Where can I order electronic parts from China?...

[elmagicochrisg]

I know there are Chinese websites that take requests and send them to manufacturers and distributors. I remember successfully using such a service in the past, after which I got bombarded with mails from Chinese suppliers. But for the love of God I can't remember what service I used...

So yeah, fire away. Either good trustworthy cheap suppliers, or a good central hub that takes requests...

Any particular sort of electronic parts you're looking for?

Whatever it is, Ebay probably has it.

16pin flex flat ribbon cables. This is what's written on the original cables:

SUMITOMO-G AWM 2896 80C VW-1 - F -

And yes, eBay has them. But they are too expensive...

I found one listing, for $10. How cheap are you needing them to be?

That's really nice of you, but not what I'm looking for. That's an 8 pins cable.

This is what I need: 16 PIN FLAT RIBBON CABLE FOR SEGA DREAMCAST

So now you know exactly why I need them...

How cheap you say?... Hmm, between zip and 3 bucks a piece would be nice...

Really want one of those central hubs that takes requests, so I can choose from all the offers myself.

Surely some of you have already bought parts that way. Right?...

EDIT Just made a request through alibaba. It was more restricted than the site I remember using, but let's hope it gets the job done. Still, if you guys know of any other similar services, lemme know... ^^
