I am looking for a local place that sells electronic components. I am in need of a couple 10V 3300Uf 105*C caps and would like to find locally as I don't need to order 100 off of eBay.

Try Geekz on 18th they might have a couple they could sell you.

Try this online company from Burlington Ontario. I've order lots of caps from them and they are great

Try digikey or mouser, a quick google search will find either. These places will be charging the most reasonable prices. For a 10V 3.3 mF capacitor, I would expect prices under a dollar.  
 
I wish you could support local but those businesses are not prevalent anymore.  
 
Good luck searching.

They are $1.48 each or less depending on quantity.

I had a very bad experience dealing with local electronics repair shops and retailers lately trying to find capacitors locally. I Gave-up on keeping my dollar local for this project,as much as I hate to send away for things that ought to be available here.  
 
DigiKey is so far the cheapest place I could find online for getting these small parts. They are all comparable for the actual price, but it's the SHIPPING that gets you!! DigiKey has flat rate $8 up to $200 order value, then free, by far the cheapest I've found.  
 
It's a major PAIN to actually order from there, but worth the effort.  
 
Here's some hints:  
 
-create an account.  
-click on the products.  
-select capacitors, aluminum capacitors(presumably, there's some other types that's up to you)  
-choose the cut-tape packaging(so you don't have to order a minimum of like 2000 capacitors)  
-select your desired values for voltage, capacitance,temperature rating, through-hole mounting from the lists across the screen.  
-click on "apply filters"  
-choose an appropriate unit based on your desired reliability rating, brand and price from the many capacitors meeting your specs by clicking on it's part number. Then enter a quantity and add it to your shopping cart.  
 
after it's in your cart(45 second delay to display your item in the cart *you must wait for the list to appear*), click on products, and start again to add any additional items. clicking the back button will loose your shopping cart.  
 
Good luck
