I used to go to Best Buy weekly to look for new movies and games, but since they eliminated movies and scaled back games, I've been doing all that shopping on Amazon instead... I guess it shows who wants my money and who doesn't.
Best Buy is going to end up being just another "Hey, remember ~~Fry's~~? ~~Circuit City~~? ~~CompUSA~~? ~~Good Guys~~? ~~Tower~~? ~~Computer City~~?"
I only ever remember RadioShack selling prepaid phones, RC cars, and other consumer electronics, but apparently at one point in time they sold small-scale electronic components for hobbyists.
lol yeah, in the 90s you could go in there and buy a couple resistors, a couple capacitors, and a couple (expensive, crappy) LEDs
I can see how that didn’t work out for them though
