Parts and Inventory - What should be carried? Where do you source?

Hello All,

I am starting a small PC / Mac repair shop and have some questions about parts and inventory that hopefully someone can help answer. What parts should you have on hand? How many parts should you have on hand at any given time? If you don't have a part needed for a repair, what's the best way to get that part in a timely manner while still making a profit? When it comes to sourcing parts, I'm unsure of what to do. I have a wholesale account with iFixit that I can use to order good parts for mobile devices, but I don't see any parts for computers. I want to source quality parts, but at a good price for the devices that I fix. I could easily go to a nearby Microcenter or Bestbuy and buy the part, but the price would be way more than what I want to charge the customer. So my question to you is where can I start when to comes to finding a reliable place to source parts? How much should I be spending on parts as a startup?

Thank you all for the help!

older wired & wireless keyboards and mice

OWC inline thermal sensors

21" & 27" iMac screen adhesive strips

keyboard skins for give aways

Several types of Mag-Safe Adapters

@kaykay this answer might be of interest to you, because you don't carry a lot of these things that I use the most. These are things I buy in lots.

Well that's what comes to me off the top of my head .

This is good stuff...

I would add for phones; Lightning Port Flexes and screen adhesives for the 6S/7 series. Also if ordering parts cost-effectively is an issue, then the standard flexes like Power button, Volume button, camera and sensor flexes because you never know when your going to accidentally tear one.
