Any little electronic parts that I should have a lot of?

http://www.onlinecomponents.com/ I'm buying from here and the minimum purchase is $15. The thing I want is $0.03.... anything like LED's that I should have on hand?

LEDs, switches, capacitors, resistors, if they sell perf board, get some of that too.

A few spools of wire if they have that as well.

Things that are good to have:

A few transistors (mostly NPN will do for most small beginning circuits)
LEDs
A variety pack of resistors
Maybe a pot or two
Switches
Caps. Of various values in both ceramic and electrolitic.
Definitely perf board

Optional things you may need in the future may include:
555 timers
voltage regulators
amplifier ICs
other various integrated circuits


Thinking of this, I may as well use some of my birthday money towards getting a proper inventory of components.

Yeah, SS linked to this website, MUCH cheaper than mouser, but requires a $15 minimum order. Although anywhere outside the USA is flax, I believe it's $100 minimum order then.

Be retarded like me and just get a *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ton of one thing! I love looking at like, 90 tiny buttons I will probably never use.

But I could if I wanted to.

I like Hermy's idears, do that.

I could get 100 4 way tacts for $3.... They don't have enough in stock to make $15 Also, SS how are those tacts, I was thinking of getting some, but I don't know what they're like.

They are amazingly thin, I'm going to put some rubber over them anyways, but so far I am impressed.

Are they clicky?
