I took the liberty to visit RadioShack's web side to see why RadioShack is so popular and I was astonished when saw the outrageous prices. For example, they have LM324 chips at $1.49. I can buy them at around 0.40Eur. At the National Semiconductor's site they are for sale for only $0.33 plus shipping. Besides having a very limited variety of parts, prices from RadioShack are outrageous and pure robery. They are taking advantage of their monopoly in the United States.
Of course this doesn't affect me, but might affect you. Fell free to leave your opinion here.
