Hi Fons, that is a smart question and the answer depends on how far away from your home the next Conrad store is. If you have good luck there's a small repair shop that in addition sells electronic components for a fair price. Unfortunately there aren't that many shops anymore, most were closed within the 90s. I order from Reichelt [1]. If just a single exotic resistor for e.g. a switching power supply is needed and I wouldn't know a friend who usually is able to help me, I would consider to pay for a public transport tickets from Oberhausen to Essen, were Conrad is (or was?) and back to my hometown and pay too much money for this single exotic resistor. OTOH it just takes 24 hours to get it ordered from Reichelt and the minimum order value does cost less than the public transport tickets do cost. Buying from Conrad instead of ordering from Reichelt seldom makes sense, assumed Conrad isn't next door to you and you really just want to buy in very small quantities.
