Where do you buy hobby items?

I check my only "local" hobby shop, 100+ miles away, about every-other month to see what they have in stock. If they don't have what I'm looking for, then I resort to mail order.

I did't see that one. I need to change mine to combination also. Alot of my stuff comes from mail order or swap meets, but general supplies comes from train store. Sorry I goofed up the results.

Hi Rene,
Being the bargain hunter I am, it all depends on who has the best deals. It's fun to sift through Closeouts / Clearance tables to see what I can find. For that reason I voted "A combination of the above". There's always the instance where the item I need only a hobby shop can supply...then that's where I go. For the most part it's seek and find. Gotta' stretch those hobby dollars! Later eh...Brian.

Think I ran this question a couple of years ago, but perhaps (especially online) things have changed.
