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.

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.
Ours shut down a coupla weeks ago. There was an article in the paper
about one have a clearance sale, I was out and went by there, it was all
papered over and closed.

There are two factors here. True, Americans rarely build things any more

obsolete and is replaced long before it needs repair, especially with

I think their biggest mistake was hiring stupid staffers. The ones
