[NJARC] More bad news for RadioShack

[holland155]

I was at Radio Shack Delran NJ today. They said they are not closing, just a clearance sale. Get your 50% off transistors, resistors etc. parts quick before they are all gone. A pack of resistors .50c. . All the other stuff is just 20% off their original high prices. The parts drawer seems like the only real bargains . Slim pickin's in any case.

I was wrong earlier. This is another reorganization bankruptcy.

I think the first was a restructuring, and this one is a liquidation.
It's a shame. Radio Shack was a handy place to pick up a few things like resistors, wire etc.
For those who want a trip down memory lane, here's a link to the old Radio Shack catalogs. Ah, if we could just go back in time.
