I wanted to start a thread on the cheapest aruino parts websites, I will start with a few. Please Put up the average price for popular parts so people have a idea

  1. [ Awesome website they have a ton of stuff for dirt cheap prices, The cost for a proto sheild is about $6.50 US and the price for a ethernet sheild is about $37 US.

  2. [ Duhhh who does not know this one? The average cost for a proto shield is about $15 US Its a little nicer then others though. The average cost for a Ethernet shield is $45 US

"Cheapest" may depend on where one lives. You need to include ebay.

First, arduino? please change that URL to http://yourduino.com because the arduino-direct link is going away soon as it is improper use of the name.
Also don't forget http://arduino-info.wikispaces.com which has a lot of How-To stuff.

Here are two China sources I personally know are for real because I use them as second-source for my shop:

Most of the good low-cost guys I know have Chinese-only Taobao shops and we do OK with my translating Google-translated Chinglish and my partner and friend Jun Peng personally on the street walking into their shops in Shenzhen.

I've had a parts-junky addiction since I was 12 years old going to Radio Row on Vesey St and Pitkin St in New York with my Dad in 1952. I still have some of that stuff!! ARC5 transmitter?? BC-348 receiver? 829B? Yup....

So now I can indulge myself in my older age and I have 20 new sensors I have to test and write Arduino examples for right here across the street from the beach in Italy. Nerd Heaven!

Terry;

Wow those certainly were cool days. We had a similar radio row on Market Street in San Francisco. As a 12 year old I would hop a $1.25 20 mile Greyhound bus ride to the 'big city' and then drag home some 20-30 pound military surplus radio that cost me maybe $10 bucks. It would keep me in parts for months and months, and the quality of the parts (machined knobs, pots, resistors, caps, connectors, etc) was second to none. ARC5 receivers could be had in brand new sealed package for $5, and I converted a couple in my day. You should see what a ARC5 in NOS condition can fetch on E-bay these days, unbelievable.

Thanks for the memory.
