Same thing happening to any company whose sales depend on people getting off their asses and actually walking/driving to a brick and mortar location?

best buy destroyed them

seriously, if you're looking for electronics, why wouldn't you go into a best buy, where there's more selection and better service? radio shack would have like 2 employees, and it was a pain to get in and out of that store in a time manner. they killed themselves.

they did a good job washing money though.

Selling shyt that no one wanted for high prices happened.
