Bestbuy is full of overpriced crap...all you can buy is dynex or monster cable....The only thing I have ever purchased from a Radioshack was a Digital Coax cable....Best Buy is just a straight rip off though.Originally Posted by MusicalExcellence

- you just dont know how right you are on this......
- the radio shack i worked at could also sell non radio shack items. so our store had (for example) $15 uniden cordless phones for sell alongside the regular radio shack authorized phones. the owner of our store also didnt believe in throwing anything away. so we still had cordless phones from the 80's for sale. YES! im talking about the old cordless phones with the chrome antenna you had to pull up when you made a call.
- we'd have old folks come in and want only those phones. no matter how much better (and cheaper) the uniden was they wanted that radio shack phone because it had "radio shack" on it. and i swear, the old dude i worked for still had those 80's prices on thos phones too ($100+).
- we also still had in-dash 8-track players for the car....no joke.
- older folks also buy hearing impared phones that radio shack has too. kinda like those jitterbug phones, but for the home. with big buttons, bright lights and pictures of people. old folks eat that stuff up, or someone looking for a phone for their elderly parents

- have YOU visited your local RS? there are many things BestBuy just doesnt have, and besides RS the only other place to get it is online......
- case and point, when's the last time you seen one of these in a ANY store? (its an inline device you attached to your home phone to record conversations)
- my homeboy had one of these. use to record his wife and ride around listening to her conversations.....

- why though? i could understand in a pinch, but with sites like monoprice i dont buy a damn thing from radioshack.....especially after i worked there and seen how much i could get the stuff for online.
