Welcome To E-Catcity.Com, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

Now I know this store I am looking for may not actually exist anymore. Radio Shack used to be good but now they have hardly anything and know even less if you have a question about something. Are there any stores around that still stock a good selection of electronic components?

maybe in the 70’s Radio sHack may have been good…. VERY expensive floor sweepings when it came to their carded parts.

There are several excellent parts houses;

surplus houses

Hey guys,

for a project i need to but stuff like a D-Sub connector hood (printer cable wire), various resisters and switching diodes, etc. Do any of you know of any good online electronic stores that sells this type of stuff? for example, I know radio shack does but they charge way to much.

There are many online electronic retailers to choose from. Here are a few links to sources of small parts I have dealt with. Thery are all reputable companies and service has been good in my experience.

Some sell similar items at widely varying prices, so shop around for the best prices, but usually the cheaper stuff is of lower quality. You usually get what you pay for. Some have recently reduced prices due to slow sales in this recession.

You could try Walmart. I don’t know if they have exactly what you
are looking for, but it wouldn’t hurt to look.

The electronic goods store, The Good Guys, has that theme song, but it’s a parody of a popular rock song from the 70s/80s…
What’s it called..?

The song is called Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys.

Tiger direct or New egg?

I prefer tigerdirect.com but you can find good stuff at newegg too or individual companies depending on what you want to get

I am NOT interested in big ticket or bulky consumer goods like TV, DVD Recorder, high-end HiFi etc, but I’m looking something unsual and uncommon like Two-Way Radio, transmitter, electronic thermometer, battery chargers, LED torches, computer parts, and electronic components etc. Some second hand goods would be nice too.

If you know a district called Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong, you know exactly that I mean!

Thanks in advance!

There are many electronics stores and appliance stores in Taiwan. However, they are generally referred to by their Chinese names.

Hence, if you are in Taiwan, you can look around for the items you want, and you can also ask your local Taiwanese friends where to find various electronic things.

Sometimes, you can even find interesting items in the night markets.

ok i want to know what are some good offers out there at any store relating to electronics and the best things and offers too

www.newegg.com

Everything.

I use ebay to buy many stuff. But i would like now to start selling some electronics and couldn’t find REAL cheep electronics to sell. Because almost all the online wholesale’s stores are scam and not trusted!

Your best bet would be to check out:

http://www.usefulresources.info/wholesale-provider-directory.html

They provide 100s of wholesale providers for every niche.

Best wishes
