That article capture Radio Shack exactly. I visit there maybe once every 2 or 3 years and I have a technical background. I don't know how they stay in business either. Who do they sell that stuff to??

Not me anymore. Last time I was in RS it was to buy a diplexer to hook up my external dish on a tripod in the motorhome. They wanted $21.99 for the same thing that I found for $3.99 at a local satellite business. I can get that part for about .97 wholesale but didn't want to wait.

That's usually when I stop in there: when I need something fast and I think they may have it. The last time I needed something was when the power connector for my laptop broke and I *really* needed to use it that night. They had the connector but I would have bought it online somewhere for cheaper if I had the time.

Excellent example of the RadioShack prices....

I laugh at Best Busy/CC on things like flash drives you can get for $15 cheaper at Wal-Mart.

But, RadioShack takes the cake.
