RadioShack Under $1: The Clock Is Ticking

[Victorian Gray]

"Shack" always sounded so cheesy. They should have gone with the flow and renamed RadioCrib. They could have sold those crummy "Beats by Dre" headphones that sell for $200 but cost $15 to make. Its hysterical to see all these dopes who listen to nothing but bass and rhythm act like they are super connoisseurs with they sparkle junk headphones

Hello Apple...

Maybe they should do what a lot of other retailers with financial problems are doing and start to accept Bitcoin for a payment form. LOL

Agreed on this. Beats are crap.

I'd rather have a pair of Sony MDR7506's (cost around 80-90 bucks retail) and I am not a brand fanboy.

As has already been replied to you, you're being purposefully simplistic and ignoring what's actually being said. There's a wide range of electronics people want that are more popular than ever. Riding the whole business on any one of them is dumb (when that product crashes so does your business... its as dumb as putting all your money in one stock) but a wide range of products certainly works.



And yet look where their profits went. Straight down.

You've missed the point YET AGAIN... I don't buy *anything* at Radio Shack and haven't for a very long time. They don't sell anything relevant, and haven't for years.

If they had focused on building a modern presence in the electronics business like others have (Fry's, mentioned several times now) and done it right they could be a raging success instead of on there company deathbed.

I dont think you understood my question. What could RS have done to stay alive? They found a market that brought in huge profits for that activity. The stuff they had always done was not bringing in money. So what should have RS done?

You already admitted that you did not shop at RS, so why would anyone else?The cell phone bubble is the only thing that they really could have done. Selling the crap they used to had stopped making them money a long time ago. You are saying they should have kept doing that?
