Where did you find stuff "at a reasonable price?"

I bought a box of brushed motor parts from someone back in the day and it came with a armature tube about half full of shims. Equivalent to about half a shot glass full. At the prices I see today that looks like around $500 of shims. That's ridiculous. They weren't anywhere near as expensive as that back then.
