Not as cool as they were when I was a kid but they have their place for me. I remember the awe inspiring visits. Radio shack was the first step on my way to my first Tamiya. Radio shack and Tyco got me hooked long before I knew what was decent. | |

Wonder what they'll do with the millions of alkaline battery bricks they rarely if ever sold. Or all those resistors that are way out spec.

Wow. Our Radio Shacks have been moving to smaller stores and the one in the mall just left after Christmas. I bought my last kilo of solder there. I have had it for over a year this time. I think RadioShack was being held up by cell phone sales, actually. They were selling phones outright without contract. |

I read an interesting article this morning about this. They essentially alienated the base of customers who were tinkering and tried to become a cell phone store, and alienated the cell phone companies by not only wanting money for selling, but also a monthly fee when the customers paid the bills. I tried to go there a few times, and when they wanted $18.95 for a single watch battery, I ordered a pack of 5 Renata batteries from Amazon for $7 free shipping.

I have two Fry's within an hour of me. I go there often to get things. I got my gf's last camera there. It was marked down in their sale ad to one dollar cheaper than what I found it on Amazon for. Pretty nice

You drove almost/within an hour to save a dollar? But pay tax and gas?
