well I'm sure most of you who go to the shack (Radio shack) often have noticed a strange change.
They are not stocking any more of the small electronics that were so handy when you needed them ASAP
just yesterday i went in and they were taking out the drawers of parts like resistors, LEDs, circuit boards.
all the great stuff that was so useful.
they are leaning in towards selling consumer electronics now like ipods, Stereos, TVs...
most stores are even closing down
i have never seen a shack packed with people....they workers normally work in 2=3 stores at a time as well and are never doing much of anything.
so if you see one going out of biz and getting ready to fold in be sure to get the items on sale and resell them on eBay a few weeks later
now i rely on online electronic orders which is not the best for those "needed asap items"
i have made lots of orders with allelectronics.com but I'm staying away from them now as their shipping went up some due to the up in prices for USPS mail......
more info at this link (you may have to sign up for the board to view though)
