It really depends on what you are looking for. Cheapest is usually ebay because there is always someone undercutting all the dealers there. As far as an online storefront, I (or my wife) have used dtworld and prime discs. (Those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head). You should try paper or plastic sports as Scott is local and you might be able to actually dig through a bin to hand select your disc.

I'm typically willing to meet someone at a course or something unless I have to drive really far out of my way.  If it's just for a $7 dx disc then I'd rather arrange to ship it, but if it's a $20 order or something (or if a couple people want to meet up with me at a league night) just contact me a couple days in advance with what you're looking for, and I can usually see you there.

I'll let you know if I'd like to meet you somewhere.  I have a friend who's intrested in buying too.  ;)

I'd go with Prime Discs.  They usually have cheaper stuff and a better selection.  Also if you chose to, they will donate 10% of your purchase back to one of their affiliates which happens to be Discontinuum.

Fathergod, Why not just support your local disc vendor?  Especially since you can actually pick out what you want...

uhm, cause he asked for buying discs online?   Figured if he wanted to still go that route, the club would still profit

I don't offer a pay back to Discontinuum anymore, that's true - I'll probably start that service again once I have update the web store.  As far as a price comparison though, I'm either the same price or better in most common discs.  So go either way :)

Steven,

Adrian Sr. has the club stock. Good selection of new stuff for a good price.

Also,

Here is a list of my discs. I have quite a few $5 discs that have a lot of life in them.

Thanks for all the responses! I've got a lot of options now  ;D. Also does anyone have a Pro/Star Wraith 167-170?  Also, anyone have a good used disc golf bag?  O0

I know I have a new red star wraith - 168g $14, and I also should have some new Pro Wraith in that weight range at $10 each.

I have a used PDGA bag that is the same size as an innova standard bag, not sure what size bag you are looking for.  $10 would take it (cost me $25).
