Radio junk here was gone in a week after the announcement.
We used to have 2 radio junk stores.
Today I see the Dollar General is closing. Bad sign when Dollar Gen
can't make it.
Family Dollar near my Daughter's house is gone also, but Dollar Gen
closed one and opened 2 new stores there.

I buy stuff from DealExtreme, it is really cheap but sometimes takes a
month or 6 weeks to show up via Hong Kong post, but never a problem with
anything. Some stuff I got recently was shipped via Netherlands Post, I
have no idea what that was about.

Sharper Image
I think their biggest mistake was hiring stupid staffers. The ones
I've been to in the last couple years were strictly minimum wage and
hired the idiots that were too stupid to work at Best Buy. I finally
got to the point where they'd let me alone and I could go buy solder
or connectors or wha

Another factor is that micro sized surface mounted chips have made
repairing electronics more difficult for the DIYer. The quality of parts at
