Radio Shack
7/17/2008:
You know? Those guys at Radio Shack must have ESP… because I was about to publish some pictures of how the place literally looked like a “shack,” with peeling paint and cruddy exterior. What do you know? They spruced up the joint by putting a fresh coat of paint on and removing the ugly & rusty security shutter. Great move!

I bought a splitter for my car – so I could plug in TomTom & a radar detector.

I love Radioshack. It’s like legos for adults.
Other than that, they have good deals once in a while on cameras and other gadgets. Toys are cool. But yeah, like Katie said, if you need something for your home electronics, it’s easier to go than to trek to the mall or elsewhere only to not be able to locate what Radioshack already has.

yeah, i guess for simple AV cables and splitters. i just buy everything online anymore. monoprice has the cheapest cables you’ll ever find. best buy is the answer for anything i need to by from a B&M electronics store. as for actual electronics like digital cameras and TVs, i shop online and find the best prices.
i guess if you need something now, RS is convenient, I’m just amazed it does enough business to survive in Hoboken’s high rents!

1.Start Internet Explorer.
2.On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3.On the Advanced tab, click to select the Disable Script Debugging check box in the Browsing section. (for IE and Other)
4.Click OK, and then restart Windows.
So far, so good.

It’s good for wires, cables, batteries, and citizen band radios if people are into that sort of thing anymore.

It’s good for “I need it now” and “I’m am afraid of the internets” types.

i guess i just still find it crazy that some people are afraid of internet purchases. i understand the i need it now, but i never really need something right now that i can’t wait to save 30-40%.

I tend to buy things from Radio Shack when the price of shipping from an online outfit costs more than the piece I’m buying. However, Radio shack doesn’t carry the selection of component parts like they used to, in which case it’s usually Jameco for me.
