Just an FYI on the New Bruns store. I went back to look for more battery
holders, which they have a bunch of still, the PRO668 scanners were all
gone! The Somerset store told me they were not closing so if you need
some parts, that's one location to find them at the reg price.

> Dave, I never go to a Radio Shack store without first checking to make sure the part I want is in stock. Just go to their website and find what you want. Click on the item, click on "find in store," add your zip code and it will tell you which stores have it within a certain radius of your house. It saves wasted trips, for sure.

> When RS was closing in Raritan I wanted to buy an amplified OTA HDTV antnenna (one of ones that look like a frisbee). They had a "current" model one, and an oldder model one on their showroom floor. I tried to buy the old one, which had a better range, but they could not find it in their own inventory. It had clearly been sitting there for several years, and was not a current stock product. The store clerk tried looking it up online in there website, and in their internal system. He actually ended up giving up, and refusing to sell it to me.

> A store that was going out of business refused to sell me something they carried in stock. They were selling the floor fixtures, drawers, shelves, etc. at some point, but couldn't sell me one of their own products! For all I know it's the only thing in the store today, the shelves are gone. Or more likely someone else got a good deal on it (or it went back to their warehouse never to be seen again, right next to the Ark of the Covenant).
