The staff is very knowledgeable about everything that I've ever asked them regarding Electronics.

Some things may seem a bit high but keep in mind, keeping all this crud in stock costs a business a ton of money, and for one thing the sell, 20 go unsold. if you have a problem with paying 3.99 for two capacitors, do yourself a favor and order it from amazon or idiotbay. They seem to carry higher quality stuff anyways, to minimize returns due to early...
