the doorbuster items were so good. i worked at radioshack around the same time and my favorite thing we tried to push was this $89 5.1 surround system with an unpowered subwoofer that didn't really do anything and was just for decoration

I impulse bought a digital camera from RadioShack on black friday once and the pictures it took were so low quality I just dropped it in the garbage. Was too embarrassed to even return it.

The free radio shack flashlight coupons! One year my brother and I went door-to-door pretending to collect newspapers for recycling. We were just trying to get the coupons.

I was trying to explain Radio Shack to my kid last night (“I got this great remote control car when I was 11…”) and its magic is too ineffable to explain to someone born in this century.

but it's $89

it's just a subwoofer capable of reproducing extremely low frequencies like 0Hz

So did Bose, TBH. Acoustimass 10 was unpowered and weak as hell.

This completely rules

Pretty sure I bought that one. The subwoofer weighed about two pounds, too.

Hahaha
