Well to offset into another feild ( excuse me while
we chase a rabbit bear with me please ) I knew of a large business transaction
and only thing was blocking was certain persons who sat on a board of this
famous company, well after they retired off , bingo sales negotiations opened
again for bids as usuall, well it wasnt long their entire fleet was replaced by
the little red oval aka Peterbilt trucks.
Mat things happen like execs who retire, move onto
other jobs etc.. I just bought a Sanyo 8200 PCS & did a 15 day with
sprint like the phone and plan on for that price another for XYL .
all everyone has to do is wait for these guys to
retire or get fired..
I'll reserve all the other stories so I don't upset
any person who does not like to read the rest of the stuff I know and I feel
point was made rightly here.
Radio Shack will probably chgange execs just like
any other biz.

Shack electronic parts availability
At this time they still have the parts distribution, but the word that
has been at our annual meetings is that they will diminish it in a large
way. Where they mess up is with the shipping, order $50.00 worth
of parts that weighs no more than a pound, and they want $7.00 to ship
it. They ship by the price and not the total weight, but we have been
told they are killing it. For example, try to order a needle now for a
record player and you will see they will tell you to check in store stock,
same goes for the odd cordless phone batteries. Trust me, I order from
them all the time for our store, and they are dimishing, but will tell you the
interest is still there. A few months back they offered all their
instock componets at 20 to 50% off, told us it was an attempt to drive up
sales that did not work. I can list a number of sku's that has not had
sales in nearly 4 years, and that is how these items end up in RSU. But
it is dying, as stated by Dave Edmondson, CEO, and Paul Rickles has no
intentions of driving sales for the EE field, not has any intentions of
promoting amateur radio ever again.

Mathew,
I just got off the telephone with a Radio Shack
Rep in Dallas. Rep said they are still in the commercial
component business. She did mention a few years ago they dropped
a kit building product but RS is still selling industrial components and
going strong. She suggested viewing their web site www.radioshack.com. I just did and
they still have the commercial parts section. Its in the upper right hand
corner of their website front page. Being components are difficult to
find as we all know. So if you ask questions they just might have it.
I certanily would not exclude them from the rolladex file card holder just
yet. I have no involvement or interest in Radio Shack but there
is a lot of people like me who still occasionally need parts. RS
commercial just may have it.
