Hobby stores -- either offline or online. I like to do research online, hit a couple of sites and do some reading before I go to the store. Still can't beat the experience of being in the hobby store, wandering around the aisles looking at all the different products available. eBay is okay but you have to be smart about it. Don't buy solely on picture or description. Know what it is you're looking at and if the description fits, the picture is what it should be and if the price is fair. Dig around and check the seller's feedback. Buy from someone who has been on eBay for awhile and has a good feedback rating. In some regards it's not much different than buying at a swap meet. Although at a swap meet you'll have a chance to pick it up and look at it, unless you test it on live track and inspect the inner workings an engine it could be a piece of junk too.
