Radio Shack closed here in Canukada years ago. Circuit City bought out the Canadian end of it then Bell bought it from Circuit City when they went under. They still had the cool toys and other gizmos but got rid of a lot of the electronics stuff. The closest stores to us have all closed in the last few years.

That drove me crazy, one time I answered, " 11, 22, Boogie Boogie Ave" and the guy wrote it down. I guess they wanted a mailing list. Funny... I had a close friend worked at Radio Shack.. Got tired of asking the guys for their home info so he just added some phoney address. After doing this for a couple of months, since Radio Shack used this info to mail out their catalogs they got many catalogs back with "No such address".. A regional Radio Shack manager came in, confronted him and then fired him... Just my $0.02...

They still sounded and work great. I still have them, they are hanging from the ceiling in my garage now. My Monster are real! Living within your means makes life pretty easy.

Why didn't I get rid of this crap when it was still worth something? Who knows. I often fall victim to "I might need that someday". Same thing with car parts. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
