<div class="moz-cite-prefix">At our space (Sector67) we have a
locked cabinet with lots of those things in it. Of course, that
means only trusted people can have access to that locked cabinet
to sell things out of. We've considered building a vending machine
for them. Sparkfun has special accounts for distributors, so you
can order them at discount and sell them at the same price
Sparkfun offers them. Pretty handy when your peeps need an arduino
fast and don't want to wait. Not super lucrative, but very
convenient. We also have lots of bins of bare parts and resistors
and random components that have been donated, but we don't charge
unless they're being used in bulk. Basically it's a "don't be a
jerk" payment policy for those things.<br>

<div>We are considering selling some of the more popular kits
and parts to the public out of our hackerspace. I would like
to know if anyone else does this and how successful they have
been. The closest thing to competition would be Radio Shack or
driving 3 hours to the next largest city. <br>
