As somebody mentioned before Sprint will take over about half of the locations. Radioshack as a brand will no longer exist. Those stores will become boutique Sprint stores carrying phones, smartphones, personal media players and bluetooth speaker type things, along with offering value added services (Added to them anyways) such as security surveillance systems, TV and internet services, etc etc. Much like the AT&T stores. The radioshack down the street from me already liquidated. They are using it as an learning exercise to see how the liquidation of other stores in the area will go. Everything was 50% off lowest ticketed price so I stocked up on some various audio patch cables, PCB etchant, DeOxit, and the like.
Let me put it another way..
The shelves had been pretty much picked bare of all cameras, cell phones, radios, toys, etc.. All of the electronic components and related supplies were there still there. The general public does not give a rats ass about electronic engineering and there are not enough hobbyists to keep something like that going anymore. The infamous Radio Shack metal sliding drawers were all still full. What does that tell you..
A side note. There were a stack of about 30 classic desk cassette recorders. Sad.. I also got about 10 seed studio arduino uno Ethernet shields for a couple bucks each. They are the older discontinued one, but they still work.
