My garage is full of stuff saved for the next project. At some point one
runs out of space. Or recollection that one bought 48 extra capacitors
years ago.
20 miles away at $3.50/gallon and 23 city mpg gets one roughly close to $8.
A RadioShack selling capacitors on every corner made more sense when
electronics devices were made from more components that could be
replaced individually using inexpensive equipment. It is more of a
specialty product now.

And what would
I do with 50 when I need 2?
Save them for the next project? I paid $8 shipping. I?d pay close to that in gas
to drive to the local
Fry?s.
Your local Fry's must be far or you got a serious gas guzzler there... My point is
that when there was a RadioShack on every corner you could get a part easy and with
minimum fuss (and only $0.30 in gas).
