Default where/how to buy bearings.

Stupid question I guess but I'm needing to purchase some bearings for something that is none aircraft related. Has anyone bought or know a good source for bearings? Additionally what measurements do they typically need? My thinking is inner diameter and outer as well as possibly width.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks for the website. I'll have to give them a call on some of the pricing. I just need a run of the mill bearing something that would be okay for weather , double seal i imagine, Some of those bearings look to be overkill.

Vote #2 for Mcmaster. Amazingly huge selection of hardware, overnight delivery in the US is common. They're like the Digikey of hardware, near as I can tell.
