Blackpool i couldnt find any bulk-ones :O the price looks actually alright!!

    Thanks a lot for that!! i should be sorted hopefully!

    Really?

    Maplin have a 400% mark-up compared to real electronic outlets, they only stock one or two and the chances of them giving you the one you asked for are slim to none.
