Electronic Goldmine - good source for assorted electronic components

Buying in small quantities, it can cost quite a bit to stock up on all the electronic components you'll need for your projects.  I am constantly finding that I need a potentiometer, a certain diode or relay, or a ton of other items.  I've been shopping around trying to find a good deal on electronic components.  Digikey and Mouser are definitely good places to shop, but you will usually only get good prices when you buy the components in larger lots.

I found a site called Electronic Goldmine and it turns out they sell exactly what I was looking for - assortment packs of components for cheap.  I think these are surplus components from various manufacturers.  I spent $68.77 at the Electronic Goldmine and got a huge box of parts.  If you watch the video below, you can compare the items to what I actually received in the bag to determine if it was a good value or not.  The first item I open is the 'Super Radial Capacitor Assortment' and it is literally hundreds of electrolytic capacitors in all sizes for only $6.50.  Easily a $20 box of caps.  Here's the breakdown on what I bought:
