I'm looking for small (eg 10x5x5 mm) Neodymium magnets.
(A.k.a. Rare Earth magnets or super magnets)
Can anybody point my nose in the right direction?
I ordered them in China months ago, but again: no show!

Loads on eBay, I bought some recently.

Excuse my ignorance Erik, but what are they used for ?

What do you use normal magnets for? These are just extremly strong for their size (and can be a risc of pinching your skin)
You surly have seen them and probably even own a few; they are often used as "snaps" to close/shut flaps of wallets and handbags

Thanks Erik, I thought they were some type of electronic magnet

I bought some in the UK from a model shop. Is there such a thing in Rosario?

Only know of a shop doing something with RC racing cars.
No big deal concerning parts.
