I didn't think *anyone* bought parts from Radio Shack - overpriced, low stock, and outdated technology. If its something like a W04, you can get them in the 20 off qty for well under a dollar - 50-60c ea If you're in a real hurry, use Radio Spares or Farnell Components, they *are* pricey, but what a range and stock level!
