Re: [Repeater-Builder] Radio Shack 10% Off Coupon good to 12/23
From a Radioshack dealer stand point fo view, right now, you should ba able to get a 10% discount on a great majority of items from Radioshack, and yes Neil, they are giving the shaft, and many reasons why, the got the gadget guys in there, and they are always a day late, and 1/3 over priced. And the best part, Out Of Stock. I often wonder why, with 7000 stores across the world, why is Radioshacks buying power less than those that only have a third the stores. Not to mention, they are always 10% to 30% more on the cost then everyone else. GO FIGURE!They don't want to be an accessory store, unless it deals with batteries, video cables, cell phones and accessories, etc...they won't carry it. Believe it or not, they are even downsizing on the tv antenna's and home phone accessories.Ah well. Guess I go into selling fishing lures and Rods. Huniting supplies and whatnot, always got a clientell for that.Mathew "Mark A.
