Hey bud. Smalljoes.com has o-rings and stands very cheap. As for body parts, your best bet is to make a list of exactly what you need in the condition you want and post it in the buy/sell/trade forums here and on other G.I.Joe message boards. If you have nothing to trade, be sure to mention that you are only looking to buy. You are right in that people often have to take two not so great figures and mix & match them to create one good one. Sometimes you can find figure lots and parts lots on ebay for decent prices too...you may not need all the parts, but at least you get some extra to trade in the process.
For some figures, such as many of the '90s figs, it's cheaper to just buy a new, complete figure for $5 or so than it is to get all the body parts you need.
Hope that helps some! There's no quick and easy way to do it...welcome to having a brand new hobby! Also, if you haven't already found it, yojoe.com's figure archives are indispensible in helping people know what parts they need to complete figures.
