One of the sellers at the First Saturday sale (http://www.sidewalksale.com) brought a bunch of components to the sale yesterday and I picked up a few things for a song!
Double wipe sockets: 1/2 case of 8pin , 2 cases of 24 pin, 1 case of 20 pin, and 2/3 case of thru-hole PLCC sockets for $150
Solder: $10 a 1lb roll for Multicore brand 63/37 in .028 and .032 (he also had the larger size but I didn't get any of that)
Picked up 5 rolls of solder for 3 local forum members and they threw in one extra roll for me spending $200 with them.
With solder running between $25 and $35 a 1lb roll, it's nice to find some at a great price! I think I have enough to last me at least 10 years so let the price climb!
I've purchased now about 10 cases of sockets from this guy... along with a case or 2 of anti-static bags, a case of solder, and a slew of odds and ends.
