Looks like Radio Shack is going to be closing some stores.

Shack was the B-52s greatest hit since the death of their guitarist Ricky Wilson.

No, Douche

I corrected you when you said they were going bankrupt, which they were not and still arent.


But if you think Not going bankrupt = STRONG BUY then I wanna trade with you

Maybe you know more about this than me though. You did read an article from last October


Oh and btw, the Stock went up 20% after I said that. Are you on the street?

People who do not have Internet access or a decent electronics store nearby.

I bought an electrical outlet converter there for my trip to Australia. We also bought some car iphone adapter. I hate those stores, but they're quicker than running into Best Buy.

People who tinker with electronics say that Radio Shack was always a great place to get components, but I suppose they can get those at Fry's now.

I bought a lavalier mic from there and it was a piece of shit.

they were always far too expensive, but they used to have things I needed that I could get nowhere else, lacking a music store nearby. Things like XLR-1/4 adaptors, 1/4-1/4 couplers etc.

Now I walk in to get something simple, like a digital audio cable and "well sir we don't have that in store...but we can order it online".

No, I need it today. Like an hour from now. Goodbye, I am heading to Worst Buy.

Radio Shack became irrelevant probably 15 years ago or more. When someone says, "I'm using a radio shack mic" it's another way of saying he/she is using a cheap piece of junk. The fact that their stores are still around is pretty remarkable. A store like Microcenter or Fry's is light years ahead of Radio Shack. Best Buy is okay if you need something right away, but if you can wait a week you can get new stuff or used stuff for so much cheaper online. I really do think Best Buy will be going out of business at some point, but I'm not really sure when. Sometimes it takes years for the giants to fall and sometimes they all topple quite suddenly.

Well ya know technically the sun doesn't rise... the Earth just rotates and it comes into view.

The brick and mortar business model is dying specifically for electronics. The great Blockbuster Video was replaced by a Red Box. Don't think that Amazon.com can't replace Best Buy. Amazon is too efficient of a company for Best Buy to compete with.

Yeah, I don't see how they last more than another 10 years or so...but they are trying their hardest to keep people shopping there, which works out nicely for me...they've pretty much taken the "Prime" thing and made their own version of it for people who spend a set amount of money with them in a given year (free expedited shipping, extra rewards points, etc.)...and they seem to be getting more aggressive with the 0% financing...I love Amazon but if I can get an identical item at Best Buy for roughly the same price I'm likely buying it there...
