Radio Shack Bankrupcy

I haven't talked to any employees yet on the basis of it might be a bit of a sore subject.

Same for me in my area. There are two, and I don't even know if they're corporate or franchises. Not seeing any deals in the one closest to me though.

PM sent.

Those RS stores still look better than a local Dick Smith which I have herd is going to be increasing there electronics items slightly.

The store in Daytona Beach is in the second Tranche but the hole in the wall store in New Smyrna Beach isn't even on the lists.   

For some reason, I thought you lived in Orlando.

I actually live in Edgewater which is next to New Smyrna Beach.  Daytona is a hop, skip and a jump from here.

digging that thread up.

it seems radio shack will sell customer data they promised never to give away.

More precisely, the estate of RadioShack will sell customer data.

RadioShack itself never violated that promise.

Put them all in a sack and flog it: you'll always hit the right one!

They're even flogging the data they collected on behalf of AT&T, which was only supposed to be used by the phone company.

It is all about money!
