Online shopping + people find it easier to just buy new stuff and throw the old stuff away rather than fixing it
Caleb Murphy
Pushing phones instead of having neat gadgets and electronic parts.
Nathaniel Harris
They started to sell cellphones, and regular consumer shit at non competitive prices instead of titanium wires, and electronic experiment kits.
Landon Young
Not female friendly

Honestly though, they sold stuff nobody really needed or asked for. They would have been fine if they had started selling more electronics people wanted.
While it's true people are buying stuff online for the most part there is still a large majority of people who prefer going to a store and receiving their item the same day.
Noah Bailey
They dropped the ball on taking advantage of the "maker" renaissance and kept trying to peddle cellphones and RC cars.
Nolan Turner
So fucking expensive even when they were going out of business
Ian Lewis
Mouser
Michael Cruz
The CIA shut it down because they didn't want us to escape amazon

I went there for a VGA cable and it was $30. What a rip off place.
Caleb Green
their soldering stuff was really shitty and too expensive.
Joseph Martin

Only in 3rd world countries like the US. In the 1st world, aka Europe, you can order online in the morning and have it delivered the same afternoon.
Austin Cruz
with same day delivery your shit comes out at the same price as just going to a store and buying it.
Brody Price
You can order online in the US and have it delivered within the same hour.
Nolan Thompson
I loved RadioShack for the components and shit they used to have in stock. That said, the average consumer is not buying that stuff.
I think they also used to sell electronics like cellphones and laptops but their selection was always small and shitty because of the size of the stores.
Connor Cooper
I miss radioshack, a qt girl worked at mine
Parker Johnson
They tried to copy the jews merchanting techniques.
Ryan Bennett
they tried to be an extremely shitty and ridiculously expensive version of bestbuy.
Charles Morales
AutoZone was originally named AutoShack but Tandy sued them to make them change the name. Now RS is dead and AutoZone is doing well. Karma I guess.
Dominic King
Overpriced bullshit. Source: I worked there.
Baseband adapter was $29.99. This was RCA to CAT5. Cost was $0.97. It was at that point it caused me to look closer at how much we ripped people off.
It's sad though. I worked 25-30 hours a week 10 years ago and made about $62k a year just slinging cell phones.
It was a running joke: You have questions? We have cell phones.
Evan Rodriguez
The featured item on their front page is an AM/FM radio headset for $63.99. Definitely keeping up with the times there.

Possibly this.
Unclear if this.
Not this.
Definitely this.

Monoprice used to have a store in a mall in Ontario California that was basically my new radio shack for awhile
Christopher Hernandez
it was the RC cars
Isaiah Diaz
I didn't see the point of that store.
If you can drive to Ontario Mills, you can sure as fuck drive to the damn warehouse and pick up your order instead.
Blake Clark
>Hey you know that store that got famous selling microelectronic components and tools?
>Yea why
>They sell nothing but shitty RC cars and overpriced phones now.
>Do they at least sell radios?
>Nope
Gee I wonder why mini-BestBuy got the finger.
Adrian Richardson
Yeah, it's just down the street. Was kind of fun trying things out before you bought them though. Also, not having to order before hand. Probably why it closed
Christopher Campbell
But in yurope you have some turkroach delivering your item to you, and he probably took it out of the packaging and used it before giving it to you. And you can't complain about it either or else you will get sent to prison for being a racist. Such is life as a yuropoor. In america we just use drones.
Christian Bailey
Amazon.

>Not one hour delivery like in the US of A
Living in Europe must be like living in the 90s
