I completely agree. I occasionally patronize (is it time to put that in the past tense yet?) my local Radio Shack for parts, but for the 99% of my purchases where I'm not in a big hurry and I don't need to see the item in person, they don't get my business.
They sell a lot of stuff I and a lot of other people buy. Electronics parts, cables, kits, fun remote controlled vehicles, and yes, even cell phones. The problem is not that the market somehow evaporated out from under them. The problem is that they became a crappy place to buy these things compared to the competition.
