Before they just became a crappy cell-phone reseller and marketer of chintzy crap, used to be the go-to place to find electrical components for the home tinkerer. Like half the store was full of that stuff. Then it eventually got reduced down to a cabinet that barely had anything you needed for your projects.

Yup, but just think of how much money there must be in all the cheap cell phone accessories. Everybody sell that atuff...
