got a bag of a couple hundred 8.something or other MHz crystals from there
for a song a couple years ago, I've been using them for all my uC projects
since then.

If frequency is not important, Ebay is a great source of cheap crystals. ITam/WB2TT wrote:

I'm building a simple 6802 single board system. I want to drive the
CPU
with an external oscillator, rather than using a crystal (got lots of
4
pin
oscillators, not so many crystals). When using a crystal, the
frequency of
the crystal gets divided down by 4 by an internal part of the
processor
(so
you use a 4 MHz crystal for a 1MHz clock).
When using an external oscillator, like I want to do, does the same
divide
by 4 occur? That is, should I use a 4 MHz external oscillator, or a 1
MHz
oscillator for a 1 MHz system clock?

You might want to check out one of the 6805 variants. They may still be
in
production. BTW, if you want to do it on the cheap, use a ~3.58MHz color
burst crystal.
Using a 3.58MHz crystal used to be the smart way to get a cheap one, but I
don't
think TVs use them anymore.
I find resonators to be the optimum cost effective choice.
