What sites do you use to buy components. I found one today but not sure if I can trust them its onlinecomponents.com. Anyone ever use that site before? Can they be trusted with my credit card? I would normally use Newark but the price differnce on what I am looking for is huge!
 
We rarely buy outside of our local vendors, but I have bought things from PLCCenter.com. Good service, good prices, no problems.
 
Depends on what you are buying. I worked in manufacturing and we several times had issues with "gray market" parts. Typically these were rejects from major component mfgs that were supposed to be either derated or destroyed. I spent many hours on the road to customers correcting these problems at a very high cost. Bottom line is, you get what you pay for.
